The unique world of Tokyo's host club scene is officially set to return to the small screen. Fans of the acclaimed four-panel comedy manga adaptation, Everyday Host, are celebrating the confirmation of an anime sequel. This significant announcement was delivered to supporters during a dedicated fan appreciation festival held in Tokyo on November 29, 2025, where the series' voice talent and creative staff gathered to acknowledge the franchise's continued success.
Everyday Host, which skillfully combines slice-of-life comedy with the distinct environment of the nightlife industry, originated as a four-panel manga created by Nimo Gotō. The series initially debuted online in July 2020 across platforms such as Pixiv and Niconico Seiga. It rapidly developed a dedicated readership before concluding its run in October 2022. Its widespread popularity led to its acquisition by Kadakawa Shoten, resulting in the release of five digital volumes under their Asuka Comics DX imprint between September and December 2024.
Production Details of the Original Series
The first television adaptation was produced by Fanworks, with director Rarecho, known for his work on the hit series Aggretsuko, leading the creative team. The short-form series premiered on April 5, 2025, airing on TV Tokyo and BS NTV. This compact format captivated viewers for two consecutive broadcast quarters, delivering a total of 24 episodes throughout the spring and summer of 2025.
The memorable voice cast brought the colorful characters to life, featuring Hiro Shimono as the protagonist Kōichi. The ensemble cast also included Taku Yashiro, Tasuku Hatanaka, Nobuhiko Okamoto, Hidenobu Kiuchi, Yūichirō Umehara, Kōtarō Nishiyama, and Kōhei Amasaki. The infectious theme song, also titled “Everyday Host,” was performed by the EbuHosu Players, a collective composed of the main voice actors.
Anticipation for the Sequel
While the specific format and official premiere date for the continuation have not yet been disclosed, creator Nimo Gotō shared their enthusiasm, expressing anticipation for a “new Everyday Host series.” The sequel announcement immediately prompted playful remarks from the attending cast members during the festival. Kōhei Amasaki jokingly referred to the follow-up as “Everyday Trillion.” Furthermore, Inomata Keiji offered a hint regarding an expanded scope, suggesting the narrative will move beyond the familiar setting of the modest “Club One” near Shinjuku to explore other host establishments and locations.
The series’ enduring appeal centers on its main character, Sekiguchi, an ex-businessman who finds himself immersed in the host world at the unassuming “Club One” following a period of illness. The story expertly balances Sekiguchi’s personal development with high-energy absurdist comedy, featuring an unforgettable group of colleagues. This lineup includes a former idol and a host who embodies the ‘younger brother’ archetype despite possessing over two decades of industry experience. As fans await further production updates, the strong performance of the first season confirms that this unique comedy has firmly established its position within the anime landscape.
