As the title says: were there any rumors or official announcements about Season 4?

From what I read, manga is way ahead of anime, so adapting more chapters into an anime shouldn't be a problem. The main thing is how big are the chances for Chihayafuru to get next Season rather fast, without the need to wait several years which happened between 2nd and 3rd season.

Nope. So many studios are having a hard time securing funding these days. I hope this gets a season 4 but I don;t want to wait years to get it. I may actually have to start reading the manga.

I've heard the manga is close to completion, so maybe they announce a season 4 to finish adapting it, but nothing concrete

There is 233 chapters out currently and they seem to adapt 2 chapters an episode. I don't think there is enough for a 5th season but definitely more than enough for a 4th.

I'll gladly take a S4 next year and wait longer for S5 in that case. Quality and pacing has been very nice.

Yep. 223* so far. Not enough for a 5th season yet, but soon enough there'll be content for it. They sometimes adapt 2 and a half chapters per episode, so I think Madhouse would go for a 2-cour 4th and 2-cour 5th season after the manga ends. That is, if they can...

But Madhouse already said that Chihayafuru is a very special adaptation to them, so we just gotta, like, wish real hard lol

Yep, just like the others have already noted, nothing concrete just yet, according to the Creator.

#ちはやふる3 は来週の24首で最終回。その先のことはまだ何も決まってなくて、4期なんて誰も口にしていないのですが、23首までの【しっかり原作に則ってあの子たちを描く】という浅香監督の執念を見ると、4期ないなんて済まないんじゃ…と思えてくるのです。
みんなに見て貰えたら未来が広がります。

Rough translation:

Chihayafuru 3 will end next week with the 24th episode. Nothing has been decided yet, and no one mentioned season 4 so far; until episode 23, looking at Director Asaka rigor to "Faithfully adapt the source material to draw these kids", I think that it would be regrettable if there were no season 4 [need to revert the order with the "I think" or "rather the thought comes" after the suspension marks].
If everyone wanted to see it happen the chances would improve. [literally, "the future will expand"]

By the way, I have not seen a single episode yet to avoid the wait, can't hope for next week!

Too bad there is no concrete information about Season 4, although it wouldn't be unwise to have a small spark of hope that some information might be revealed soon. If not by the end of episode 24, then maybe shortly after, haha.

@MetaKite , from what I read this season will end around chapter 150, so there are a lot of chapters to be adapted into anime format. I would say for a whole Season 4 with 24-25 episodes and Season 5 with 12 episodes (if the manga is really close to its end).

@Meusnier , thanks for translating it. :) I hope we will have officiall announcement of Season 4 soon, or maybe by the end of Season 3.

Oh yes, Mahheim and @Adnash93. When I say season, I'm thinking at least 24 episodes. I don't think anybody would feel satisfied with just 12 episodes no matter how much we'd appreciate it and take anything we can get. If there is a 5th season, it will no doubt run all the way to the series' end. I'm dreading next week because it will be the last episode for a while.

You're welcome シ. It might be nice if they said at the end of the last episode that there would be another season, but I fear that for this kind of unpopular licenses, the chances are slim.

Well, if Chihayafuru got a third season after so many years, it's pretty sure that a 4th season is coming, and with it a full adaptation (It's very unlikely that they would stop the adaptation being that far in the manga). No one knows the future, we can't take anything for granted, but for Chihayafuru, the future shines with a beautiful strength.

I have nothing against if Season 4 would have 24 episodes, and Season 5 - as the final one - only 12 episodes if that amount would be enough to cover remaining manga chapters that were not adapted. Of course assuming that manga is indeed close to its end right now and there will be enough chapters to make at least 12 episodes of its anime adaptation dedicated for final chapters.

I might do what you mentioned some posts ago about Chihayafuru manga. If we will have to wait years for another season, then I might consider starting reading its manga as well. ;-)

@mafd12 , I would love to hear some news, but there is also that grim feeling that there is a chance (and it is, indeed) of having to wait longer than one year for another season. :( As @Meusnier mentioned before, with that kind of unpopular title who has its small, but faithful fanbase, it's nothing certain whether we will see another Season. I think it will be created one day for sure, especially when there is enough source material to cover a whole season of an anime adaptation, but the question is "when?".
