A key visual for Hana-Kimi (Hanazakari no Kimitachi e) Season 2 has been released. Last month saw the reveal of its trailer, theme songs, and July 1 at 24:30 JST (effectively July 2 at 01:30 JST) broadcast start date.
Hana-Kimi is based on the Hakusensha-published manga by the late Hisaya Nakajo. Viz Media describes the synopsis as such:
Japanese-American track-and-field star Mizuki has gotten herself to transfer to a high school in Japan…but not just any school! To be close to her idol, high jumper Izumi Sano, she’s going to an all-guys’ high school…and disguising herself as a boy! But as fate would have it, they’re more than classmates…they’re roommates! Now, Mizuki must keep her secret in the classroom, the locker room, and her own bedroom. And her classmates–and the school nurse–must cope with a new transfer student who may make them question their own orientation…
The Hana-Kimi manga ran in the shojo magazine Hana to Yume from 1996 to 2004 and is collected into 23 tankobon volumes and 12 aizoban volumes. The anime’s first season aired during the Winter 2026 anime season.
The manga has also inspired a Taiwanese live-action series (2006), two Japanese live-action series (2007 and 2011), and a Korean live-action series (2012).
