Kore Kaite Shine (Draw This, Then Die!) is set to continue its story, with a second season officially announced immediately following the broadcast of the series' 12th and final episode this Saturday. The production team marked the occasion by releasing a new announcement visual to celebrate the continuation of Ai Yasumi’s journey into the world of professional manga creation.
The series, which adapts Minoru Toyoda’s acclaimed comedy-drama manga, debuted on July 3 and was simulcast globally via Crunchyroll. The production is helmed by Shin-Ei Animation, which captures the story of a high school student from Izu-Oshima who travels to Tokyo in pursuit of her artistic dreams after a life-changing encounter at COMITIA.
While the first season has concluded, the series maintains a solid reception among viewers, currently holding a 78/100 average on AniList and a 79/100 rating on Kitsu as of late September 2026. With the manga continuing to garner recognition—including a win at the 16th Manga Taisho Awards—the upcoming season will likely delve further into the complexities of the industry that Ai is only beginning to navigate.
No premiere window or additional staff details have been shared at this time. Given the success of the first season, which staff members from the original production are you most hoping to see return for the next chapter?
