The anime Hana-Kimi is set to return this summer. The new trailer confirmed the premiere date of the second season — July 1 — and for the first time, it gave a listen to the new OP/ED (opening and ending songs of the series).

The second season of Hana-Kimi will be released on Crunchyroll simultaneously with the broadcast. The video features the tracks "FLASHBULB" and "Hanataba" (“Bouquet”) performed by the band Omoinotake.

Omoinotake has previously recorded songs for anime, including The Apothecary Diaries and My Hero Academia. Now they are responsible for both themes of the new season of Hana-Kimi.

The original manga by Hisaya Nakajo was published from September 1996 to August 2004 in the magazine Hana to Yume and compiled into 23 volumes. The English-language edition is also published by VIZ Media.

The first season of the anime is already streaming on Crunchyroll, and the continuation is directed by Natsuki Takemura and produced by Signal.MD. The team also includes Shigeru Ueda as assistant director, Takao Yoshioka as series composer, Shi Yi Su as character designer, and Masaru Yokoyama as composer.

The plot centers around Mizuki Ashiya, who disguises herself as a boy and enrolls in a boys' boarding school to meet her idol, high jumper Izumi Sano. However, after successfully infiltrating, she learns that he has suddenly quit sports, and now she must not reveal her identity, maintain the legend, and survive the chaos of the boys' dormitory.
