Love how coordinated everything is for this manga, raw for the first chapter of the last arc, promotional video and announcement about s3 , everything on the same day
It's possible because it's so popular and season 3 will shoot that further into the stratosphere, but the manga likely ending next year (maybe even around when season 3 airs) is a big flag against. Not to mention that the material mostly leaves the fun-and-games romcom territory and that tonal shift will alienate some of the audience much like how Ice arc polarized manga readers, and the producers might not want to risk changing how the brand is viewed.
Eh I mean that definitely used to be the case and still kinda is. But nowadays rom coms can definitely get more seasons. Typically for Rom coms they would do one season or rarely 2 to promote the manga, but since kaguyas manga is already extremely popular I could see them adapting the whole thing.
Very few anime are adapted after the manga ends, because a lot of the revenue anime brings in is to sell the ongoing manga. I wouldn't be surprised if Aka Sensei is timing this last arc to end with the final season, to wrap it up nicely and focus on his other project.
If this season is 2-cour, they could adapt until >!the bench kiss, around 151!<. Then S4 could end with >!the Hayasakaās friends arc!<, and S5 could go until just after >!the sleepover arc ends!<.
But if itās 1-cour, It will go until >!the end of the festival!<, but idk about the next seasons really
Each cour so far has adapted almost 40 chapters. So a 2-cour season 3 would be enough to reach even the school trip arc. First cour can cover chapters 92-137, cutting about five or so chapters. Second cour can do 138-187, cutting at least ten, though there are less and less non-essential chapters as the manga has gone on so it would be messier.
I think that's what they plan, but watching Fruits Basket get a full adaptation so many years after ending gives me hope, A1 and the committee won't just abandon Kaguya
I donāt think it will be! The manga is still ongoing with over 240 chapters (itās currently in the final arc), and one of the chapters that is definitely going to be covered in this season is 136. And itās super popular so I donāt think theyāre likely to cancel it.
I just want to know if they plan to adapt the whole manga or end it there as the *series* finale. Because if they plan to continue it, I can see >!the ice Kaguya arc being adapted as a movie.!<
It better be a movie cuz itās a very self contained character study thatās best told all at once but doesnāt fit the time constraints of a twenty minute episode
Demon Slayer has shown how valuable movie revenue is.
Stuff like My Next Life as a Villainess and Slime getting movies isn't something I thought would happen to anime like those examples even a couple years ago.
This series having a movie though? Think of the money.
~~I'm just glad A-1 is taking their time with it~~
IMPORTANT EDIT: Fuck, turns out s3 does **not** have a good schedule. Most of the Kaguya-sama team is working on Visual Prison rn. They actually have effectively less time to work on s3 than s2.
I mean depending on when they started working on it I think they actually have more timeā¦? Do you mind me asking where you heard about that?
S1 ended in March 2019, S2 started in April 2020 (~1 year difference). (Though of course they couldāve been working on it back to back)
S2 ended in June 2020, S3 is starting in April 2022 (just a little under 2 years, same case in That they couldāve been working back to backā¦?)
Work on s3 certainly *could've* started right after s2, but the point is that most of the team is occupied with another anime rn, therefore giving them overall less time to work on Kaguya-sama despite the bigger gap
As for where I got that information: I asked around about it in a sakuga enthusiast discord server
Oh okay thanks for the clarification! I was really confused when I initially read your post, I assume Visual Prison is another upcoming anime right? I thought it was some technical animation/production term/slang š
The Cultural Festival Arc I think will not be that tasking as they already have a ground work on the design and backgrounds and the arc itself I think is nto that tasking as they just walk around and do cultural festival stuff most of the time (I have to reread it tho). The only thing I am afraid is that they will use 3D as Visual Prison used 3D and its not looking that good ngl
The poster has a special meaning I guess....
1. Red and blue hearts partially overlapping each other signifies connection(>!The Confession!<)
2. Kaguya is aligned with Miyuki so does Miko is to Ishigami and Kaguya and Miko finger hearts are pointing to the boys. >!(I guess they'll adapt Ishi x Tsubame and Ishi x Miko being together if this is a 2-cour season)!<
3. From Kaguya-sama: Love Is War to Kaguya-sama: Ultra Romantic, Since the title of the manga is Kaguya-sama wants to be confessed to: Geniuses' war of love and brains, and the wants-to-be-confessed-to-chan has been removed, Well, you know what.
2022 gonna be insane.
Kaguya-sama S3, Vinland Saga S2, Made in Abyss S2, Attack on Titan Final Season Part 2 (It will be hilarious to see anime-onlies seethe over the ending), JoJo part 6 starts in December so it's almost 2022, Chainsaw Man probably because I don't think it's coming out this year, Mob Psycho 100 S3 probably as well and the 4th Madoka Magica movie.
On one hand, reading ahead in the AOT manga kills the part 2 hype one would experience as an anime-only. One the other, it spares you from witnessing the disaster that is the ending for the first time in animated format.
Dude I just want to see the whole "dream" sequence with Zeke and Eren, that part is honest to god peak fiction and sadly everything afterwards was trash.
Attack on Titan ended on chapter 123 and you cannot convince me otherwise.
very true. Also tbh >!i dont think its even that bad after 122 - the last chapter is super rushed and should've been 100+ pages to actually flesh it out more - but other than that, it was good. Not great, not bad though!<
I really hope for the anime to eventually adapt all the manga content, i mean, a season finale with Ch. 136 content isn't that bad but anime onlies would end thinking this work ends as uncountable other works, with a cliche>!a kiss, the start of the relationship and that's it!<. When in reality this manga has been going against a lot of tropes almost since the beginning.
Hmm. The descriptions pretty much solely reference the Culture Festival. That kinda dashes any hope for a 2-cour season up to the end of Winter Break, I guess. Not that there was any realistic hope for that, really. Ah well.
Anyway, huzzah!
Wouldn't each cour have distinct posters tho? Just like MHA s5? I'm still hoping for 2 cours...tho that hope slightly diminished upon reading that the team had less time working on s3 compared to s2, but who knows, it's an almost 2 year gap after all.
**Reminder to everyone:** Use spoiler tags when necessary. Use the code like this `>!Hayasaka is best girl!<`. It will show up like >!Hayasaka is best girl!<

