"The second season is confirmed! This is all thanks to everyone's support. I am also very grateful to all the staff members.

Just like the first season, the anime production team is very skilled at condensing the story and highlighting the most important parts. So for the second season, I also requested the production team: 'Please select the parts you find most interesting to adapt for the entire work!'

Furthermore, because the voice actors' improvisations are also very interesting, I specifically requested that as well. Which scenes will be animated? What kind of results will we see? I am already very excited!

To all the readers and viewers who watched the first season, thank you so very much."

From her message, it's clear that Kawahara-sensei has great trust in the anime production team Studio KAI, particularly praising their control over the story's pacing and the voice actors' performances.
