GONZO, which made the first season, is returning but will now be joined by animation studio Makaria. This is the same studio that worked on Dropkick on My Devil Apocalypse Day. The writing will again be handled by Tomoko Konparu.
However, the biggest change is in the director's chair. Joe Yoshizaki, known for his work on The Brilliant Healer's New Life in the Shadows, will take over as director. He replaces Yoshiko Okuda, who directed the first season.
In a message to fans, Yoshizaki said, 'Seven years have passed. The team is new. The seasons have changed. I will try my best to create something that truly fits the hearts of these characters. I hope this new version of the hidden world feels like both a dream and reality.'
Kakuriyo Bed and Breakfast for Spirits season 1 recap
Kakuriyo: Bed and Breakfast for Spirits' first season aired in 2018 and ran for 26 episodes. It begins with Aoi Tsubaki, a kind-hearted college girl who can see spirits. After her grandfather passes away, Aoi learns that he left behind a massive debt to the spirit world. To her surprise, she is taken to the Hidden Realm as payment for that debt.
There, she meets Odanna, a powerful ogre and the master of a traditional inn called Tenjin-ya. Odanna tells Aoi that her grandfather promised her hand in marriage to repay the debt. But Aoi refuses to marry anyone just like that. Instead, she offers to work at the inn and clear the debt on her own. As she takes up a job cooking for spirits, Aoi slowly wins over the guests and staff of Tenjin-ya with her food and kindness. Along the way, she discovers more about her grandfather's past, the spirit world's rules, and her own strength. Her bond with Odanna also starts to grow into something more.
Season 1 blends food, magic, quiet romance, and a lot of heartwarming moments. It ends with Aoi earning the respect of the spirit world and finding a place for herself in a world she never knew existed.
The anime is based on the light novel series written by Midori Yuma and illustrated by Laruha. It blends romance, fantasy, and food in a calm and magical setting.

Ju Haknyeon, a member of the K-pop group THE BOYZ, has broken his silence on the reports that claimed that he stepped down from the group and his agency, One Hundred Label, because of his involvement in a sex working scandal. Taking to his Instagram Stories, the star denied the reports and apologised to fans who have been 'greatly shocked by the news'. (Also read: Ju Haknyeon exits THE BOYZ after controversial 'meeting with Japanese porn star') Ju Haknyeon posted a handwritten letter on Instagram Stories, which read as follows: 'Hello. This is Ju Haknyeon. First, I apologise to the fans who must have been greatly shocked by the news about me, as well as everyone whom I gave cause for concern through this unsavoury matter.' He went on to add, 'In the wee hours of the morning of May 30, 2025, I did attend a private gathering with alcohol together with an acquaintance, and while it is true that I was at that gathering, it is completely false that I engaged in any illegal activity, such as the sex work that is being mentioned in news reports and rumors. I am deeply reflecting on my actions, and I would like to sincerely apologise to everyone who has been shocked and disappointed.' It all started when Korean media outlet News1, as cited by Koreaboo, stated that Ju Haknyeon was seen meeting former Japanese adult film actor Kirara Asuka at a bar in Roppongi, Tokyo, on May 29. A day ago, an official statement agency confirmed that Ju Haknyeon will be leaving both THE BOYZ and the agency. The statement said, 'Hello, this is One Hundred. We recently took action to suspend Ju Haknyeon's activities as soon as we were informed that he was involved in a controversial incident in order to take time to thoroughly investigate and verify the facts.' The Boyz will now be a 10-member group including Sangyeon (the leader), Jacob, Younghoon, Hyunjae, Juyeon, Kevin, New, Q, Sunwoo, and Eric.

Ex-THE BOYZ member Ju Haknyeon reported to police for prostitution after bar encounter with former adult star Kirara Asuka
Ju Haknyeon has faced a swift and dramatic fall from grace in recent days. Following public backlash over his meeting with former adult star Asuka Kirara in Tokyo, the idol was placed on hiatus and subsequently removed from his group, THE BOYZ. Now, the controversy has escalated further with a formal police complaint filed against him. In an official complaint submitted to Seoul's Gangnam Police Station on June 19, 2025, a netizen accused the celebrity of breaking Article 4 of the South Korean Act on the Punishment of Arranging Sexual Traffic, which forbids both participating in and aiding prostitutes. Controversial photos sparked speculation The accusations surfaced after pictures of Ju Haknyeon and Kirara Asuka, a former Japanese AV (adult video) star, were posted online. Online rumours that the idol might have engaged in illicit activities while in Japan were swiftly sparked by the pictures. Ju Haknyeon offers handwritten apology Amid the public backlash, Ju Haknyeon issued a handwritten letter on June 19 via his personal social media. He acknowledged being present at a late-night gathering on May 30, where former AV actress Kirara Asuka was also in attendance. However, he firmly denied any involvement in criminal activity. "It is true that I was at the gathering," he wrote, "but I did not engage in prostitution or commit any illegal acts, contrary to what has been speculated online." Police complaint against Ju Haknyeon The individual behind the complaint called on authorities to widen their investigation, arguing that Ju Haknyeon's case could be part of a larger pattern within the entertainment industry. Referring to media coverage, they highlighted claims that a producer associated with Ju had also been suspended amid similar suspicions. "This does not appear to be an isolated incident," the complainant noted, urging police to look into potential industry-level involvement in solicitation and broader complicity. Prostitution a serious offense in South Korea This complaint could be taken seriously as under South Korean law, prostitution is strictly prohibited and classified as a sexual offense. All eyes will on the investigation when launched and what that could mean for Ju Haknyeon's career as an Idol. This could also potentially expose many other K-pop artists in the industry.
