Clevatess II is the second season of a dark fantasy anime that turns the usual hero story upside down. It is based on a manga by Yuji Iwahara that began in 2020 on the Line Manga app. The studio Lay-duce animates it, and Kiyotaka Taguchi directs. The first season aired in summer 2025, and this one began in July 2026. Crunchyroll streams both. To follow this season, you need to know how the story began. In this world, four terrible creatures called the Beast Kings rule over wild lands and fight against humans. One of them is Clevatess, a huge and very smart beast. When the human hero Alicia comes to defeat him, she loses. But Clevatess does not simply leave her dead. He brings her body back with dark sorcery. She is now a walking corpse who must obey him. Clevatess gives Alicia a strange job. He has taken a human baby named Luna, who came from the kingdom he destroyed. Alicia must help raise and protect the child. So a proud warrior who once wanted to kill the beast is now forced to live beside him and care for a baby. Over time, their odd partnership becomes the emotional center of the story. Alicia is angry and sad about what she has lost, but she also grows to truly love Luna. And Clevatess, who at first seems cold and cruel, turns out to be more complicated than he looks. Season 2 opens after the fighting of the first season has ended. People from several human kingdoms travel to Solsein, a hidden academy tied to a religious order and to old spellcraft. A general who has died left behind unanswered questions, and many people want to find what he kept out of sight. Our heroes are pulled into this hunt. Luna is growing up, and she is now learning to use spells herself. The academy setting brings new characters, school life, and politics between the kingdoms. The show is serious and sometimes violent, with dark creatures and tense fights. But it also has warm and even funny moments about raising a child in a very unusual family. It asks who the real monsters are, and whether a being of great power can learn to care. It also looks at how old wars and lies can shape the lives of the next generation. Clevatess is a good pick for fans of stories where a hero and a demon-like enemy are forced to work together. It is best watched after the first season, since this one builds directly on the bond between Alicia, Luna, and the beast king.
