Hanaori-san Still Wants to Fight in the Next Life Gets 2nd Promotional Video and Theme Songs
The second promotional video for the Hanaori-san Still Wants to Fight in the Next Life anime adaptation has been released. Announced by Anime News Network as of June 24, 2026, the footage reveals the series' theme songs and a new voice actor for a character.
The promotional video confirmed that the ending theme song will be performed by Maaya Uchida. Additionally, Uchida will also voice the character Meru Tsumugina in the anime. The involvement of the experienced voice actor, who has previously worked on productions such as Urusei Yatsura and Kaguya-sama: Love is War, has excited fans.
Hanaori-san Still Wants to Fight in the Next Life is adapted from the manga of the same name written and illustrated by Mikami Teren. The series began in Dengeki Daioh magazine in 2021 and has reached 7 volumes as of 2026. The story follows the adventures of Hanaori-san, who is reborn with a warrior spirit and is determined to fight in this life as well. Thanks to its original concept and striking art, the manga quickly gained popularity, and an anime adaptation was announced last year.
Although the animation studio has not been officially announced yet, industry sources indicate that the project has been taken on by an experienced studio. The first promotional video was released a few months ago and drew attention with its character designs. The second video includes more action scenes and also shares a short clip of the opening theme song. Who will perform the opening song remains undisclosed.
There is no official announcement about the anime's release date, but the release of the second promotional video indicates that production is progressing rapidly. Fans expect more details (streaming platform, exact release date, additional cast) to be announced in the coming months. The role of Meru Tsumugina in the story is also a topic of curiosity; in the original manga, Meru was introduced as a mysterious enemy who crosses paths with Hanaori-san.
With this development, the Hanaori-san Still Wants to Fight in the Next Life anime project is on its way to becoming one of the most notable adaptations of 2026. The addition of a name like Maaya Uchida to the project raises expectations in terms of both music and voice acting quality. Stay tuned for upcoming new trailers and visuals!
