The second season of Shadows House premiered on July 9 of this year, with CloverWorks animating it. ClariS is in charge of the ending song “Masquerade”, while ReoNa will perform the opening theme “Shall We Dance?” The first season of the anime was also animated by CloverWorks, and aired from April 11 to July 4, 2021.
The series is based on Somato’s manga of the same name, which began serialization in Shueisha’s Weekly Young Jump on September 6, 2018. Yen Press has licensed the manga in English and released the first volume on June 21:
Shadows House-a strange mansion that receives no callers, inhabited by a race of faceless shadows who play at being aristocrats and are waited on hand and foot by “living dolls,” who also serve as their masters’ faces. What goes on inside this enigmatic manor is anyone’s guess, but soot and shrieks billow up from within…
