The second season of the Haganai (Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai) school comedy anime will be titled Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai NEXT .

For the second season, the first season's assistant director Toru Kitahata ( Love, Election & Chocolate ) is taking over the proverbial director's chair from Hisashi Saito ( Bamboo Blade , Heaven's Lost Property ). Unlike in the first season, original novelist Yomi Hirasaka will be in charge of the series scripts alongside the first season's Tatsuhiko Urahata. Kurasumi Sunayama ( Monster , Romeo x Juliet ) is also joining the writing staff. Toshihiro Kohama (SaiKano , Listen to Me, Girls. I Am Your Father!, Spice and Wolf) replaces Yuka Hirama as the art director.

The main voice cast from the first season will reprise their roles for the second season. The new season will premiere next January on the TBS and BS-TBS television channels.
