Production for Wistoria: Wand and Sword Season 2 is helmed by Actas studio, returning from the first season to maintain the high-octane animation style that earned praise for its fluid action choreography. The directorial team, led by Tatsuya Yoshihara (Black Clover), promises to expand on the world-building while keeping the focus on character-driven battles. Key staff members, including series composer Yuki Hayashi for the soundtrack and character designer Sayaka Ono, are reprising their roles to ensure continuity in the visual and auditory spectacle.
A major highlight of the announcement is the confirmation of the returning voice cast, bringing their talents back to breathe life into the ensemble. The lineup features:
Kohei Amasaki as Will Serfort

The announcement also teases a 12-episode run for the season, allowing ample room to adapt more arcs from the source material while pacing the narrative for maximum impact. As the magical academy setting gives way to broader world threats, viewers can expect heightened stakes, including rivalries that test alliances and revelations that challenge the very foundations of magic itself.
What is Wistoria: Wand and Sword about?
Originating as a manga series written by Fujino Ōmori and illustrated by Toshi Aoi, Wistoria: Wand and Sword first serialized in Square Enix's Monthly Shōnen Gangan magazine in 2020. The story quickly gained traction for its fresh take on the fantasy genre, blending elements of underdog protagonists and high-stakes tournaments in a richly detailed magical universe. With over 5 million copies in circulation by late 2025, the manga has solidified its place as a standout in the sword-and-sorcery subgenre, appealing to readers who enjoy tales of perseverance against systemic odds.
Crunchyroll's synopsis of Wistoria: Wand and Sword captures the heart of the adventure:
In a world where magic reigns, Will Serfort can’t cast a spell. Though hardworking, Will’s classmates think less of him for it. However, he has a secret strength: his sword. Can Will defy expectations with muscle over magic and blade over wand? Find out in this epic sword-and-sorcery adventure!
This premise sets the stage for a narrative that explores themes of self-reliance, friendship, and the blurred lines between strength and sorcery, making it a compelling watch for anime enthusiasts.
