Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie season 1 is set to receive an anime adaptation by Doga Kobo. This announcement was made in January 2021 through Kodansha's Magazine Pocket official Twitter account.
Originally planned to air from April 10, 2022, to July 10, the anime faced two delays during its broadcast. As a result, special episodes were released during these periods of delay.
With only one season out, it's hard to predict when a sequel will come, considering each anime follows a particular schedule, even if it's not officially confirmed. It's probable that Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie season 2 will be released in 2023 since it wasn't announced for that year, disappointing fans.

For fans familiar with the original manga series, it comes as no surprise that the anime loosely follows the source material. The first season adapted up until chapter 62 of volume 6, omitting around 23 chapters in the process. Interestingly, Doga Kobo will once again skip the remaining three chapters in that volume.
In the second season of Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie, it is expected that the story will pick up from the seventh volume of Keigo Maki's original manga. This sequel will delve into important events, including Izumi's initial encounter with Shikimori's mother, preparation for final exams, and the joyful Christmas celebration.