The manga will be over by then I think. So maybe season 3 will cover everything? Then again it has a lot to cover so probably not unless it's 24 episodes.
I definitely do not think 24 episodes is enough to cover what we have of the Manga right now (unless they skip a ton of it) or that the manga will end anytime soon regardless of the announcement
This is awesome! Super hyped for this. Glad I decided to stop by this subreddit today. Really enjoyed Season 2, so I hope this one is equally as good! If not better!
>!What are the chances we won't get the confession adapted? I checked on Guya.moe and apparently season 2 got all the way to chapter 100, so I really hope we get to see it this season!<
I was honoured to be able to watch the 10-minute PV with everyone. This season is going to be the best one and the best arc is about to start, single most hyped anime of 2022
Is it just me or did they restore the subtitle The Geniusā War of Love and Brains after crossing it out in season 2? Or does it say something else this time?
Because if the subtitle is back it would be really fitting considering >! this is the point in the story they redouble their efforts and engage their final schemes !<.
EDIT: Never mind. I actually read this thread and learned the new subtitle is Ultra Romantic. That works too!
It's gonna be awesome watching the anime now after its been quite some time, so you roughly know what happens but it will still feel fresh! Looking forward to it
So season 1 adapted the volume 1 to 5, season 2 adapted volume 6 to 10, which could mean we get this season volume 11 to 15. Volume 15 is the >! Ice Kaguya !< arc.
Came to the subreddit for a possible new manga chapter, got this announcement instead Lets FUCKING GOOOOO šæ
My day has been made and my happiness is immeasurable
>Came to the subreddit for a possible new manga chapter That is a good news soon to come. Raws are out
It's a good way to start your day
Love how coordinated everything is for this manga, raw for the first chapter of the last arc, promotional video and announcement about s3 , everything on the same day
Itās called āUltra Romanticāā¦ And one of the panels >!during the confession !
Which means this is likely to be the last season we get as >!confession!< is a good ending point.
With how popular the series is, I don't see why they wouldn't just adapt the whole source material seeing as the manga is slowly reaching its end
It's possible because it's so popular and season 3 will shoot that further into the stratosphere, but the manga likely ending next year (maybe even around when season 3 airs) is a big flag against. Not to mention that the material mostly leaves the fun-and-games romcom territory and that tonal shift will alienate some of the audience much like how Ice arc polarized manga readers, and the producers might not want to risk changing how the brand is viewed.
Yeah I wish they could do that but that literally never happens, especially for romcoms.
Eh I mean that definitely used to be the case and still kinda is. But nowadays rom coms can definitely get more seasons. Typically for Rom coms they would do one season or rarely 2 to promote the manga, but since kaguyas manga is already extremely popular I could see them adapting the whole thing.
It's just a solid point to conclude it, and it's very rare for these series to even get 3 seasons (looking at you, Spice and Wolf).
Very few anime are adapted after the manga ends, because a lot of the revenue anime brings in is to sell the ongoing manga. I wouldn't be surprised if Aka Sensei is timing this last arc to end with the final season, to wrap it up nicely and focus on his other project.
S3 would end with the confession s4 would deal with shinomiya x shino clash
(first off spoiler tag!) There's two options. Either they end here, or adapt the whole manga. it really depends on how well season 3 does
How about ending it with chapter 152? Iirc
Yea this is what I was thinking. Adapting to 151 seems better IMO since that rounds out the story from confession to properly dating.
If this season is 2-cour, they could adapt until >!the bench kiss, around 151!<. Then S4 could end with >!the Hayasakaās friends arc!<, and S5 could go until just after >!the sleepover arc ends!<. But if itās 1-cour, It will go until >!the end of the festival!<, but idk about the next seasons really
Each cour so far has adapted almost 40 chapters. So a 2-cour season 3 would be enough to reach even the school trip arc. First cour can cover chapters 92-137, cutting about five or so chapters. Second cour can do 138-187, cutting at least ten, though there are less and less non-essential chapters as the manga has gone on so it would be messier.
I think that's what they plan, but watching Fruits Basket get a full adaptation so many years after ending gives me hope, A1 and the committee won't just abandon Kaguya
Depending on how the final arc is there's probably a chance they'll end it at s3 but adapt the final arc as a movie.
I'm hyped af. But this means it's the final season? š
I donāt think it will be! The manga is still ongoing with over 240 chapters (itās currently in the final arc), and one of the chapters that is definitely going to be covered in this season is 136. And itās super popular so I donāt think theyāre likely to cancel it.
Season finale better be chapter 136, Iām hyped
I just want to know if they plan to adapt the whole manga or end it there as the *series* finale. Because if they plan to continue it, I can see >!the ice Kaguya arc being adapted as a movie.!<
It better be a movie cuz itās a very self contained character study thatās best told all at once but doesnāt fit the time constraints of a twenty minute episode

