Takayuki Noguchi is also confirmed to be returning as the character designer, adapting Hanekoto’s original illustrations.

Season 2 is expected to pick up where the first left off, exploring the deepening bond between Mahiru Shiina and Amane Fujimiya. The promotional materials suggest that the new season will further emphasize the heartwarming romance, tender moments, and emotional growth that captivated viewers in Season 1. The anime continues to adapt Saekisan’s light novel series, which is illustrated by Hanekoto.
Recap of the First Season
The first season of The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten aired for 12 episodes from January to March 2023. Crunchyroll streamed the entire first season, making it accessible to a wide audience. The series introduced viewers to Amane Fujimiya, a high school student living alone, and his next-door neighbor Mahiru Shiina, the school’s “angel.” Their unexpected relationship began after Amane offered Mahiru his umbrella on a rainy day, leading to Mahiru taking on the task of spoiling the somewhat unkempt Amane.
