Following the airing of its final episode, a promotional video was revealed confirming a second season for the anime adaptation of the manga written and illustrated by Yuuji Kaku , Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku . No release date was revealed for this sequel.
The first season of the anime adaptation premiered last April on Japanese television, while the Crunchyroll platform was in charge of its distribution in the West. For his part, Kaku began publishing the manga on Shueisha's Shonen Jump Plus service in January 2018 and ended it in January 2021. Therefore, Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku is one of those cases in which a work finished is adapted to anime.
Sinopsis of Jigokuraku
"Gabimaru the Hollow", a ninja from Iwagakure Village known for his cold demeanor, is now on death row. Tired of death and betrayal, he seeks to die. However, neither method of execution seems to work on him due to Gabimaru, although he doesn't admit it, he still has a reason to live. He wants to go back home and see his wife, the reason for his happiness and why his work as a murderer began to hinder him. He therefore refuses to die. Asaemon the enforcer, a famous assassin of criminals, notices this and gives the ninja a proposal. She wants Gabimaru to join an expedition to an island in southern Japan in search of the elixir of life, and in return she will forgive him for all his crimes. However, this island is not a normal place: it is believed to be paradise.
