The manga titled “Undead Unluck” concluded in January 2025, wrapping up a long-running story that had captivated readers for years. The finale of this series elicited positive responses from most fans, who were disappointed only by the fact that no new content would be produced for the series moving forward.

Readers are gradually adapting to the lack of Undead Unluck, but brace yourselves for an exciting twist! The 27th manga volume is set to feature a brand new story, illustrated especially for us. As of now, specifics about the extra content remain undisclosed, but rest assured, you’ll uncover it all once volumes 26 and 27 hit shelves in April 2025.

Undead Unluck Hasn’t Made An Announcement About Its Second Season

Although there’s no news about a second season for Undead Unluck, a one-hour special is set to air in the second half of 2025. The original voice actors are likely to return for this upcoming special episode.

  • Moe Kahara as Fuuko Izumo
  • Yuichi Nakamura as Andy
  • Mariya Ise as Juiz d’Arc
  • Natsuki Hanae as Shen Xiang
  • Rie Kugimiya as Tatiana

It’s expected that the team will stay consistent. Therefore, Yuki Yase is set to take up directorial duties again for the special episode, and Hideyuki Morioka will once more be responsible for character design. Kenichiro Suehiro, on the other hand, will provide the music for this endeavor.

As a dedicated fan of Undead Unluck, I’m keeping my fingers crossed that we might get some news about the next season coming up towards the closing stages of this special event. Of course, it’s all speculation at this point, but considering how things usually roll, it seems quite likely.

Undead Unluck Got Better With Time

The manga “Undead Unluck” began serialization in January 2020 within the pages of Weekly Shonen Jump. A year before the manga’s debut, creator Yoshifumi Tozuka released a one-shot that likely contributed significantly to its inclusion in the lineup. As per a report from 2022, “Undead Unluck” has sold more than 1.8 million copies, with this number being before the anime’s release. The anime adaptation for “Undead Unluck” was announced in 2022 and was split into cours, but they were aired consecutively. Following its success, it was confirmed that a one-hour sequel would air during Q4 of 2025.

Initially, Undead Unluck showed promise, but some readers felt the initial portions were unpolished, which impacted its overall quality negatively. However, Yoshifumi Tozuka rectified these issues and improved it significantly. The anime adaptation was exceptional, and if properly marketed, it could have rivaled the popularity of shows like Dandadan and other contemporary series. Unfortunately, a lack of marketing prevented it from achieving widespread success.

Undead Unluck is available to stream on Hulu.
