The Continued Journey of Ko and Nazuna
Based on Kotoyama’s popular manga series, Call of the Night follows the insomniac middle schooler Ko Yamori, who, disillusioned with his mundane life, begins exploring the city at night. His nocturnal wanderings lead him to Nazuna Nanakusa, a free-spirited vampire who introduces him to the allure and freedom of the night. Ko’s desire to become a vampire himself hinges on a crucial condition: he must fall in love with Nazuna.
Season 2 continues this compelling narrative, further exploring Ko’s journey into the supernatural world and his deepening relationship with Nazuna. The series is celebrated for its distinctive animation style, atmospheric nighttime visuals, and its unique take on the vampire genre. With the introduction of new characters and the promise of unlocking more of Nazuna’s past, particularly with the “Cigarette Case Arc” being teased, the second season builds upon the success of its debut.
The first season, produced by Liden Films and directed by Tomoyuki Itamura, aired from July to September 2022 and consisted of 13 episodes. The second season, which also sees Tomoyuki Itamura return as director, is scheduled for 12 episodes.
The Manga’s Conclusion and New Developments
The original Call of the Night manga, written and illustrated by Kotoyama, concluded its serialization in Weekly Shōnen Sunday in January 2024, accumulating 20 volumes.

As Call of the Night Season 2 progresses, fans can anticipate more late-night adventures, emotional revelations, and the continued exploration of what it truly means to live and find purpose, whether in the light of day or the embrace of the night.
