Animax Asia revealed on Wednesday that it will air the second season of the anime adaptation of Mao Nanami's Real Girl (3D Kanojo) manga starting on May 22 at 8:00 p.m. GMT +8, with new episodes airing every Wednesday.
The second season premiered in Japan on January 8.
The new season featured a returning staff. Takashi Naoya (Touken Ranbu: Hanamaru) directed the anime at Hoods Entertainment (If Her Flag Breaks, Drifters, Märchen Mädchen). Deko Akao (Flying Witch, Noragami, After the Rain) was in charge of series composition. Satomi Kurita (Hina Logic - from Luck & Logic) designed the characters. BiSH performed the opening theme song "Futari nara." The band Fujifabric performed the ending theme song "Hagan" (Broad Smile).
The first season premiered in Japan in April 2018 and aired for 12 episodes. Animax Asia aired the first season last September.
The josei manga follows Hikari "Tsuttsun" Tsutsui, a high school boy who is satisfied with the virtual girls he encounters in anime and games. He does not have many friends and he lives in his own world. One day, when he is stuck on pool cleaning duty, he is approached by Iroha, a "real girl" who is showy and popular with boys.
