The official Twitter for “The Demon Girl Next Door” announced April 2022 as the release date for the anime’s season 2 with a new teaser visual. The comedy series will air on the TBS channel in Japan.
Based on the manga by Izumo Itō, season 2 was first announced back in August 2020 with a teaser trailer. Staff and cast from season 1 are set to return for the new season with J.C. Staff handling the production.

Synopsis: Yuko Yoshida is just an ordinary schoolgirl — until one day the demon Lilith unleashes her dormant, devilish powers! Yuko transforms into Shadow Mistress Yuko, a supernatural powerhouse with horns and a devil tail. Now she must defeat another mystical being named Momo Chiyoda, the shrine maiden of the Light Clan who just so happens to go to Yuko’s school! But being a demonic magical girl isn’t as easy as it looks, and Yuko has a lot to learn before she’s ready to fulfill her destiny.
