The Hilarious AnimeJapan Talk Show: The Angel Next Door Season 2 Details

A very special talk event for the second season of the TV anime The Angel Next Door Turned Me into a No-Good Human was held today, March 29th. This event took place at AnimeJapan 2026, which is currently happening at the Tokyo Big Sight. It was a really lively atmosphere as fans gathered to hear the latest updates directly from the voices behind their favorite characters.

During the event, several main cast members appeared on stage, including Yasuto Saka (who plays Shu Fujimiya), Manaka Iwami (the voice of Mahiru Shiina), Taku Yashiro (playing Itsuki Akazawa), and Haruka Shiraishi (who voices Chitose Shirakawa). The chemistry between the cast was quite evident as they shared their thoughts on what's coming next.

Highlighting the Sweetness in Season 2

When the cast was asked about the highlights for the upcoming second season, everyone agreed on one thing: the pure sweetness between Shu and Mahiru. Yasuto Saka mentioned that the distance between the two characters is definitely shrinking. He even joked that the "sugar content" is going to be even higher than the first season, making it a must watch romance of the season. It wasn't just about the main couple either; Shiraishi revealed that Itsuki and Chitose are also making some serious progress in their own romantic journey.

A Fun Trip Down Memory Lane with Quizzes

The event also featured a fun segment where the cast looked back at the first season through a series of quizzes. Some of the questions and reactions were quite funny:

The First Gift: The first question was about the item Shu gives to Mahiru at the start of the series. One funny option was "Tickets to AnimeJapan," which the cast immediately made fun of.
Birthday Trouble: When asked about Mahiru's birthday, almost everyone started shouting their own character's birthdays instead\! Poor Manaka Iwami had to use the process of elimination to get the right answer.
Iconic Lines: For a scene under cherry blossoms, Iwami correctly remembered Mahiru's exact words: "I've started to like cherry blossoms a little bit," even after Taku Yashiro tried to distract everyone with silly jokes.
Geography Quiz: Yasuto Saka didn't hesitate for a second when asked about the place they visited outside the 47 prefectures, correctly answering "Space."

The "Shu-kun" Counter Surprise

The final question was a real shocker: "How many times did Mahiru say 'Shu-kun' in the first season?" Most of the cast thought 180 times was way too much, but the audience's reaction convinced them to go with that number. A special "Shu-kun counter" video was screened, proving the answer was indeed 180! The cast was laughing and surprised by the sheer repetition. Manaka Iwami said it was her most hilarious experience at AnimeJapan so far.

The Angel Next Door Turned Me into a No-Good Person tells the story of neighbors Shu and Mahiru. The second season, starting April 3rd, focuses on them finally dating. For those looking for wholesome vibes, The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten is definitely going to deliver.
