After the Job Change Arc, Season 2 begins with the Red Gate Arc. A snowy dungeon was initially supposed to serve as training for E-rank hunter Han Song-Yi. However, it turns out to be a special Red Gate that closes after the hunters enter. A tough fight for survival begins.

- Streaming provider: Crunchyroll
What is it about? The young animator Natsuko Hirose is so introverted that she is often seen only with hair covering her face. However, she has an incredible talent for drawing anime. She hits a big success that she wants to quickly follow up on.
Her next project is a romantic comedy, which she cannot get into. After some artistic blocks, Natsuko suddenly collapses. She wakes up in her favorite anime that she has known since childhood. She quickly realizes that she can influence the events.
Who is it suitable for? This series is an Isekai where the protagonist awakens in another world. However, she can influence the events there. The trailers look so promising that it probably isn’t a classic standard Isekai.
Therefore, we can recommend the anime to all Isekai viewers who want to see something fresher than the male hero who wakes up in a world full of monster girls and well-endowed companions.
