The tenth and final episode of Shoushimin Series (Shoshimin: How to Become Ordinary) ended with an announcement for a second season on Sunday, scheduled for a Spring 2025 debut.

The second season will focus on two new cases from the novel series, adapting the two-part third volume Shuuki Gentei Kuri Kinton Jiken (The Autumn-Exclusive Kuri Kinton Case) and the fifth volume Touki Gentei Bonbon Chocolat Jiken (The Winter-Exclusive Chocolate Bonbons Case).

The first season covered the first two volumes—Shunki Gentei Ichigo Tart Jiken (The Spring-Exclusive Strawberry Tart Case) and Kaki Gentei Tropical Parfait Jiken (The Summer-Exclusive Tropical Parfait Case).

Voice actors Teppei Uenishi (3D Kanojo: Real Girl), Yume Miyamoto (Blue Period), and Seiichirou Yamashita (Horimiya) are joining the cast as Takahiko Urino, Tokiko Nakamaru, and Yuuto Hiya, respectively.

The television anime adapting Honobu Yonezawa's youth mystery novel began airing on the NUMAnimation programming block on TV Asahi and its 24 affiliate stations on July 7. Crunchyroll simulcast the anime with subtitles worldwide, excluding East Asia.

Mamoru Kanbe (Subete ga F ni Naru) directed the anime series at Lapin Track (Undead Girl Murder Farce), with Toshiya Oono (Shadows House) in charge of the series composition. Atsushi Saitou (Black Fox) designed the characters and Takahiro Obata (Yakusoku no Neverland) composed the music.

Yonezawa began penning the novel under Tokyo Sougensha's Sougen Suiri Bunko label in December 2004, approximately three years after beginning the Koten-bu Series (Hyouka). The fourth volume shipped in January 2020, nearly 11 years after the third volume was published in two parts in February and March 2009. The fifth and latest volume went on sale on April 26. Shoushimin Series has a cumulative 1.1 million copies in print.

GFantasy irregularly serialized a manga adaptation of the first volume by Anko Manjuuya from April 2007 to December 2008. A manga adaptation of the second volume by Fua Yamasaki and OmiOmi ran in the same magazine between February 2010 and January 2011.
