With the second season of Hozuki’s Coolheadedness having wrapped up its anime TV run and home video releases, fans are left wondering if there’s going to be another season. We learned in March 2019 that the manga from Natsumi Eguchi is going to be getting three more OAD bundled manga releases over the next year. The releases are planned for the 29th, 30th, and 31st volumes of the series due out on September 20th, 2019, March 23rd, 2020, and late 2020 for the final one.
Now, some details on the first one due out on September 20th, 2019 have been revealed. It’s set to include two episodes, the first of which will introduce the Ryūgūjō characters in anime form for the first time in “Enmachō to Ryūgūjō.” The casting was revealed with Mariko Kouda as Toyotama-hime and Shinya Takahashi Shiotsuchi. The second episode is listed as “Jūhachi-ban ga Nai to Tsurai Are.”
Check out some images from the OAD episodes below!
The show is based on the manga of the same name by Natsumi Eguchi which has been running since 2011 in Morning 2 that has resulted in twenty-seven volumes seeing compilation so far.
