Dark Gathering Season 2 has revealed its second key visual, offering fans a chilling new look at the supernatural horror anime ahead of its planned 2027 broadcast. The newly released artwork focuses on Kubizuka Daimyojin, a location surrounded by an eerie atmosphere and regarded as one of Kyoto’s most dangerous haunted sites. Thick mist surrounds the location in the visual, setting the tone for another terrifying chapter in the series.
The announcement comes as anticipation continues to build around the anime’s return. Based on Kenichi Kondo’s manga, Dark Gathering follows characters who confront dangerous spirits across Japan while pursuing deeply personal goals. The manga has surpassed 3 million copies in circulation since beginning serialization in Shueisha’s Jump SQ. in 2019.
Dark Gathering Season 2 Sets Its Sights on 2027
The story centers on Keitaro Gentoga, a university student with a spiritual constitution who has been living in seclusion. His life changes after meeting Yayoi Hozuki, a mysterious girl searching for the soul of her deceased mother, who was taken by an evil spirit.
Keitaro and Yayoi are joined by Keitaro’s childhood friend, Eiko Hozuki. The trio forms an alliance as they pursue their respective objectives and become involved in increasingly dangerous battles against spirits throughout Japan. Their recurring catchphrase is “Let’s go! Suto!”
Hiroshi Ikehata is directing Season 2, with Shigeru Murakoshi handling series composition and Yuri Ichinose serving as character designer. OLM is producing the animation, while Yu Sasahara, Nobunaga Shimazaki, Kana Hanazawa, Rina Kawaguchi, and Yoshihiro Nakamura make up the principal voice cast.
Dark Gathering will also receive a dedicated stage event at Jump Studio during Jump Festa 2027. The event will take place on December 19 and 20 at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan, with additional information about the performers and program expected later.
Further updates about Dark Gathering Season 2 will be shared through the anime’s official website and social media channels as the 2027 premiere approaches.
