The newly announced performers step into the roles of Kanako's quirky fellow contract killers:

Returning Talent and Creative Team
Lead actress Non and co-star Taisuke Fujigaya reprise their respective roles as the chronically stressed yet lethally gifted protagonist Kanako Nishino and her stern colleague Sakurai. Director Tsutomu Hanabusa (Tokyo Revengers live-action films) returns to helm the sophomore season, handling scriptwriting duties alongside Ruriko Matsushima and Yūsuke Aose.
The live-action series originally debuted on DMM TV in February 2025. Wakabayashi first launched the four-panel comic strip across personal social channels before moving to Seikaisha's Twi4 platform, earning international recognition following his previous hit omnibus romance manga, Tsuredure Children.
