The August 2022 issue of Kadokawa’s Newtype magazine has announced that Aka Akasaka’s Kaguya-sama: Love is War series is getting an anime film titled Kaguya-sama: Love is War: The First Kiss Never Ends, adapting the manga’s story arc of the same name. The arc takes place after the end of the anime’s third season.

The story of the series is described as:

All’s fair when love is war.

Two geniuses. Two brains. Two hearts. One battle. Who will confess their love first?

Kaguya Shinomiya and Miyuki Shirogane are two geniuses who stand atop their prestigious academy’s student council, making them the elite among elite. But it’s lonely at the top and each has fallen for the other. There’s just one huge problem standing in the way of lovey-dovey bliss—they’re both too prideful to be the first to confess their romantic feelings and thus become the “loser” in the competition of love. And so begins their daily schemes to force the other to confess first.

The first season of the Kaguya-sama: Love is War anime premiered in January 2019 and aired for 12 episodes. Aniplex of America streamed the series on Hulu, Crunchyroll, and FunimationNow. The company also released the anime on Blu-ray Disc in February 2021. The second season premiered in April 2020. FUNimation Entertainment simulcast the anime as it aired in Japan, and the company also dubbed both seasons of the anime. The third season premiered on April 9, 2022, and Crunchyroll and FUNimation Entertainment simulcast the season as it aired in Japan.
