The entertainment world moves fast, and Live-Action Happy Kanako's Killer Life Season 2 Reveals September 17 Debut is the latest development catching everyone's eye. From fans to industry insiders, the reaction has been immediate.
The Story So Far
The DMM TV streaming service disclosed on Friday that the second run of the live-action series of Toshiya Wakabayashi's Happy Kanako's Killer Life (Shiawase Kanako no Koroshiya Seikatsu) manga will launch on DMM TV on September 17. DMM TV also showcased a fresh key visual for the second run. ＼⚡️成分増量で業務再開！⚡️／エナジードリンク系アクションコメディ🍹💥『 幸せカナコの殺し屋生活２』2026年9月17日（木）よりDMM TVにて独占配信決定🔫カナコ（のん）×桜井（藤ヶ谷太輔）最強バディのキービジュアル初解禁🎨#カナコロ #幸せカナコの殺し屋生活 pic.twitter.com/zCAPxtOjQv Non and Taisuke Fujigaya reprise their roles as Kanako and Sakurai, respectively.
Tsutomu Hanabusa (live-action Tokyo Revengers) makes a comeback to direct the second run, and is also penning the scripts alongside Ruriko Matsushima and Yūsuke Aose. The first run of the live-action series made its launch on DMM TV in February 2025. Nishino Kanako sure hates her job, and is only too happy to snag the first fresh gig that comes her way.
She never expected that her interview would be at an agency for contract killers…or that she'd be really, really good at bumping people off! Kanako doesn't have a ton of self-confidence, and adjusting to her fresh life as an assassin isn't the easiest. Will she ever earn the respect of Sakurai, her prickly but kinda hot fresh coworker?
Find out in this dangerously funny, full-color manga! Wakabayashi launched the four-panel web manga on Twitter and his pixivFANBOX account, and Seikaisha has since serialized the manga on its Twi4 service. Seikaisha published the manga's ninth compiled book volume on May 27.
Seven Seas Entertainment dropped the eighth volume on July 28. Wakabayashi's Tsuredure Children manga chronicles a series of short school romance stories in an omnibus format. Wakabayashi launched the manga online in October 2012, and then also began serializing it with fresh material in Weekly Shōnen Magazine in 2015.
The manga ended in July 2018. Kodansha USA Publishing dropped the manga digitally in English. The manga inspired a television anime that made its launch in July 2017.
Crunchyroll streamed the series with English subtitles as it aired, and Funimation streamed an English dub. Sources: DMM TV's X/Twitter account, Comic Natalie
