Marriage Toxin Anime Gets a Second Season in January 2027

A second season lands in January 2027

Marriage Toxin is getting a second television anime season, scheduled to premiere in January 2027. The news arrived on June 30, 2026, immediately after the first season's finale aired in Japan, and was reported by Crunchyroll News and Anime News Network. The action comedy follows poison-clan heir Hikaru Gero and brilliant marriage swindler Mei Kinosaki as they team up for the most dangerous bridal hunt imaginable.

What was announced

The reveal confirmed a January 2027 broadcast window and was accompanied by celebratory comments from original creator Joumyaku and manga artist Mizuki Yoda. According to the announcement, the new season brings in fresh faces, described as charming and unpredictable characters who run rampant through the story. Joumyaku said he was beyond grateful for the support that carried the series to a second season. Beyond the January 2027 window, no exact premiere date has been announced.

Where season one left off

The first season ran for 13 episodes, airing from April 7 to June 30, 2026 on the Ka-Anival programming block on Kansai TV, Fuji TV and their affiliates, with Crunchyroll streaming the series worldwide. Across those episodes it adapted the manga's Water Master, Sound Master and Beast Master arcs. Bones Film handled the animation, with Motonobu Hori directing, Kimiko Ueno overseeing series composition and scripts, Kohei Tokuoka serving as character designer and chief animation director, and Taisei Iwasaki and Yuma Yamaguchi composing the music. Haruki Ishiya voices Hikaru Gero, while Shion Wakayama plays Mei Kinosaki. The series leaned throughout into the blend of shonen action and unexpectedly heartfelt romance that defines its premise.

Background

Marriage Toxin began as a manga written by Joumyaku and illustrated by Mizuki Yoda, serialized in Shueisha's Shonen Jump+ since 2022. The series had reached 17 volumes as of April 2026, and Manga Plus and Viz Media publish it in English. Anime.com files the anime under action and comedy, and that mix is the engine of the show. Its story turns a high-stakes underworld setup into a comedy: when Hikaru's family demands an heir to preserve the bloodline, he enlists a con artist who specializes in marriage fraud to help him find a bride, and the two keep colliding with rival assassins along the way. With the cast and creative team carrying real momentum out of the finale, the January 2027 return gives the partnership a second run at its impossible goal.
