### Synopsis
The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten anime has launched a so-called Princess Project line of visuals.

Everything changes‚ however‚ when he happens to see Mahiru sitting alone in a park during a rainstorm. Thus begins the strange relationship between this incredibly unlikely pair! Season 2 of the anime will begin airing on April 3 in Japan. The anime’s first season aired from January to March 2023.
