Norio Sakurai’s The Dangers in My Heart anime adaptation has its second season green-lit straight after its final episode airing on Sunday. The second season of the rom-com anime is slated to premiere on January 2024.
The brief teaser shared on TV Asahi’s NUMAnimation Youtube channel aptly revealed that the second season of the anime would also take the same time slot as its predecessor under the TV Asahi channel and its 23 affiliates, including BS Asahi.
The series manga artist Norio Sakurai also confirmed the announcement, as the anime’s official Twitter account tweeted the news alongside a commemorative illustration drawn by the artist.
Norio Sakurai began serializing The Dangers in My Heart in Shōkan Shōnen Champion Magazine on March 8, 2018. It has since moved to Champion Cross, then Manga Cross. The manga has been published in English as The Dangers in My Heart by Seven Seas Entertainment since July 2021.
The story follows Kyoutarou Ichikawa, a high school boy with a severe case of “middle-school syndrome” who is obsessed with murder-themed grotesque novels. His eyes often wander to his classmate, the popular and beautiful Anna Yamada, where he indulges in dangerous delusions.
One day, Yamada unexpectedly visits Ichikawa’s sacred territory, the school library. Mistakenly thinking that he is alone, she cheerfully eats rice balls, sings to herself, and behaves unpredictably, drawing Kyoutarou’s attention. As he becomes more fascinated with her unpredictable behavior, he finds himself increasingly drawn to her.
