Based on the light novel series by Carlo Zen (author) and Shinobu Shinotsuki (illustrator), Saga of Tanya the Evil tells the story of a cynical Japanese salaryman who is reincarnated as a ruthless child soldier in an alternate war-torn Europe. Now Tanya Degurechaff, the protagonist must claw her way to survival and power in a militarized magical world while navigating the cruel whims of "Being X," the god-like entity responsible for her rebirth.
The source material has continued to grow, with 14 volumes of the light novel released as of September 2023, and 33 manga volumes scheduled with the next hitting shelves on December 26th, 2025.
The anime originally premiered in 2017, followed by a theatrical film in 2019, and quickly earned a reputation for its grim setting, sharp political commentary, and explosive magical warfare.
Despite the franchise’s popularity, development on Season 2 had been silent since its announcement until today. The new teaser doesn’t reveal much in terms of plot, but the visual confirms the return of Tanya’s signature war glare and grim battlefield aesthetic.
