The Fuji TV Anime Lineup Presentation event announced a second anime season for Kotoyama's Yofukashi no Uta (Call of the Night) manga on Monday. The official website also revealed the main staff, cast, a teaser visual (pictured), and an announcement promo.

Tomoyuki Itamura (Vanitas no Karte) is returning to direct the anime. The lead cast are reprising their roles.

The first season produced by LIDENFILMS aired in 13 episodes on Fuji TV's noitaminA programming block in Summer 2022. Sentai Filmworks licensed the anime and simulcast it on HIDIVE and later streamed an English dub.

Kotoyama began the supernatural romance manga in Weekly Shounen Sunday in August 2019, a year and four months after concluding Dagashi Kashi in the same magazine, and ended it on January 24. Shogakukan published the 19th volume on February 16, with the 20th and final volume scheduled for a March 18 release. Yofukashi no Uta has a cumulative 2.5 million copies of its volumes in circulation.

VIZ Media licensed the manga in English in July 2020 and released the 14th volume last December. The 15th volume will go on sale on Tuesday.

Synopsis
Kou Yamori is an average middle school student who struggles with grasping the complex concept of love. Because he sees little sense in surrendering to the norm, he soon stops going to school. Plagued with insomnia due to his idleness, Kou begins roaming the lonesome streets at night.

One night, Kou encounters a bizarre girl named Nazuna Nanakusa who believes that people stay awake during the night because they are dissatisfied with how they spent their day and cannot rest until they release their inhibitions. Nazuna offers to help Kou with his sleep issues and invites him over to her place, where she convinces him to share a futon with her. Feeling uncomfortable, Kou only pretends to doze off—which is when Nazuna suddenly bites his neck, revealing herself to be a vampire!

While Kou thinks the bite will turn him into a vampire, the specifics of transforming are not that simple. In order to change, he must be bitten by someone he truly loves. Ready to let go of his dreary mortal life, Kou decides on a new goal: he will fall in love with Nazuna and become a vampire himself. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Unexpected but good news. So, who read the manga? Will we ever be able to get a full manga adaptation this way?

Oh, that's great. It didn't take long for the anime to continue after the manga ended.

Tomoyuki Itamura returns, the sound actors return and OH YES! The most beautiful night atmosphere returns.

@RobertBobert So, the first season of the anime ended at chapter 46 of the manga, and now it will be the second season. By simple calculations, it follows that it takes about 3-4 seasons of anime to get a full adaptation of manga.

@Omarumba So in order for us to see the ending of the story on screen, it has to be REALLY popular?

@RobertBobert The work itself is quite popular in Japan, and in 2023, the manga won the 68th Shogakukan Manga Award for the shōnen category. The first season of the anime adaptation was even compared by some critics to Monogatari, with which Tomoyuki also worked.

The only question is whether or not LidenFilms, with the support of Masanori Miyake and the rest of the production staff, will take on the adaptation of the entire manga.

@Omarumba Well, I think releasing a season of multiple courses or movies/OVAs could solve the problem. If the original manga is really that popular.

@cyruz I was just thinking about S1 a few nights ago when Creepy Nuts' ED came up on my playlist.

Just FYI there's no way they're going to be able to top that banger.

@RobertBobert it would need 24 episodes at least to adapt entire manga. That being said, next arc following where season 1 ended is absolute banger. I have very high hopes for s2.

@JagdCrab I don't know what will happen next, but I hope it will at least keep the vibe and style of the first season.

Hopefully the story won't be ruined by some cringe forced drama between Nazuna and Anko(the detective) and that it will be fun like the first season.

:D well that was an unexpected and pleasant surprise! i figured it would take till '25 for this one to get another Season. well... it is early in the 'year' so i guess a Summer '24 (like S1 was in Summer '22) release isn't impossible... but i doubt it will happen that soon.

I genuinely didn't think this would happen. Hopefully this means Sunday is considering second seasons for Komi and Sleepy Princess.

@malvarez1 Komi would be the third season and I think it's highly possible.

Oh, I thought I left a message here but guess not, too important to pass...

Celebrated this with a friend irl for a change, lol. Really pleased to see this getting green-lit, it was almost getting to the point where no sequel would come and get left behind by the driving industry.
