Kaguya-sama: Love Is War Movies Confirms U.S. Theatrical Release

By Evan Valentine

While some of the biggest animes this year involved bloody violence and epic battles that shook the foundation of their respective universes, there was plenty of room when it came to romantic comedies that have become more popular over time. One of the biggest examples has been Kaguya-Sama: Love Is War, a hilarious series whose third season landed earlier in 2022. Now, with a new film hitting next year that might bring the series to an end, First Kiss has announced when it will hit North America and Canada.

One of the major selling points of Kaguya-Sama is its hilarious premise, in which two elite students attempt to hide their feelings from one another in a competition of wills. This battle becomes increasingly more difficult as Kaguya and Miyuki find themselves falling more in love with one another as time passes. At present, a fourth season hasn't been confirmed so it will be interesting to see if this upcoming film will be the grand finale of the series or if the battle of wits will continue in the future.

Love Is War Hits The Big Screen

Aniplex of America used its Official Twitter Account to confirm that the upcoming Kaguya-Sama movie would hit both the United States and Canada next February, while also sharing new holiday outfits for the two young romantics who continue their mind games with one another: 

If you have yet to dive into this popular romantic comedy, you can check out the first three seasons of Kaguya-Sama: Love Is War on Crunchyroll, with the streaming service sharing the following official description of the series: 

"From a good family? Check! A good personality? Check! Shuchiin Academy is where all these elite students with bright futures flock to. As the two leaders of the student council, Kaguya Shinomiya and Miyuki Shirogane have supposedly fallen in love... But after almost half a year, nothing has happened!? They both have too much pride and can't be honest. Things have gotten troublesome, and they are now caught in a war of 'How to get the other to confess their love first.' This is a whole new romantic comedy, following an outbreak of cunning warfare between two elite students in love."
