On July 23, 2022, the official TanMoshi Twitter announced that The Detective Is While Dead Season 2 anime TV show has been greenlit for production. Though the studio and length of the new season are unknown, fans are excited to see what new adventures await our cast.
And will we know what happens in volume three of the light novel since the first season spanned the first two books?
We have a teaser trailer!
And it’s full of compelling visuals that could hint at what season 2 will have. Season 1 started with an exciting premise, but many find the story confusing.
Not because of the content but because of the way the story is told as the first half of episodes 1, 2-4, 10, 11 and 12 cover volume 1. Then volume 2 is adapted from the second half of episodes 1, 5-. 9 and parts of 11 and 12.
Six light novel volumes are available in Japan, with the seventh coming out on August 25, 2022. English readers will be able to enjoy volume four on September 20, 2022.
There are two manga adaptations. The first includes volume one of the light novels and has four books so far. English readers can pick up volume three on October 18, 2022.
The second manga adaptation, The Detective Is Already Dead: The Lost Memory, includes volume two of the light novels. Unfortunately, this is only available in Japan.
Hopefully Yen Press can get the rights to it like they did with the first manga and light novels.
What’s happening?
Detective is already dead will have you scratching your head all the time. Who is Siesta and how can she be dead and still come back to life?
Why is Kimizuka a trouble magnet and what happens to everyone?! I love it when anime makes me think long after the episode is over, but 12 episodes isn’t enough time to really enjoy this series.
Our main cast looks so happy in the above picture, but who’s going to break it? New enemy? old enemy? Both?! And what do you think of The Detective Is Already Dead getting a second season?
What was your favorite part of the first season? Leave a comment, come up with some theories and we’ll update you as we get more information.
