How Did Kaguya Outsmart Miyuki?
In Chapter 280, Miyuki arrived in Japan hoping to surprise Kaguya at her graduation. On her part, Kaguya proved to be one step ahead.
While hiding from Kaguya, Miyuki had a lengthy exchange with Mikado Shijo, which turned out to be a win for the former. But Kaguya, who was actually eavesdropping, was confident that she would have the last laugh.
After reading Chapter 280, fans might have wondered if Miyuki would even get to graduate, given that he'd dropped out of high school and gone straight to college.
At first, Miyuki pretends to be content just watching his friends' graduation, but soon enough, his father persuades him to sneak into the academy and see his friends graduate.
Afterward, Kaguya meets him in their old classroom and pretends to be surprised that he came to see her.
When Miyuki congratulates her on her graduation, she reciprocates, revealing that, having foreseen his arrival, she's prepared an informal graduation celebration with all of her and Miyuki's friends.
Miyuki doesn't initially admit his jealousy, but he's pleasantly surprised when it turns out that Kaguya worked behind the scenes to give him a graduation experience.
Both Kaguya and Miyuki poured a large part of their energy and their very selves into the school council, so this graduation party was very moving.
Moreover, it was only fitting for the titular character to have the last word in the manga's final intellectual battle!
Will Kaguya and Miyuki's Battles Ever Stop?
One would think that now that Kaguya and Miyuki are actually dating, they would finally stop mentally challenging each other, but that is far from true.
Now that Kaguya will go to Stanford and be with Miyuki, the two have decided to take their relationship to the next level.
Kaguya wants to be proposed to, even though she has just graduated.
From his end, Miyuki thinks that, in order to present himself to the Shinomiya family as a groom, he has to get every single aspect of his life together.
The way he sees it, this is unlikely to happen before his forties, unless, of course, Kaguya proposes to him first.
And so, one of our favorite anime couples goes on, and it seems that they will continue to be hilarious as they try to outsmart each other even now.
So, Will Kaguya and Miyuki Ever Get Married?
Kaguya and Miyuki will actually get married, and despite Miyuki's perfectionist tendencies, it will happen well before their forties.
But if you're looking to find this information in Kaguya-sama: Love Is War, you'll be searching for a long time.
In fact, the answer lies in Aka Akasaka's other manga, Oshi no Ko.
Oshi no Ko is very different from Kaguya-sama as it offers a grim look into the idol industry.
In Chapter 90.1 of Oshi no Ko, aspiring idol Ruby Hoshino participates in a photo shoot. Afterward, she and her brother Aqua discuss the photographer.
The final panel reveals that the photographer is Kaguya. When Aqua asks for her name, Ruby reveals that it's Kaguya Shirogane.
For fans of both manga, this is a sweet way to know that Kaguya achieved both her dreams.
She's now a successful photographer and she gets to spend her life with her true love.
We can't tell Kaguya's exact age in Oshi no Ko but she looks quite young.
We would guess that the latter manga unfolds around 5-10 years later, which would mean that Kaguya and Miyuki married quite young.
Unfortunately, we have no way of knowing who yielded and proposed first.

Where Are the Main Characters Now?
As we've reached the curtain call, let's refresh our memories of where we left all the main characters:
Chika Fujiwara, who was confirmed in her last chapter as an LGBTQIA+ character, will continue being the cheerful character we know and love.
Miko Iino is now the school president with Ishigami as vice president.
The two will continue Kaguya and Miyuki's legacy of refusing to confess to one another, suggesting that the whole student council needs some lessons on being vulnerable.
Hayasaka will finally get to be free and travel the world, though she will always love to return to her friends.
Will There Be More Kaguya-sama Content?
At this time, no additional Kaguya-sama: Love Is War content has been announced, though some people wouldn't be opposed to an Iino and Ishigami spin-off.
A movie titled Kaguya-sama: Love Is War: First Kiss Never Ends was released in cinemas worldwide in 2023 and will hopefully be available on Crunchyroll and other streaming services soon.
While Kaguya-sama: Love Is War Season 4 hasn't been announced, we hope that it'll happen soon so that we can see more of this amazing manga adapted.
Moreover, we've enjoyed the Kaguya-sama references in Oshi no Ko so far, particularly the Kaguya cameo.
It would be great if more characters made a short appearance in Oshi no Ko so that we could get a glimpse of how they're doing now.
