Anime fans, get ready! SHOSHIMIN: How to Become Ordinary is making a comeback with Season 2, premiering on April 5, 2025. This highly anticipated continuation promises even more mystery, suspense, and the ongoing struggle of two teenagers trying (and failing) to live an “ordinary” life.
With a brand-new trailer and key visual released, we now have a glimpse of what’s in store for our favorite duo, Jōgorō Kobato and Yuki Osanai. But will their pursuit of a peaceful, uneventful life finally succeed? (Spoiler: Probably not!)
Let’s dive into everything you need to know about SHOSHIMIN: How to Become Ordinary Season 2 and why this anime should be on your 2025 watchlist.
If you’re new to the series, here’s a quick refresher:
Set in a world where high school is already a chaotic mess, Jōgorō Kobato and Yuki Osanai just want a quiet, drama-free life. They make a pact to stay out of trouble, avoid conflicts, and embrace the beauty of being “ordinary.”
Unfortunately, fate has other plans. No matter how much they try to keep things simple, they constantly find themselves entangled in mysteries, misunderstandings, and unexpected situations. Season 1 left us with unresolved questions, and now, Season 2 is ready to throw even more curveballs their way!
The upcoming season will cover two major story arcs:
“Shūki Gentei Kuri Kinton Jiken” (The Seasonal Limited Chestnut Kinton Incident)
“Tōki Gentei Bonbon Chocolat Jiken” (The Winter Limited Bonbon Chocolat Incident)
Both arcs promise to deliver more of what makes SHOSHIMIN special: a blend of lighthearted high school life, complex mysteries, and unexpected twists.
The newly released Season 2 trailer showcases the return of our main duo, along with glimpses of the new characters and the intriguing cases they’ll be caught up in.
In addition to our beloved protagonists, Season 2 will introduce some new faces:
Takahiko Urino (VA: Teppei Uenishi) – A first-year student at Funato High and a journalism club member. He takes a special interest in Osanai, making things a little more complicated for Kobato.
Tokiko Nakamura (VA: Yume Miyamoto) – One of Kobato’s classmates who, surprisingly, confesses her feelings for him. How will this affect his dynamic with Osanai?
Yūto Hiyori (VA: Seiichiro Yamashita) – A quiet but perceptive student who keeps an eye on the unfolding mysteries around him.
Expect plenty of awkward encounters, humorous interactions, and intense deductions as these new characters shake things up!
Season 2 is in good hands, with the same talented team returning to bring the world of SHOSHIMIN to life:
Studio: Lapin Track
Director: Mamoru Kanbe (The Promised Neverland)
Series Composition & Script: Toshiya Ono (Gatchaman Crowds, Land of the Lustrous)
Character Design: Atsushi Saito (Hyouka, Fruits Basket 2019)
Music: Takahiro Obata (The Promised Neverland, Shadows House)
With such a strong creative team, fans can expect top-notch storytelling, visually stunning animation, and a soundtrack that perfectly complements the anime’s mysterious and introspective tone.
