Utena’s villainous alter ego is coming back. The second season of the TV anime Gushing over Magical Girls (Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete, or “Mahoako”) will air in 2027, the official anime site announced on November 14, 2026.
The timing was fittingly revealed on the birthday of Magia Baiser, the series’ sadistic villain and leader of the evil organization Enormita. A special “HB” video premiered on YouTube, in which Magia Baiser herself “exposes” the broadcast window as a surprise. Alongside it, the production released a new ultra teaser visual of Magia Baiser with the line, roughly, “Sorry to keep you all waiting…”
The official site also notes that, like the first season, Season 2 is being produced in three versions. A specific premiere date, broadcasters and streaming platforms have not been announced yet.
Returning main cast
The eight main cast members all sent comments celebrating the Season 2 news:
- Fuka Izumi as Magia Baiser
- Aoi Koga as Leopard
- Shiori Sugiura as Nero Alice
- Yuka Aisaka as Loco Musica
- Minami Tsuda as Rubel Blume
- Kaori Maeda as Magia Magenta
- Mayuko Kazama as Magia Azul
- Misaki Ikeda as Magia Sulfur
To mark the visual’s debut, a campaign in Japan is giving away three B2 posters of the ultra teaser visual signed by all eight cast members, running through November 30.
About the series
Gushing over Magical Girls is based on Akihiro Ononaka’s manga published by Takeshobo, which has passed 3 million copies in circulation worldwide, including digital. It follows Utena Hiiragi, a shy girl who idolizes magical girls but is instead turned into an evil organization’s villainess, where she discovers a sadistic streak while battling the heroines of Tres Magia. The adult-leaning comedy’s first season aired in January 2024, and the sequel was first announced in October 2024. Season 1 has been rerunning on TOKYO MX since October 2026 ahead of the new season.
