Neguse sings "LOVE & LIKE", the new opening for Please Excuse My Younger Brothers

The second cour of Please Excuse My Younger Brothers has a new opening. "LOVE & LIKE" by Neguse has been accompanying the episodes since this second batch began on October 2. The four-member band takes over from "Aikotoba" by DISH//, which opened the first half of the season.

The change was announced during the Aniplex One Focus streaming event, and Aniplex later released a special promotional video featuring the song. The series premiered in Japan on July 3 and keeps the two consecutive cours block it was planned with from the start: this stretch is not a later addition, but the remaining half of the season.

The ending is also new. "Clover" by Reira Ushio makes way for "Mabataki" by MEminor. Along with the two new songs comes the addition of Yōko Hikasa as Azusa Yashiro. On September 25, a few days before the return, the third promotional video and the second key visual for this batch were released.

From only child to older sister of four stepbrothers

The series adapts the manga by Akira Ozaki, published in Bessatsu Margaret since January 2020; its 15th volume came out on June 25. Before the anime, the work had a live-action film released in Japan in December 2024, which debuted in fourth place on its opening weekend.

The starting point is Ito, who after her mother's wedding goes from the quiet life of an only child to living with Gen, Raku, Syu, and Rui. Naomi Ōzora plays Ito, Toshiki Masuda plays Gen, Taku Yashiro plays Raku, Kenshō Ono plays Syu, and Momoka Terasawa plays Rui. Daisuke Ono as Isao and Aya Endō as Saho complete the cast.

Lay-duce, 24 episodes, and international streaming

Hitoshi Nanba directs the anime at studio Lay-duce. Megumi Shimizu handles series composition, Shiori Hiraiwa and Yōko Fukushima the character designs, and Gin from Busted Rose the music. The project was organized into 24 episodes split across two consecutive cours.

In Japan, the series airs on Tokyo MX, Gunma TV, Tochigi TV, and BS11 at 24:00 JST, meaning midnight of the following day. Crunchyroll distributes it worldwide except Japan, China, and Korea.
