It has been announced that the second season of the TV anime "Little Citizen Series," based on the novel by Honobu Yonezawa, known for "Hyouka" and other works, will be produced and will begin airing in April 2025. The stories "The Autumn-Limited Chestnut Kinton Incident" and "The Winter-Limited Bonbon Chocolat Incident" will be adapted into anime.

Teppei Uenishi, who plays Urino Takahiko, a first-year student at Funato High School who is a member of the newspaper club and plays an important role in the story; Yume Miyamoto, who plays Nakamaru Tokiko, a classmate who confesses her love to Kobato; and Seiichiro Yamashita, who plays Hiyori Yuto, Urino's classmate and friend, have all commented.

Uenishi commented, "There are many fans of both the original and the anime, so I will do my best to act in the role so as not to disappoint everyone. I am feeling both pressure and excitement about what will happen and what we can create with him being added, while still retaining the atmosphere of the first season. Please join us in watching to see how he will live in the world of "Little Citizen" as a member of the Funato High School newspaper club!"

Miyamoto said, "I am very, very happy to be able to take part in the beloved Koshimin series for so long!!! And there is also information released about the second season. Congratulations! The dialogue between Kobato-kun and Osanai-san is incredibly delicate, and witnessing the atmosphere that seemed as if it would break if they made the slightest movement made me very nervous during the recording of the final episode of the first season. Nakamaru Tokiko is a girl with lots of charm. I hope I can play a role that adds some spice to the series as we move towards the second season. Please look forward to the second season." Yamashita commented, "I think the charm of this film lies in the clever dialogue, and you are naturally drawn in by the witty conversation between Kobato and Osanai. Speaking of naturalness, the cuts are reminiscent of Japanese films, and the refreshing musical expression is wonderful. And yet, you can't take your eyes off the imbalance between the two characters, who exude a somewhat extraordinary, twisted quality. I was stimulated so much on set, and I am proud to have been involved in this film as Hiyaya Yuto. It was a process of trial and error. The unique atmosphere of this film is addictive, and I hope you will take this opportunity to experience it. I look forward to your support!"

This is the story.
