The Let This Grieving Soul Retire TV anime adaptation is pressing on with a sequel.
An announcement trailer for the continuation, which doesn’t have a release date yet, was released. The X (formerly Twitter) post by the Let This Grieving Soul Retire account used the term “second cour” for it.
Separately, Crunchyroll announced that it will stream the new cour.
Let This Grieving Soul Retire premiered early on some Japanese streaming services on September 29 JST and began its TV broadcast on October 1 JST. Crunchyroll, Muse Asia, and Bilibili stream the show overseas.
Let This Grieving Soul Retire adapts the light novels written by Tsukikage and illustrated by Chyko. J-Novel Club describes the books’ premise as:
It’s the golden age for treasure hunters—adventurers hungry for wealth, fame, power, and glory, who risk their lives in treasure vaults throughout the world. “Let’s become treasure hunters.” Krai and his childhood friends swore to become the greatest of them all, but that dream should have died the day Krai realized he wasn’t cut out for the job! Yet expectations continue to mount, right along with Krai’s fear for his life. While his childhood friends climb closer toward their dream, this grieving soul has one simple wish: to pack it all in and retire!
The first volume of the light novels was released in August 2018, after the web novel’s debut on Shousetsuka ni Narou earlier in the same year, and there are 12 volumes as of September 2024. Micro Magazine publishes the series under its GC Novels label. There is also a manga by Rai Hebino, which Yen Press publishes in English.
