Prepare your hearts for another dose of wholesome sweetness, as the highly anticipated second season of “The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten” has officially been slated for an April 2026 premiere.
The announcement, which came earlier today, has sent waves of excitement through the romance anime community, confirming that the story of Amane Fujimiya and his angelic neighbor Mahiru Shiina is far from over.
The confirmation arrived alongside a brand-new teaser trailer, offering fans a tantalizing glimpse into the continuing adventures of the beloved pair. While the trailer keeps specific plot points under wraps, it beautifully recaptures the warm and gentle atmosphere that made the first season a breakout hit of the Winter 2023 lineup. The brief clips showcase Amane and Mahiru sharing more cozy moments, hinting at the evolution of their relationship now that they have officially become a couple.
The first season, animated by studio Project No. 9, chronicled the heartwarming journey of the slovenly Amane and the seemingly perfect “angel” Mahiru. What began as a simple act of kindness, Amane lending Mahiru his umbrella, blossomed into a unique arrangement where Mahiru takes it upon herself to cook for and clean up after her helpless neighbor. This proximity slowly but surely closed the distance between them, culminating in a touching confession that left viewers eager for more.
What’s Next for Amane and Mahiru In The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten Season 2?
With Season 2, the narrative will move beyond the initial “will they, won’t they” phase and delve into the delightful, and sometimes awkward, realities of their new relationship. Fans of Saekisan’s original light novel series, the source material for the anime, know that this new chapter is filled with even more “diabetic” moments as Amane and Mahiru navigate their first real romance.
The story is expected to adapt the subsequent volumes of the light novel, likely beginning with Volume 5. This will see the couple learning to be more open with their friends, Itsuki Akasawa and Chitose Shirakawa, and even facing the delightful chaos of meeting each other’s parents as a couple.
The second season promises to explore the deeper emotional intimacy between them, moving past the initial shyness to a more confident and shared affection, all while retaining the series’ signature slow-burn charm.

Returning Cast and Crew
Ensuring continuity, the core voice cast is set to reprise their roles. Taito Ban will return as the ever-relatable Amane Fujimiya, and Manaka Iwami will once again voice the angelic yet surprisingly endearing Mahiru Shiina. They will be joined by Taku Yashiro as Itsuki Akasawa and Haruka Shiraishi as Chitose Shirakawa.
Studio Project No. 9 will continue to helm the animation. While the first season’s direction was a key part of its success, a notable change comes with Chihiro Kumano stepping into the director’s chair for the sequel. Keiichiro Ochi will continue to handle the series composition, ensuring the story’s structure remains faithful to the source material, and Takayuki Noguchi returns as the character designer, preserving the soft and appealing aesthetic of the characters.
The announcement of an April 2026 release gives the production team ample time to deliver a season that meets the high expectations set by its predecessor. As promotional materials like key visuals and full trailers are released over the coming months, the excitement for more of Amane and Mahiru’s sweet and spoiling romance will only continue to build. For now, fans can rest easy knowing that their favorite angel is officially preparing her return.
