With the conclusion of season 3, Kaguya and Miyuki have gotten together. Which is inherently a significant romantic development that should push the show beyond just having "romantic subtext."

And even if you can justify it for the anime somehow, they've been dating for like the last 3 years in the manga and "deepened" their relationship multiple times during that period. If the manga doesn't count as being a romance, then you're going to have a tough time convincing me that anything else does.

Edit: So that I don't have to explain it again, I want to be very clear that I am complaining that MAL doesn't have Romance listed one of Kaguya-sama's genres when it absolutely should.

Kaguya is one of the most memorable/well-known romances that aired post 2018. I think it's already on its way there.


My biggest regret: Reading all 200+ chapters of Kanojo, Okarishimasu

I guess but season 1 and 2 are in the top 100 so I wouldn't say it's been underestimated by MAL. edit* my bad, s2 is in the top 100 not s1.

I'm not saying that it's underrated, I'm saying that MAL doesn't have Romance as one of Kaguya-sama's genres, and instead has it just tagged as having the "romantic subtext" theme.

oh well it definitely should now considering the ending, I don't really see the point in the "romantic subtext" category to be completely honest.

I feel like S4 will be in the romance category, not this season, since for the most part all the romancey thingos happen in next season stuff and not in this one.

If Hataraku Maou-sama!, Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka, and bloody Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun all somehow qualify for the Romance genre, then Kaguya-sama has just as much if not more reason to also be included.

I feel like all of those should be in Romantic Subtext as well, and let romance be for full on romance.

" Open-ended romantic endings are only acceptable when the work is an incomplete adaptation of a Romance source."

Going by this part of MAL's definition of Romance, I think every season of Kaguya-sama should be in the Romance Genre as the manga they are adapted from meets the qualifications.

Neither the anime nor manga are currently tagged as being in the Romance genre.

I dunno, I think romantic comedy is different than pure romance or romantic drama.
I haven't read the manga so I don't know what direction is this taking but in general the show is way more comedy than romance even if most of the comedy is created around the premise of making the other confess.

Noooooooooooooooooooooo !!!!

"Romantic Subtext" is such a great thematic description, it fits the show perfectly and sets it apart from the run-of-the-mill romances.

It's neither a seinen nor a romance and absolutely not a psychological show, it's just a school gag comedy for teens with glimpses of romance that is mostly there for creating more comedic moments.

For it to be considered romance i guess it has to have real dates and a decent amount of kissing, hugging, proposals, love triangles etc. Makes sense saying that it has romantic subtext since it does but was not the main focus Until now, i think future seasons Will have romance category. Tags give the main focuses of the shows, Someone seeing romance tag would be maybe misleaded and expect a lot of kissing and ishigami and president fighting over kaguya with violence, hayasaka fujiwara and kaguya fighting over one of them (you know, tipical drama romance anime /not rly my style) when none of that happens

Well, the manga runs in a seinen magazine and is a story about Kagauya and Miyuki's romance, so it is objectively a seinen and a romance.

The manga has all (if not most) of those things, and therefore should have the Romance genre tag. And as the anime doesn't fully adapt the manga, it should also meet the conditions to be tagged as Romance.

"Open-ended romantic endings are only acceptable when the work is an incomplete adaptation of a Romance source."

Also, if we're using this rather stringent requirement, I'd have to call into question why shows like Toradora, Your Lie in April, and The Pet Girl of Sakurasou are allowed in the Romance club.

What a shit argument.

If you had it your way the genre tags would have 50 different tags. There’s a haunted house in season 3. Are you gonna make a post going “why doesn’t kaguya have a horror tag ;-;”

Seriously. The show isn’t labeled incorrectly. If you want to fix it quit crying and contact MAL directly. Nobody really pays that much attention to shit like that.

1. Being a cunt is only becoming of people that are right and also responding to people that are also cunts.

2. Pretending the anime somehow doesn't qualify for a hot second, the manga absolutely does meet any reasonable qualifications for being considered a Romance. And MAL has a nice little clause that states that incomplete adaptions of source material that are Romances, are also Romances.

3. If we aren't going to count Kaguya-sama, then a lot of anime currently tagged as Romance probably shouldn't be either. For example, Toradora, The Pet Girl of Sakurasou, Your Lie in April, Kaichou wa Maid-sama, Nisekoi, Ouran High School Host Club. The Irregular at Magic High School, ReLIFE, Prison School, Monthly Girl's Nozaki-kun (which doesn't belong there anyways, but whatever), Masamune-kun's Revenge, Spice & Wolf, My Dress Up Darling, Accel World, Kiznaviver, and Asterisk War.

4. Well golly gee willickers, if I would have know that was a possibility, I would have done it. Maybe, you could have opened with that one instead of being a cunt and wasting both our time.

Dunno why one of the highest rated manga's tags haven't been verified yet. It should definitely count as Romance.

Did you read the original post? This has nothing to do with popularity, because I'm complaining that Kaguya-sama doesn't have the romance genre tag.

And the "cool kids" would be literally everything else that has the romance tag despite having less reason for it than Kaguya-sama.
