Crunchyroll will be streaming Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu 2 ~Purezza~, the second season of Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu, based on the light novel series by Yuusaku Igarashi.

Here’s the Crunchyroll blurb:

Picking up where we left off from the first season, we’ll be able to follow Yūto and Haruka through more adventures together! This fan-favorite will launch every Monday at 1 pm PST.

For those who have never seen this show or know what its about, here’s the breakdown:
Yūto Ayase attends Hakujō Academy, a private high school in Japan. His classmate, Haruka Nogizaka, is not only very attractive, but is intelligent and rich, garnering her the title as the school’s idol. However, one day when Yūto’s friend asks him to return a book to the library, he unexpectedly stumbles across Haruka and her deepest, darkest secret—she is an otaku!!

Promising to keep her secret hidden, Yūto and Haruka become close friends, helping Haruka with her secret hobby and developing their relationship together. Season two of NOGIZAKA HARUKA NO HIMITSU 2 ~PUREZZA~ picks up where we left off in the first season, making for a romantic-comedy adventure that everyone is sure to enjoy!

* Due to licensing restrictions, NOGIZAKA HARUKA NO HIMITSU 2 ~PUREZZA~ will be available in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand.

No word yet on whether they also have the license for the first season.

I also somehow forgot to mention that Crunchyroll has seasons 1 & 2 of Asura Cryin’ last time (I know, I’m missing a lot). There are just so many light novel adaptations these days! Anyway, it’s based on the light novel series by Gakuto Mikumo.

Here’s the schedule:

Asura Cryin’ Season 1 – All episodes will be available to Premium Members on Wednesday, 9/30 at 7pm PST. Non-members will have access to episodes 1-7 on Wednesday, 9/30 at 7pm PST while episodes 8-13 will be available on Wednesday, 10/7 at 7pm PST.

Asura Cryin’ Season 2 – simulcasts Wednesdays, 7pm PST (starting 9/30 tomorrow!)

Here’s a brief synopsis:

Protagonist Tomoharu Natsume is a high school student living by himself. At first glance, he seems to be a normal high school student. However, unlike others, he has a ghost friend Misao Minakami that only he can see. On the day he moved, he was entrusted with a silver trunk by a mysterious woman. That night, he was attacked by a shrine maiden. Tomoharu was about to face the hidden truth of the world.

Enjoy the show!

*This is available in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland. Sorry to those who live elsewhere.
