The second season of Kakuriyo: Bed & Breakfast for Spirits that was announced last April has received some updates, including its official Japanese title (Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi Ni, with “Ni” meaning “2”) and some character images for Aoi Tsubaki, Odanna, and Ginji.
The new season’s production credits were also revealed. They include:
• Director: Joe Yoshizaki (The Brilliant Healer’s New Life in the Shadows)
• Series composer and scriptwriter: Tomoko Konparu (reprising, previously co-scriptwriter)
• Character designer: 桂英未 (The Brilliant Healer’s New Life in the Shadows settei developer)
• Animation production: GONZO and Makaria (previously just GONZO)
Meanwhile, the cast list includes:
• Nao Toyama as Aoi Tsubaki
• Katsuyuki Konishi as Odanna
• Shunichi Toki as Ginji
The new Kakuriyo: Bed & Breakfast for Spirits season will premiere in the Fall 2025 anime season. It is based on the KADOKAWA-published light novel series written by Midori Yuma and illustrated by Laruha, which is published under the Fujimi L Bunko label and ran from 2015 to 2022 with 12 volumes. Crunchyroll describes the 2018 first anime season as:
After losing her grandfather, Aoi—a girl who can see spirits known as ayakashi—is suddenly approached by an ogre. Demanding she pay her grandfather’s debt, he makes a huge request: her hand in marriage! Refusing this absurd offer, Aoi decides to work at the Tenjin-ya bed and breakfast for the ayakashi to pay back what her family owes.
The light novels have inspired two manga adaptations, the first published by KADOKAWA and the second by Kodansha. Viz Media has licensed the former.
