We were surprised back in June when the official Japanese site for The Morose Mononokean revealed that a second season had been given the green light. It wasn’t going to be totally like the first season as Itsuro Kawasaki is stepping in to direct it while most everything else looks like it’ll be the same. While that holds true we have learned of some new cast additions to it to complement the returning characters as Hiro Shimono has boarded as Shiho while Koji Yusa will play Gyosei, some important characters in the yokai realm. Check out the character designs below!
Check out our review of the first season.
The first series had Akira Iwanaga directing based on the series composition by Takao Yoshioka. Pierrot Plus produced the animation for it.

Plot concept: Ashiya has spent the first seven days of high school stuck in the infirmary because of a youkai attaching itself to him. He ends up asking the owner of a small tea room called the “Mononokean” for help. This is a tale involving the very morose owner of Mononokean guiding the youkai that happened to wander into this world go to the next world.
