The anime adaptation of Mistress Kanan Is Devilishly Easy has completed its first season and been renewed for a second season, with production continuing at Studio KAI.
The television anime adaptation of nonco's manga Mistress Kanan Is Devilishly Easy premiered on April 4, 2026, on Tokyo MX and BS11, and streams on Crunchyroll with an English dub. The first season was directed by Yasushi Muroya at Studio KAI, with series scripts by Rintarō Ikeda. The story follows Kanan, a thousand-year-old demoness who infiltrates a human high school to feast on souls but ends up in a relationship with a human boy, experiencing love for the first time.
The series was renewed for a second season immediately after the first season's finale aired on June 20, 2026. The announcement was made on the anime's official website, and character designer Akari Minagawa drew a commemorative illustration to mark the news. The swift renewal signals strong early performance for the series.
Anime Feminist published a review of the first episode that critiqued the age dynamic between the thousand-year-old demoness and the high school student, arguing the heavy focus on fan service and teenage sexuality made the high school setting uncomfortable. The review compared the dynamic unfavorably to Kakegurui and predicted the anime would not get a second season, a prediction contradicted by the later renewal. The manga, which began serialization in Kodansha's Weekly Shōnen Magazine in June 2022, has released 13 compiled volumes in Japan as of April 16, 2026. Seven Seas Entertainment will release the manga in English in omnibus format starting July 2026.

Anime Feminist published a review of the first episode of Mistress Kanan is Devilishly Easy, a new anime adaptation of the ongoing manga. The review describes the premise: the thousand-year-old Gourmet Devil Kanan comes to Earth to devour souls, targeting high school student Youji Kyougi, but he misunderstands her intentions and declares them boyfriend and girlfriend. The reviewer finds the high school setting uncomfortable given the heavy focus on fan service and teenage sexuality, noting that Kanan looks sixteen despite her age. The review compares the dynamic unfavorably to Kakegurui, calling the execution rote. It also notes that the manga is twelve volumes and counting, localized by Seven Seas, but predicts the anime will not get a second season. The reviewer expresses disinterest rather than hatred, saying the joke grows stale quickly.
