A trailer and visual have been released for SHOSHIMIN: How to become Ordinary Season 2’s “Shuuki Gentei Kurikinton Jiken” (“The Fall-exclusive Kurikinton Incident”) arc. The anime’s April 5 JST (effectively April 6 at 1:30 AM JST) premiere date and theme song details were also revealed.
The theme songs are Yorushika‘s “Kaseijin” (opening) and Yanagi Nagi‘s “SugaRiddle” (ending).
Additionally, the anime will have an early screening event on April 5 JST at United Cinema Aqua City Odaiba, hours before the broadcast premiere.
SHOSHIMIN‘s first season began airing in Japan on July 6 JST (effectively July 7 at 1:30 AM JST) in 2024 and ran for 10 episodes. Crunchyroll describes the premise as:
Kobato decides to become an honest, humble citizen after enduring a bitter experience known as “wisdom work.” He forms a pact with Osanai, his classmate with the same goal, and they plan to enter high school leading quiet lives. But for some reason, inexplicable events and disasters keep happening around them. Will Kobato and Osanai ever manage to live ordinary, peaceful lives?
The anime is based on the SHOSHIMIN Series by Hyouka‘s Honobu Yonezawa, which is published under Tokyo Sogensha Sougen’s Suiri Bunko label and had four main volumes released between 2004 to 2009. A short story compilation was released in 2020, and a new novel was released in April 2024. The first two books have inspired manga adaptations.
