HIDIVE will be streaming the second season of Call of the Night, as it did with the first season, and describes the main synopsis as:
Ko overcomes his confusion about becoming a vampire and decides to “like” Nazuna, while Nazuna resolves to make Ko “fall in love” with her. Without understanding what “love” even is, the two of them spend their nights together in a frenzy. Meanwhile, Detective Uguisu Anko is closing in with her plot to kill vampires, not just Nazuna. A vampire’s weakness is “anything they were attached to when they were human” and so they all try to get rid of this weakness before it’s too late. But, Nazuna has no memory of her human life. What is Nazuna’s hidden past? Why did Anko start killing vampires? And what is the “secret” that Nazuna and Anko share? For Ko, Nazuna, Anko, a fun “late night” doesn’t end here… a new “night” begins!
The second season of Call of the Night was first announced in March 2024. Season one premiered in July 2022 and was also streamed in select English-speaking countries outside of Japan.
The anime is based on the supernatural romance manga series by Kotoyama that began in Weekly Shonen Sunday on August 28, 2019 and ended on January 24, 2024. Twenty total tankobon volumes were released during its publication.
Viz Media releases the Call of the Night manga in English, describing the main premise as:
One sleepless night, Ko slips out to walk the streets. Life after dark is a revelation! When flirtatious Nazuna invites Ko to spend the night at her place in an abandoned building, he’s stoked! But then he awakens to kisses on his neck with a little too much bite to them… Is it just the delicious taste of his blood that makes her meet him night after night for late-night adventures, conversation and…naps? Or something else? Then, when a cute girl from Ko’s past shows up and competes for his attention, his budding relationship with the undead is put to the test!
