Aka is completely desperate?

how is more kaguya a bad thing

@Hitagi__Furude since you've read the manga... can you tell by the visual from what chapter they're adapting? Are they possibly skipping chapters after the movie?

@baymaxemon

Either...

@Hitagi__Furude I heard that they framed the movie as a sort of finale to the anime because it didn't do as well as they wanted and they felt that continuing the anime would be unprofitable. So, if it's not a continuation of the adaptation, then it's literally just fanservice to get attention? It's kind of funny considering he announced that he had no plans to return to Kaguya's characters in the future or even delayed the third season of Oshi no Ko by a year.

@RobertBobert

Most likely...

Thats what they did after the 2nd season...

They released a short a few months after the 2nd season to see if its still profitable...& we can assume it did at that time...

For this...

Its the same idea...

& if its not profitable...

Then we can bet this is the last entry of the series...

@Hitagi__Furude Well, I don't know if Aka read what people wrote about Kaguya after the ending of Oshi no Ko, but it seems like despite his edgy ambitions, even he himself actually admitted that Kaguya was his magnum opus.

@RobertBobert

Really unfortunate for this manga to fall off...after the movie...

Considering there are still good chapters beyond it...

Unfortunately...

Its few & far & between...

If they do make a new season...

I hope they just adapt the good ones & forget everything else...

what are you even writing about? Aka doesn't adapt his own work to anime and it's not his decision which of his mangas are adapted and when the adaptations will come out.

@Hitagi__Furude If speculation that the third season of Oshi no Ko was delayed due to the manga ending were true, then this could explain the attempts to divert attention to Kaguya.

@Artur_Moreira The committee obviously can't function without the author of the original work. Especially when the anime gets an unexpected special after so many years of silence. When even Aka himself was vocal about not making sequels or spin-offs about the characters. Also, I don't know where you got the information about the success of the live action Oshi no Ko, the creators literally admitted its failure and even wrote an apology about it with reflections on the reasons for the failure.

I don't think there's any point in talking about why after two years of hugely popular seasons, you suddenly get a year-long break for the third after the manga's controversial ending, which is perceived as a delay. Oshi no Ko was undoubtedly a hit, but that's what became fatal for author when people saw the ending it got.

I think you're vastly overestimating how much influence a manga author has over adaptations of their work. Their approval is necessary for adaptations to happen, but they can't make it happen if it wasn't already going to. Making an anime requires the work of dozens if not hundreds of people with multiple stages of approval. I also very much doubt he had anything to do with the "delay" in Oshi no Ko, because I doubt it was a delay at all. It seems more likely that it was approved for two cours in the first place, then after it was a success they greenlit a third season.

@RobertBobert "The committee obviously can't function without the author of the original work"

Wrong, of course it works. Like I said, you don’t know what you’re talking about, so stay quiet.

Most anime adaptations don’t even involve the original author in any meaningful way. Once they agree to an adaptation and sign the royalties contract, they no longer have any real decision-making power. At most, they might participate as active or passive consultants, clarifying aspects of the work for the anime team. Beyond that, they have zero authority. (And being consulted isn’t the same as having decision power.)

And you saying “they made a special after he asked them not to do something” doesn’t prove your point. It actually proves my point: that the author has no control over anything.

Also, I don’t know where you got that information about the Oshi no Ko live-action, but it’s either false or you’re completely misinterpreting it.

@kta_99 I'll repeat myself again, just remember how a whole series of anime didn't get a sequel because of the author, or what a huge scandal happened when one manga was adapted without the author.

@RobertBobert Did you even read what I wrote?

Compared to Oshi no Ko, Kaguya was a masterpiece and people exaggerate how much fall off there is in the final arc. It's solid.

Damn, I thought that would be it after the movie. From all the rom-coms I’ve seen thus far, Kaguya-sama is at the bottom of the list for me. So I’ll be passing on this. I’m just not a fan of Akasaka-sensei’s work.

@kta_99 The anime adaptation of Kaguya was officially finished after the movie, even with an interview about how they framed the movie as the ending for certain reasons.

@RobertBobert You keep just spouting non sequiturs without actually responding to anything I say.

Not as deseprate as you trying to stir up drama all by yourself ignoring people who actually gave valid input while pretending like you are giving meaningful response when you are not.

That's not true.

The authors are asked to give the rights to permit an adaptation, and they either accept or refuse, that's all. Some production will ask them for their inputs and opinions on the adaptation, or even their direct supervision, but that's very rare, and is generally done only for expected hit. That's why things like fillers or authors being disappointed in the product exist.

For Kaguya-sama, Aka stated he participated in meetings, and gave feedbacks, of which a few were kept. Nothing indicate he was involved in the Oshi no Ko, tho.



Do you have sources for these claims ?

I believe Aka stated after he finished Kaguya-sama that he wanted to reveal a few more things later on.

As for the Oshi no Ko Live-Action, the series literally became #1 all time on Amazon Japan, and while the Movie did not so bad, they were expecting a hit like the series, which did not happen. Dunno about the apology too, i can only find a sentence about the regret of not successfully translating the popularity of the series into box-office for the Movie.



I mean, you can theorize all you want, the staff already had 4 Animes planned for 2025 during the airing of the 2nd Season. If there was a delay, it's because the producers want the same staff, for hopefully the same quality.

Dunno, seems like you have a grudge against the Author more than anything else, there.

@kta_99 An unsubstantiated accusation will not become an argument just because you used a Latin name from rhetoric for it.

@RobertBobert Fine, then I'll put it in plain English: The replies you've made to me in this thread haven't actually responded to what I've said. Now, given that what I've been trying to say has been stated clearly by both myself and others, I'm bowing out of this conversation.

I think this will adapt the manga. Can any manga readers confirm? What arc?

@Djwhy I think its the part where Miyuki was preparing to go to university( abroad ).

As a manga reader...

I can tell you after the movie..

Or shall i say a few chapters after the movie...

The manga fall off...HARD!!!

There are still good chapters sprinkled here & there like ABC & some...

But beyond that...

Its not worth your time...

Yep...

I can say Aka is desperate...

@Tanish_k Thank you, is it directly after the first kiss arc or is it later

@Hitagi__Furude Well.. the thing is that the second half of the manga doesn't focus much on Romantic comedy theme, not as much as the first half. Aka himself quoted so in a note before the story went in that direction. The most impactful arc which I remember which takes place after the movie is Yu ishigami and Tsubame arc. That arc made me feel the most. It wasn't much of an arc and more like a few chapters but it was good. Apart from that it was mostly about Kaguya's family problems. So, if one considers the rom-com theme then yeah, it fell off. But, in a general way it was good. Atleast I think so.

@Tanish_k Judging by comments or even some hints from Aka afterwards, the fact that the manga ran out of steam in the last third was simply because he thought the story had reached its logical end and wanted to finish the work, but the editors persuaded him to continue and he simply lost interest. Considering the rumors that Oshi no Ko was originally supposed to be very short and not include all these life-affirming things that later came into conflict with the intended ending, this made sense. If you don't think about Oshi no Ko, then Kaguya's ending is quite fine.

@WaterMage They're completely different works, but few people could read Kaguya without thinking about Oshi no Ko after all that crap with the ending. Even I went through that, although I still love the title.

Hold on, you think the manga author is the one who controls when they make seasons of an anime?

I mean yes, I would assume he would have some control over it, but the author is definitely not a big decision maker when it comes to the "when" of new seasons being adapted. I don't think you should assume anything about the author with news like this, since he is barely a factor when it comes to decisions like this.
