Aloha Comics announced the English license acquisition of the manhua adaptation of Heaven Official’s Blessing Season 2.

The publisher revealed that this would be released as a four-volume collector’s edition in a slipcase and other bonuses which will be unveiled at a later date. The collection comes out this year.
Based on Mo Xiang Tong Xiu’s popular danmei series, Heaven Official’s Blessing follows an unlucky god named Xie Lian who was once a beloved prince among the mortals and god among the heavens. After being banished twice, Xie Lian has become the laughingstock of all three realms. When he ascends for an unprecedented third time, it turns the heavens upside down. With multiple palaces destroyed, Xie Lian now has to find some way to pay the damages but with no followers and therefore no power, he can’t do much except descend to the mortal realm to hunt down ghosts. There, he meets a mysterious red-robed young man who seems to know a lot about Xie Lian.
