After initial reports of a movie being in the works, the Kaguya-sama: Love is War anime movie is finally confirmed.

At the end of Season 3, it was announced that a new Love is War anime project is being made. Though at the time, it was not yet revealed if the project is a new TV anime season or if it’s a movie.

While several tweets have been made that say the project is a movie, we finally have official confirmation that the new Kaguya-sama: Love is War anime project is a movie (via Anime News Network).

The new movie was announced in the Newtype magazine August issue. There, more information on the upcoming movie was revealed.

Kaguya-sama: Love is War Anime Movie Title, Story

The upcoming film is entitled Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: First Kiss wa Owaranai (Kaguya-sama: Love is War: The First Kiss Never Ends).

This movie is an adaptation of the manga arc of the same name which takes place right after the events of season 3.

An anime movie adaptation of the next arc shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise given the trend of popular anime series’ getting movie releases.

For manga readers, a manga adaptation of the next arc makes sense. This is because the arc is short, meaning the events aren’t enough for a 1 cour season.

A feature-length film should be a better fit for the story’s events according to some manga readers.

Kaguya-sama: Love is War Anime Movie Release Date

While the Kaguya-sama: Love is War anime movie is confirmed, there’s currently no word yet on a release date.

Though it is expected to release in Japanese cinemas first, with a wide international release hopefully to follow soon.

As for Love is War Season 4, there’s no announcement yet if the series will get another TV anime season.

A new season may be released down the line as there are still lots of manga chapters yet to be adapted, even if the Love is War manga is ending its run soon.
