Kaguya-sama: Love Is War Returns After 3 Years With New Anime Trailer & Release Date

Based on the manga by Aka Akasaka—the creator of Oshi no KoKaguya-Sama: Love Is War offers a fresh take on the familiar “enemies to lovers” story often seen in anime. The series follows Kaguya Shinomiya and Miyuki Shirogane, the top students at Shuchiin Academy, who are both too proud to admit their feelings for each other. Instead of being honest, they engage in elaborate schemes to trick the other into confessing their love first.

The first season of Kaguya-Sama: Love Is War originally aired from January to March 2019, and proved to be very popular. This success led to two more seasons, a special animated video, and a movie called Kaguya-Sama: Love Is War – The First Kiss That Never Ends, which came out in Japan in December 2022 and in North America in February 2023. Mamoru Hatakeyama (or Shinichi Omata) directed both the anime series and the movie, and he’s also known for his work on shows like Black Butler, Hetalia: The Beautiful World, and Undead Murder Farce.

You can watch Kaguya-sama: Love Is War on Crunchyroll. The original manga by Aka Akasaka is published in English by VIZ Media.
