The official website for the Magilumiere Magical Girls Inc. anime has confirmed that cast member Yumiri Hanamori will step down from her role. She previously played Hitomi Koshigaya.
The website states that the decision is due to multiple discussions with Hanamori’s agency “tomorrow jam,” who asked for the change. The reason for the request is currently unknown. Magilumiere Magical Girls is the TV anime adaptation of Sekka Iwata and Yu Aoki’s Magilumiere Co. Ltd. manga series. Season 2 will release in July 2026 and will air on NTV.
Riki Fukushima directs the second season at J.C.STAFF. Michiko Yokote is the new script supervisor, Masahiro Fujii returns as chief animation director, and Makoto Miyazaki is the anime’s composer once more.
Iwata and Aoki initially began the Magilumiere Co. Ltd. manga series in 2021. Shueisha publishes the series, with digital distribution on Manga Plus and Shonen Jump+. Lastly, the series is available to read in North America via VIZ Media, who describes it as follows:
