Kaguya Sama: Love is War is set to receive a new anime movie centering on the “The First Kiss Never Ends Arc” following the events of season 3.

The movie is titled Kaguya sama wa Kokurasetai: First Kiss wa Owaranai (Kaguya-sama: Love is War: The First Kiss Never Ends)

The new anime movie, also the first ever anime movie for the series, will be released around Christmas this year.

Like the previous seasons, A-1 Pictures will be in charge of animating the movie. A-1 Picutes’ producer Kenshiro Yamada said that the events of arc in question will only take up about two hours of screen time and it made sense for it to be made into a movie.

The key cast from previous seasons will be returning to reprise their role in the movie. Character Designer and animation director Yuko Yahiro too is set to return as a staff member for the upcoming Kaguya Sama movie.

It was earlier confirmed by the official website that Kaguya Sama would be getting a new anime project. However, no further information was revealed.
