The official website of the anime adaptation of Naoshi Komi’s Nisekoi manga has revealed a brand new visual for the second season of the Nisekoi anime. The new visual itself features the main female characters of the upcoming anime, including wait… is that another Onodera? It is actually Haru Onodera, Kosaki Onodera’s younger sister who will be making her first appearance in the second season.
The site has also revealed the title of the anime’s second season. The upcoming series will actually be titled Nisekoi:. That is all, just the extra colon. It might be a tad confusing so we will continue with using the title of Nisekoi Season 2 as per usual.
Two new cast members have been revealed who will be making their first appearance in the second season:
- Kotori Koiwai (Renge Miyauchi in Non Non Biyori) will voice Fuu
- Ayane Sakura (Natsumi Koshigaya from Non Non Biyori) will be voicing Haru Onodera

Nisekoi is a manga series that originally started off as a one shot by Naoshi Komi that released in January 2011. Komi then released the manga as a full series later on in the year, when it appeared in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump. Since 2011, 14 volumes have been released for the romantic comedy. Additionally a voiced comic has also been published and a light novel series. Viz Manga has also picked up the series late 2013 for English localisation, announcing that the chapters would be translated and released in Viz’s Weekly Shonen Jump Alpha. A anime adaptation of the manga aired from January this year, and ended in May for a total of 20 episodes. The anime is produced by studio Shaft (Bakemonogatari, Mahou Shoujo Madoka☆Magica). A PlayStation Vita game based on the series is currently in development. A second season of Nisekoi was announced to be in production and the first visual released.
Here is a plot synopsis of Nisekoi from MAL:

Though Raku’s a normal high schooler, his family heads the notorious yakuza gang the Shuei-Gumi faction! And he’s dragged into family affairs when he’s forced into a relationship with Chitoge, the daughter of a rival gang’s boss!
The second season of the Nisekoi anime will be airing from April 10 on Tokyo MX at 11:30pm JST, during the Spring 2015 anime season. Further information about the series will be revealed in the upcoming weeks.
