The popular anime series Kaguya-sama: Love is War is concluding with a new animated film featuring an original story by the series creator. While fans anticipated a fourth season of the TV show, the new release is actually a standalone film. Surprisingly, the film’s story takes place well after the events of many chapters in the original manga that weren’t previously adapted into the anime.
After the recent release of the Kaguya-sama: Love is War – Stairway to Adulthood special in Japan, Kaguya-sama: Love is War is coming back with a new movie! This film will be a completely original story written by the series creator, Aka Akasaka, and will serve as the official ending to the anime. A short teaser trailer has been released to announce the movie, and you can watch it below.
What to Know for Kaguya-sama: Love is War’s Anime Finale
The upcoming Kaguya-sama: Love is War movie hasn’t revealed its official title yet, but it will conclude the anime series. Creator Aka Akasaka shared with fans that the team made this decision around four years ago. Importantly, the movie isn’t based on the manga; instead, Akasaka has written an entirely new story specifically for the film, meaning any content skipped over in the manga won’t be included.
Akasaka, the creator of Kaguya-sama: Love is War, described the new movie as both fresh and reminiscent of the series’ beginnings. He hopes it will be the final installment in the Kaguya-sama story. This explains why the recent anime special adapts events differently from the manga, focusing on a new moment for Kaguya and Shirogane, and why the anime is choosing this path for its conclusion. Now, fans are eagerly awaiting to see how the story ends.
Where to Watch Kaguya-sama’s New Special
I’m so excited – the new Kaguya-sama: Love is War special, Stairway to Adulthood, is finally out! You can watch it right now on Crunchyroll with English subtitles. It continues the story after season three, so if you haven’t seen it yet, definitely check out the earlier seasons on Crunchyroll first to get caught up. And good news for movie fans – we don’t have a release date for the final movie yet, which means plenty of time to rewatch everything and get ready!
Like other popular anime such as Demon Slayer and Haikyu!!, Kaguya-sama: Love is War is concluding its story with a theatrical release. This seems to be a growing trend as the anime industry evolves, with more franchises choosing to end their series in cinemas.
