Aharen-san wa Hakarenai, Season 2’s creditless opening and ending animations feature its upbeat and fun OP and ED
With Season 2 of the school-themed rom-com anime Aharen-san wa Hakarenai kicking off yesterday in Japan, it’s not surprising we are already getting the anime’s creditless opening and ending animations.
Those quirky videos were released on the anime’s official YouTube channel on Monday and, of course, feature both the Aharen-san wa Hakarenai, Season 2 opening theme song and ending theme.
Those tracks are Japanese rock band ZUTOMAYO’s ‘Binetsuma‘ as the anime’s OP, and pop singer Shallm’s ‘Twilight‘ for its ED.
And, yep, as you might expect if you loved the first season’s theme songs as much as I did, both songs are catchy and fun.

Although, if I had to pick one, while I think ZUTOMAYO’s ‘Binetsuma‘ is a wonderfully appropriate OP for this light-hearted anime, I would go with the ending theme song, as Shallm’s voice is gorgeous.
Aharen-san wa Hakarenai, Season 2 plot
Along with the Aharen-san wa Hakarenai, Season 2 creditless opening and ending themes, the anime’s YouTube channel also reminded fans about the popularity of the Asato Mizu-written and illustrated manga the anime is based on:
Serialized on “Shonen Jump +” until 2023, total views exceeded 180 million. The total number of published copies sold has also exceeded 1.4 million.
A manga, by the way, that bizarrely has still not received an official English translation. Some day, huh?

Finally, a shout out to the twist in Season 2’s plot as a new character arrived was also mentioned:
Meet Reina Aharen, a petite and quiet girl who struggles a bit with understanding personal boundaries.
Seated next to her is Raido, a boy who always felt there was an invisible distance between them. But one day, when Raido picks up an eraser Aharen drops, their relationship takes a sudden turn—bringing them closer than ever!
As they navigate school life, swinging between “too far” and “too close,” Aharen and Raido eventually start dating.
Now, with the new semester in full swing, a new challenge arises—a transfer student whose boundaries are just as hard to gauge!
Aharen-san wa Hakarenai, Season 2 details
Just like Season 1, the second season of Aharen-san wa Hakerenai is being chief directed by Yasutaka Yamamoto, with Tomoe Makino as director.
Takao Yoshioka is also back in charge of series composition, while Yuuko Yahiro has returned to continue designing those fabulous characters.
Felix Film studios is also back animating the series.
And, if you still haven’t begun watching Aharen-san and aren’t sure if it’s for you (it’s hilarious, by the way), this recap of Episode 1 of the first season of the anime should answer that question for you quickly.
Now, enjoy the Aharen-san wa Hakarenai, Season 2 creditless opening and ending themes.
RELATED: How old is Reina Aharen?
Obsessed with anime and manga. Desperate for time to stop with only me left moving in the world. Then I’d have the time needed to watch the 543 anime DVDs I own, and read the more than 1,000 manga.
