MARRIAGETOXIN Season 2 has a main visual and a trailer. The sequel is set to premiere in January 2027, with Studio BONES Film returning for animation and Motonobu Hori back as director. The visual returns to the large bridge where Hikaru Gero saved Mei Kinosaki in the first episode, and the composition is meant to emphasize the chemistry between the two as a duo. Hori said production is progressing smoothly and teased developments for Gero and Kinosaki, including a new potential marriage partner for Gero. The first season ran 13 episodes from April 7 to June 30, 2026. Hori attended Anime Expo 2026 with voice actors Haruki Ishiya, who plays Gero, and Shion Wakayama, who plays Kinosaki, and said the enthusiastic overseas audience surprised him. Kimiko Ueno handles series composition and script, and Kohei Tokuoka is character designer and chief animation director. Crunchyroll streams the anime.
The visual reveal PV doubles as a recap of Gero's journey through Season 1, including his encounters with the Masters. Hori described the adaptation's defining quality as how quickly it shifts between comedy, action, emotional drama and darker material, and said the production uses music to connect scenes and keep a consistent emotional flow. He also said the action was treated seriously to preserve the contrast between Joumyaku's absurd comedy and Mizuki Yoda's polished artwork.
The returning cast includes Anna Nagase as Kyoko Himekawa, Mariya Ise as Shizuku Ushio, Asaki Yuikawa as Shiori Ureshino, Soma Saito as Genya Naruko, Hinano Shirahama as Kimie Arashiyama and Simba Tsuchiya as Piichi Nakagawa. The manga by Joumyaku and Yoda has been serialized on Shonen Jump+ since April 2022, with 18 volumes released in Japan as of June 2026 according to Crunchyroll, and VIZ Media publishes the English edition. Crunchyroll streams Season 1 in India, North America, Europe and Southeast Asia.
Hori previously directed Carole & Tuesday and Metallic Rogue, and Tokuoka worked as chief animation director on SK8 the Infinity and The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity.
