The TV anime Yuusha Party ni Kawaii Ko ga Ita no de, Kokuhaku Shite Mita. — affectionately nicknamed “Yuukawa” by fans — has officially been greenlit for a second season, scheduled to air in the Winter 2026 broadcast season.

Based on the original work by author Mizuhoshi and manga artist Kairi, the series follows Youki, a demon-race warrior reincarnated into another world and tasked with defeating a hero’s party — who instead falls head over heels for the party’s cleric, Cecilia. The result is a sweet fantasy romantic comedy full of awkward, heartfelt moments.

• Amasaki Kohei — Youki

• Noguchi Iori (of ≒LOVE) — Happiness
• Murase Ayumu — Raven

Cast and Creators React

Mizuhoshi (original author) commented: “There are still so many episodes I wanted to see animated and characters I wanted to appear, so I’m truly nothing but grateful. Let’s get excited and wait for more news — just not so much that Cecilia gets angry at us.”

Kairi (manga artist) added: “I’m so happy we’ll get to see Youki and Cecilia moving and talking again. Could that episode I always wanted to see in the anime actually happen…?! I’m already looking forward to it!”

Amasaki Kohei (Youki) said he was genuinely surprised when he heard the news, and revealed that at the Season 1 wrap party, the entire cast and staff had voiced their desire to make a second season together. “I’m so happy that dream has come true, and I feel it’s all thanks to everyone who supported us. Playing Youki in Season 1 was an absolute blast, and I can’t wait to do it again in Season 2. I’ll give it everything I’ve got — please look forward to it!”

Hanazawa Kana (Cecilia) shared: “I’m so thrilled to get to portray that fluttery, fresh romance between Youki and Cecilia again. Yuukawa fans, please look forward to what’s coming!”

Noguchi Iori (Happiness) said: “I can’t believe I get to breathe in that pure, wholesome air again — I’m so happy! I’m really looking forward to seeing Happiness, and also what happens next between her and Raven. The warm, spring-like feeling of Yuukawa is something I’m already counting down to.”

Murase Ayumu (Raven) closed with: “Congratulations on Season 2! I’m going to be giddily waiting for recording days so I can do those bittersweet scenes with Happiness again. Everyone, please look forward to it!”
