Who Will Confess First? The Saga Continues!
Picture this: Two intellectual heavyweights in a high-stakes game of emotional chicken. Both are waiting for the other to confess their feelings first, while viewers hold their collective breath. No, we’re not talking about an espionage thriller. This is the narrative arc that’s made Kaguya-sama: Love is War a pop culture phenomenon. But what everyone’s been itching to know is, when is the next round of this emotional chess match? A.k.a., when is Kaguya-sama: Love is War season 4 hitting our screens?
A Skyrocketing Rise to Fame: Kaguya-sama: Love is War
“The only thing stopping the two ‘supposed’ lovers from getting into a relationship is their pride because ‘whoever confesses first, kinda loses.'”
This line perfectly encapsulates the riveting narrative of Aka Akasaka’s seinen manga series, which took less than two years to claim the 3rd spot in the illustrious “Next Manga Awards.”
Skeptics dismissed this astronomical rise as mere luck, but let’s get real. Kaguya-sama’s charm isn’t an accident. The series crafts a symphony of laugh-out-loud moments and heart-pounding twists around two central characters—Kaguya Shinomiya and Miyuki Shirogane—whose social differences can’t inhibit their undeniable chemistry. It’s no wonder Studio A-1 Pictures saw this gem and snatched it up for adaptation. The result? A massive fandom and two stellar seasons, followed by a third and a hit movie titled ‘Kaguya-sama: Love is War – The First Kiss that Never Ends.’
Where the Confetti Stops: Will There Be a Season 4?
It’s been a nerve-wracking 5 months since the release of the Kaguya-sama movie, and the big question looms—when can we expect season 4? Despite the deafening online chatter, there’s still no official word. But don’t lose hope. The word on the virtual streets is that a fourth season would be a cash cow for everyone involved. And let’s face it, we’re a long way from seeing this romantic game reach its final round.
Predicting the Unpredictable: The Mystery of the Release Date
Currently, there’s no official release date, leaving fans clutching their plush Kaguya and Miyuki dolls in suspense. Some speculate the holdup could be A-1 Pictures’ jam-packed schedule. With projects like ‘NeiR: Automata Ver1.1a,’ ‘Mashle: Magic and Muscles,’ and ‘Solo Leveling’ lined up, the studio might be playing hard to get. But if past patterns are any indication, Kaguya-sama seasons hit the airwaves within 6 months of their announcement. So, the optimists among us have a reason to keep the faith.
Plot Teasers: What’s Next in the Romance Arena?
In case you missed it, season 3 ended on a bang—or should I say, a burst of heart-shaped balloons? Finally, Miyuki confesses his love for Kaguya, asking her to apply to Stanford with him. Kaguya, ever the maverick, responds not with words but with a passionate kiss. So what’s next?
Expect the “New Game Arc” to kickstart the fourth season, where our ‘couple-but-not-officially-a-couple’ might start going on dates. We could even see Kaguya introducing Miyuki to her family. Buckle up; it’s going to be a roller coaster of feels!
Faces Behind the Voices: Who’s Returning?
While there’s no official confirmation yet, the word around the grapevine is that the original A-1 Pictures team will likely return for season 4. That means Shinichi Omata and Yasuhiro Nakanishi in the director’s chairs, and perhaps even Aoi Koga and Makoto Furukawa lending their vocal cords once more to the indomitable Kaguya and Miyuki.
Keeping the Hype Alive: The Unseen Trailer
We may not have a trailer yet, but the Kaguya-sama PR team is out in full force, participating in numerous collaboration events across Japan. With public excitement at an all-time high, the idea of a renewal isn’t so much a question of if, but when.

Final Word: Fingers Crossed, Hearts Open
Even though we don’t have a confirmed release date, the sheer weight of fan demand makes Kaguya-sama: Love is War season 4 almost a given. We may not know when Kaguya and Miyuki will return to our screens, but it’s hard to imagine saying goodbye to this game of love. Stay tuned for updates, because if there’s one thing this series teaches us, it’s to expect the unexpected.
So, will Kaguya and Miyuki finally let down their guards and openly acknowledge their love? Only time—and another season—will tell. But for now, let the games continue!
