Koinu is still pasting stickers that mean nothing, still showing up to a job that never explains itself, still finding quiet dignity in the kind of work the world pretends doesn't matter. The second season doesn't pretend anything has changed, and that's what makes it hit harder. A dog alone in the city, doing small things carefully, proves that meaning doesn't have to be grand to be real.

Harimaware! Koinu returns for a second season of twelve short episodes, mixing comedy with slice-of-life. The first season introduced Koinu, an earnest dog who shows up to work one day and learns his company has gone under. With nowhere else to turn, he accepts a job from a mysterious recruiter: sticking dog stickers all over town. He has no idea what the task is for, yet he puts in steady effort every day. The first episode of this season had an early airing on TV Tokyo before the regular broadcast began in July 2024.
