Fans can rest easy knowing that more heartfelt and hilarious moments are on the way. So far, all important details about the upcoming sequel are available to the audience.
A Quick Recap of the First Season
Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines appeared as a romantic comedy anime adaptation of the stories written by Takibi Amamori and illustrated by Imigimuru. The initial Japanese release of the light novel happened on July 21, 2021, and has accumulated seven Japanese editions (English versions are up to six) since it started. The anime adaptation of Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines received its production at A-1 Pictures, which operates from a strong reputation based on their series Solo Leveling, Eighty-Six, Lycoris Recoil, and several other high-quality works.
The first season of the anime features an unassuming high school student, Kazuhiko Nukumizu, who finds himself entangled in the emotional aftermath of several rejections.. Nukumizu observes how Anna Yanami, the heroine of the story, receives a romantic rejection from her first love interest. The narrative moves to various female students who suffer rejections, starting with Lemon Yakishio and ending with Chika Komari.
Nukumizu shifts from being an observer to encouraging his friends. As a supportive friend, Nukumizu offers emotional consolation to “losing heroines” needs, helping them find their smile again. As he continues giving support to cry on, the question emerges whether any of these friendships can develop beyond emotional intimacy.
What We Know About Makeine Season 2
During the Akishima fan-favorite event, the announcement came out for the second season of Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines! Aniplex unveiled an official trailer on their YouTube channel without specifying the launch schedule for Season 2 of Makeine.
The promotional video from season 2 showcased prominent emotional and comic scenes that featured Anna Yanami along with Lemon Yakishio and Chika Komari as the important losing heroines. It also briefly contrasted them with the “winning girls,” adding to the show’s unique theme of rooting for the underdog in love.
Season 2 officially begins production, and the finale trailer is proudly announced to viewers. Fan excitement grows as viewers are enthusiastic about watching Nukumizu and the girls narrate their upcoming storyline.
Returning Cast and Crew
The upcoming season 2 of Super Shiro proves to be exciting because most members of the original voice cast are expected to return. This includes:
Hikaru Tono returned as Ana Yanami(notably the voice of Kaneishi in the SSSS.Dynazenon series).

- Momoka Terasawa as Chika Komari (making her first role in the anime).
- Shuuichirou Umeda as Kazuhiko Nukumizu ( also voiced Kobato in SHOSHIMIN).
Season one’s success was greatly supported by the original team, who worked their magic in the production. The director, together with the episode director and storyboard creator role was responsible for Shoutarou Kitamura, who previously worked on Kaguya-sama: Love is War. Tetsuya Kawakami from Eighty-Six provided character design services within the production, and Kana Utatane from Mieruko-chan fame composed all of the music. Fans anticipate that the upcoming season two staff will remain consistent with their creative team from season one to deliver predictable storytelling and animation quality.
What to Expect in Season 2?
Season two will expand on the emotional attachments between Nukumizu and his lost heroine companions. Viewers during season one wondered whether the losing heroines had a chance to capture the protagonist’s heart. Will Nukumizu himself begin to question his role as just a supportive friend?
