Alongside Genos, his faithful disciple, Saitama performs his official hero duties as a member of the Hero Association. One day, monsters claiming to be from the Monster Association suddenly appeared, taking a child of Hero Association executive hostage. The S-class heroes gather and plan a raid on the Monster Association hideout to rescue the hostage.

The second season of Magilumiere Magical Girls Inc., animated by J.C.Staff, continues its corporate-workplace spin on the mahou shoujo genre: magical girls here are salaried employees, and protagonists Kana Sakuragi and Hitomi Koshigaya spend as much time on internal politics and product rollout for the company's Alice System as they do fighting. This season pits them against industry factions pushing to deregulate magic use for profit, raising the stakes beyond the first season's day-to-day office drama.
