Sasaki and Peeps Anime Announces Season 2Peep peep! If you’re already missing Sasaki and Peeps, no need to fear. A second season of the anime starring corporate burnout Sasaki and his magical bird Peeps is on the way. That’s the news from this weekend’s AnimeJapan.

To celebrate, Kantoku, the illustrator of the original S&P novels, drew a new illustration. There’s also a teaser trailer for the new season available.

The first season of Sasaki and Peeps ran from January to March of this year and was directed by Mirai Minato over at Silver Link. It stars Tomokazu Sugita as Sasaki and Aoi Yuki as Peeps.

Here’s how Yen Press describes the original novels:

Even though Sasaki’s droll corporate life is constantly filled with work, it leaves him tired and unfulfilled at the end of every day. In search of some companionship to fill the emptiness in his life, he visits a pet shop on a whim, not realizing he’s about to change his life forever. After settling on an adorable bird and bringing it home…his new roommate reveals that it’s actually an incredible sage from another world who promptly bestows Sasaki with supernatural powers as well as the ability to cross between worlds. All Sasaki wants to do is use these newfound powers to live in peace and comfort, but there are more than a few colorful characters who might get in the way of that…
