The TV anime adaptation of the popular manga series "Ramen Akaneko" (original title: "Red Cat Ramen") is getting a second season. Titled "Ramen Akaneko Sono Ni," it is set to premiere on Japanese television in January 2027. The production team announced this on June 20, 2026, simultaneously releasing a teaser visual and a teaser PV.
The teaser visual shows the shop owner Bunzo holding a ramen bowl in his paws, while behind him, the newcomer Jewel is seen in a typical host pose. The teaser PV features the familiar cats of the ramen shop greeting customers and ends with Jewel's first appearance: "Jewel desu!! Yoroshiku onegai shasu!"
With Jewel, the series gains another colorful character. She is a gray long-haired cat working in the service area. Her big dream: to establish her own host club for cats and become number one. Jewel is voiced by Tasuku Hatanaka, who takes on his first leading role in this series. Hatanaka expressed his excitement about the role: "While playing, I felt that Jewel's seriousness also drives me forward."
The existing cast returns in full: Kenjiro Tsuda as Bunzo, Noriaki Sugiyama as Sasaki, Michiyo Murase as Sabu, Rie Kugimiya as Hana, Saori Hayami as Krishna, and Kurumi Orihara as Tamako Yashiro. The behind-the-scenes team also remains largely the same: Hisatoshi Shimizu returns as director, Shigeru Murakoshi handles series composition and script, and Michinori Chiba is in charge of character design and chief animation direction. Animation is once again produced by E&H Production.
The first season of "Ramen Akaneko" aired from July to September 2024, spanning twelve episodes. It won the hearts of many viewers with its heartwarming story about a human employee named Tamako who works at a ramen shop run by cats. In December 2024, the production of a second season was already announced at Jump Festa.
Alongside the announcement of the second season, a collaboration with the sushi restaurant chain Hamazushi was revealed. Starting June 23, 2026, ordering the "Hamakko Set" will include five different bicycle keychains designed after the series as a gacha bonus. Additionally, Jewel will be playable in the official game "Ramen Akaneko: Nyante na Sushina Ramen-ten" from the end of November 2026.