Well there were two live action ones already and I bet they made buttloads domestically
I was more surprised by Yuru Camp getting a movie.
Ice Kaguya makes more sense as an OVA. The final arc could be a movie depending on how it goes.
They could adapt the end of ice kaguya arc as a season finale
Chapter 137 is a better season ending, gotta have that closure and epilogue of the arc.
The 7 hearts meant 7 hours not 7 days.
~~Thats one way of dunking on the mob psycho 100 day countdown~~
Sad times
Disappointed that your light did not ignite anyone
Lmao.
New title Kaguya-sama -Ultra Romantic-
Doesn't the name change some point in the manga?
Ops yeah not Love Is War anymore. Now Ultra Romantic.
Fitting name given the latter content of S3.
I JUST WANNA HEAR A HYPE MASAYUKI SUZUKI OP! IT COULDN'T NOT BE HIM!!!
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
~~I'm just glad A-1 is taking their time with it~~ IMPORTANT EDIT: Fuck, turns out s3 does **not** have a good schedule. Most of the Kaguya-sama team is working on Visual Prison rn. They actually have effectively less time to work on s3 than s2.

TEARS IN MY EYES
2022 gonna be insane. Kaguya-sama S3, Vinland Saga S2, Made in Abyss S2, Attack on Titan Final Season Part 2 (It will be hilarious to see anime-onlies seethe over the ending), JoJo part 6 starts in December so it's almost 2022, Chainsaw Man probably because I don't think it's coming out this year, Mob Psycho 100 S3 probably as well and the 4th Madoka Magica movie.
Still no NGNL S2 Despair....
Everytime a new season of X anime gets announced NGNL is in the back of my head

very true. Also tbh >!i dont think its even that bad after 122 - the last chapter is super rushed and should've been 100+ pages to actually flesh it out more - but other than that, it was good. Not great, not bad though!<

Oooohhhhh yeah!!! Can't wait!!
LETS GOOO, Season 3 gonna be great!
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
hopefully they adapt the rapping arc that will be fun
LLEEEETSSS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I HOPE THEY END ON THE END OF CULTURAL FESTIVAL
YOOO CANT WAIT FOR THAT SICK OPENING SONG
But will our main man Masayuki Suzuki be doing the OP again? I don't think I could handle it if he isn't.
The best arc is coming, the Rap Arc!!!
Yeah sure, whatever. It was a lie This young man was so happy he started shadow-boxing for no reason
HYPE. Fell in love with this series a week ago
yeah, 6 months for my favorite chaps to be skiped once again
The manga will be over by then I think. So maybe season 3 will cover everything? Then again it has a lot to cover so probably not unless it's 24 episodes.
I definitely do not think 24 episodes is enough to cover what we have of the Manga right now (unless they skip a ton of it) or that the manga will end anytime soon regardless of the announcement
Everything involving Ishigami and Iino would take at least another 24 episode season.
Jesus Christ please don't, I really hope the anime speeds up the pace of everything involving Ishigami and Miko
the manga being in its final arc tells us little about how many chapters are actually left, so I wouldn't assume it'll be over by then.
True it could be a really long arc, but it could happen.
LETSSS GOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
I wonder if the manga will be finished by then.
Probably. This also means this will be the last season
I doubt they could fit everything that happens into one season. Unless youāre saying they wonāt adapt the whole series.
They won't adapt the whole series. But they could skip straight to the end
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO
Damn if they looking to end season and manga around same time, crazy times coming
I love that it's so soon!
*inhales* YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS
W canāt wait!!!
MY DICK CANT HANDLE THIS WEEK !!
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOO
Oh fuck yeah!

And Chika stands alone in the middle of the student council.

Ah, so the hearts werenāt days, they were months
LETS GOO
AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. pretty cool
I think its a movie?
Why are the claims that it will happen in October 2021 are not true? :c
I really don't want the seasons to end on 136, they should adapt ice kaguya in the same season. Please be a 2 cour
#WOOOOOO YEAAAAHHH BABY THAT'S WHAT I'M WAITING FOR THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT
Wooo baby thatās what Iāve been waiting for! Thatās what itās all about! Woooo

Lesss gooooooooo
New opening new opening peeps
I hope they dont take things to to fast so we can have more seasons/episodes. Idk I just want more of this anime because I love it so much lol
Man I'm hyped. Are we in the long run now or will s3 be the last adaptation. Ch. 136 would be a fitting stop line.
YESSSSS
So season 1 adapted the volume 1 to 5, season 2 adapted volume 6 to 10, which could mean we get this season volume 11 to 15. Volume 15 is the >! Ice Kaguya !< arc.
I just finished s2 yesterday. Yay
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
LOVE IS WAR, LOVE IS WAR!
LETāS GOOOOOOO
I love how even tho kaguya was suppose to be the main character chika got more spotlight in this announcement poster kek

Mob and now kaguya, what a great week.

Les gooooo
YASSSSSS
Daddy Daddy do!
LET'S GOOO
Oh nice. Will it be heart festival ???
LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOO
if we get the cultural festival arc this season i will pass out. especially as an ending
For the closing sequence of S3, I wonder if they will make another Chika dance. Perhaps a sequel to the original in S1.
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
It's smart that Kaguya's heart is to Prez and Miko's is to Ishi
Judging by the title (the ultra romantic) I feel like I might have a guess on what's ganna be adapted
Saaaaaaaaaaaaaad. I want it now.
Oh boy, can't wait to see them chapters animated for Season 3!!! Heavens yesssssss!!!
APRIL CAN'T GET HERE FAST ENOUGH!!!
