A 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, at ``AnimeJapan 2026'' being held at Tokyo Big Sight.

At the event, Yasuto Saka, who plays Shu Fujimiya, Manaka Iwami, who plays Mahiru Shiina, Taku Yashiro, who plays Itsuki Akazawa, and Haruka Shiraishi, who plays Chitose Shirakawa, appeared on stage. When asked about the highlight of the second season, the cast members all mentioned the sweetness between Shu and Mahiru. Saka emphasized the growing distance between the two, saying, ``The sugar content is even higher compared to the first season.'' Shiraishi revealed that not only Shu and Mahiru, but also Itsuki and Chitose are making progress in their romance.

From here on, it's a corner where you can look back on the first season with quizzes. For the first question, ``At the beginning of the first episode, the story begins by giving something to Mahiru, but what is that item?'' One of the answer options was ``Tickets to ``AnimeJapan,'' and the cast members criticized it. When asked the second question, ``Which day is Mahiru's birthday?'', apart from Iwami, the other cast members started saying their own characters' birthdays. As a result, Iwami ended up answering using the remaining options using the process of elimination, but he was able to get the correct answer.

The third question, ``What is Mahiru's line in this scene (the scene where Shu and Mahiru are walking under the row of cherry blossom trees)?'' begins with Yashiro blurting out, ``The last train has run out,'' and then Ogiri develops. However, Iwami was not swayed by this, and answered word for word, ``I've started to like cherry blossoms a little bit,'' and was absolutely correct. To the fourth question, ``Out of the 47 prefectures, the only place you went outside of the 47 prefectures was the Aurora, and what was the other one?'' Without hesitation, Saka answered ``Space,'' which was also easily the correct answer.

The final question is, ``How many times did Mahiru say ``Shou-kun'' in the first season?'' Among the choices ``62 times,'' ``104 times,'' ``141 times,'' and ``180 times,'' Saka assumes that ``180 times'' is unlikely. However, believing in the audience's reaction, he decided to compete ``180 times''. When the MC urges people to announce their correct answers, the screening of the ``Chou-kun'' counter video suddenly begins. While the cast members couldn't stop crying out in surprise at the unusual number of times they said "Chou-kun," it was revealed that the correct answer was "180 times." When the video ended, Iwami smiled and said, ``I laughed the most out of all the AJ episodes!''

"The Angel Next Door Turned Me into a No-Good Person" is a love story between Shu and Mahiru, who live next door to each other in an apartment. The second season, which will start airing on April 3rd, will depict the love story of the two who decide to date.
