Ahead of the official DMM TV premiere on Thursday, September 17, the series is already generating significant buzz.

With Kanako’s story on a whole new level, I’m going to watch every episode from here on out!”; “The pacing is incredible!”; “The action has been amped up—it’s a real treat to watch!”; “For some reason, I keep rewatching it. It’s addictive”; “I love the original work, and I’m so happy the actors are such a perfect fit for their roles”; and “I can’t wait to watch Episode 2!!

Not only has the free streaming of Season 1, Episode 1 surpassed 10 million views, but the Season 2 trailer, released just the other day, has also surpassed 900,000 views in less than 20 days since its release, heightening anticipation for the official premiere starting September 17.

And now, riding the wave of excitement surrounding the free YouTube release, new stills have been unveiled featuring the “clueless hitman duo”—Kanako, the legendary hitwoman played by NON and Sakurai, the veteran hitman played by Taisuke Fujigaya.

These photos offer a glimpse of the laid-back and perfect chemistry that remains as strong as ever in Season 2—whether it’s Kanako on a hit job with Sakurai standing beside her in a daze, or the two of them chatting cheerfully on the street—a dynamic that almost makes you forget they’re actually hitmen.

“Happy Kanako's Killer Life 2” will begin exclusive streaming on DMM TV starting Thursday, September 17.

New episodes will be added every Thursday, with a total of 5 episodes available.
