GONZO, which made the first season, is returning but will now be joined by animation studio Makaria. This is the same studio that worked on Dropkick on My Devil Apocalypse Day. The writing will again be handled by Tomoko Konparu.
However, the biggest change is in the director¡¯s chair. Joe Yoshizaki, known for his work on The Brilliant Healer¡¯s New Life in the Shadows, will take over as director. He replaces Yoshiko Okuda, who directed the first season.
In a message to fans, Yoshizaki said, ¡°Seven years have passed. The team is new. The seasons have changed. I will try my best to create something that truly fits the hearts of these characters. I hope this new version of the hidden world feels like both a dream and reality.¡±
Kakuriyo Bed and Breakfast for Spirits season 1 recap
Kakuriyo: Bed and Breakfast for Spirits¡¯ first season aired in 2018 and ran for 26 episodes. It begins with Aoi Tsubaki, a kind-hearted college girl who can see spirits. After her grandfather passes away, Aoi learns that he left behind a massive debt to the spirit world. To her surprise, she is taken to the Hidden Realm as payment for that debt.
There, she meets Odanna, a powerful ogre and the master of a traditional inn called Tenjin-ya. Odanna tells Aoi that her grandfather promised her hand in marriage to repay the debt. But Aoi refuses to marry anyone just like that. Instead, she offers to work at the inn and clear the debt on her own. As she takes up a job cooking for spirits, Aoi slowly wins over the guests and staff of Tenjin-ya with her food and kindness. Along the way, she discovers more about her grandfather¡¯s past, the spirit world¡¯s rules, and her own strength. Her bond with Odanna also starts to grow into something more.
Season 1 blends food, magic, quiet romance, and a lot of heartwarming moments. It ends with Aoi earning the respect of the spirit world and finding a place for herself in a world she never knew existed.
The anime is based on the light novel series written by Midori Yuma and illustrated by Laruha. It blends romance, fantasy, and food in a calm and magical setting.
