 A second anime season for Aka Akasaka's Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen (Kaguya-sama: Love is War) manga was announced at the Yanjan Bunka Matsuri event on Saturday. The new season will air under the title Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai? Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen. The official website also revealed a teaser visual (pictured) and announcement promo.Synopsis At the renowned Shuchiin Academy, Miyuki Shirogane and Kaguya Shinomiya are the student body's top representatives. Ranked the top student in the nation and respected by peers and mentors alike, Miyuki serves as the student council president. Alongside him, the vice president Kaguya—eldest daughter of the wealthy Shinomiya family—excels in every field imaginable. They are the envy of the entire student body, regarded as the perfect couple. However, despite both having already developed feelings for the other, neither are willing to admit them. The first to confess loses, will be looked down upon, and will be considered the lesser. With their honor and pride at stake, Miyuki and Kaguya are both equally determined to be the one to emerge victorious on the battlefield of love! [Written by MAL Rewrite] Returning staff members for the second season include director Shinichi Omata (Mamoru Hatakeyama), series composer Yasuhiro Nakanishi, character designer Yuuko Yahiro, music composer Kei Haneoka, and animation studio A-1 Pictures. The four lead cast members will also reprise their roles. Akasaka launched the manga in Miracle Jump magazine in May 2015, which subsequently switched to Young Jump in March 2016. Shueisha published the 16th volume on September 19. Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai has a cumulative 8 million copies of its compiled volumes in circulation. A-1 Pictures produced the first anime season in Winter 2019, roughly adapting the first five volumes. Aniplex of America licensed the anime and streamed it on Crunchyroll, Funimation, and Hulu. VIZ Media licensed the main series in English under its Shonen Jump imprint in February 2018 and published the tenth volume on September 3. The 11th volume is scheduled for a November 5 release. Shinta Sakayama (Hitsugi no Chaika) launched the Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Doujin-ban spin-off in June 2018. A second spin-off by G3 Ida, Kaguya-sama wo Kataritai, began its serialization in Young Jump last July. Shueisha shipped the second and first volume of the spin-offs on March 19, respectively. A live-action film adaptation opened in Japan on September 6, starring Shou Hirano (Ninjani Sanjo! Mirai e no Tatakai) as Miyuki Shirogane and Kanna Hashimoto (Gintama) as Kaguya Shinomiya. Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai ranked first in the Comics category at the 3rd Tsugi ni Kuru Manga Taisho in August 2017, a joint award by Kadokawa's Da Vinci literature magazine and streaming platform Niconico.

It'll begin in just an hour and a half from now. In case you aren't aware of other live streams: 1) Here's one that's currently on at the moment (Goblin Slayer currently): https://youtu.be/WoQfGAbHsc4 2) Fantasia Bunko early tomorrow (in 14 hours): https://youtu.be/4enYGCSeM5M Edit: I'm sorry I didn't the last bit of your message. 2020 is indeed looking even better than 2019 now! |

| I was really sad when they didn't announce a S2 after the last episode , but here it is . |
| I liked the first season, so I will watch it. |
 |
Great news. But remember one thing... |

| I'm so unbelievably happy for these news. After the extremely successful LA I expected them to wait out its run to announce anything further for the IP but to suddenly wake up only to see S2 announced just like that, nothing could've prepared me for it. And most importantly....Hatakeyama & the crew are back for it. They are the reason why they were able to take an already successful and critically acclaimed manga & elevate it to new heights in a completely new medium. I'm pumped. |
| Nice |
 |
| To a surprise of no one and delight to many. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| That is indeed, really great news. (Gimme more Chika dance plz) |
| Great news! Can't wait to see Iino! And the best moment to be animated! <3 Hayasaka |
 |
| One of the series where it was pretty much given that S2 would come around sooner or later. Still gotta say that I'm pleasantly surprised because I didn't have this on my radar at all lately. |

| In short .... YAY!!! The first season did a great job of adapting the manga, so looking forward to seeing how further parts turn out! |
 |
| This is great news. Hyped. |
 |
| Wow!that's great news.I'm looking forward. |
| "When they're alive, you can enjoy watching them struggle. When they're dead, you can enjoy tearing out their guts. Tales are things you get to enjoy twice." |
| YES! Can’t wait to watch it, hopefully it’s just as good or even better than the first season. |
 |
| Well that's a good news for them. |
 |
| Great! More bakaguya is always welcome. |
| Ahh this is great news! Can't wait. |
| weirdly enough, a lot of people were saying that it won't be getting a s2. welp, looking forward seeing more kaguya greatness |

| Not surprising but took long enough, I keep bitching but I think this needs to be 2 cour or things are gonna be very awkward with how they may chose to adapt things cause they REALLY cant skip stuff this time, s1 had the benefit of the first 10 chapters being negligible and the manga being alot simpler back then, pretty much right after fireworks is when the series really starts having a stronger continuity, still got a fair amount of one off moments but still way harder to skip stuff......also i just dont want them to skip stuff theres like 2 unfunny chapters in the 165+ chapters and ongoing we got now. And fucking finally fanart of the main cast is gonna stop looking so incomplete. Wonder whose gonna voice Iino, going off of the other characters its probably gonna be a relatively new actress I imagine? |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Good! Another romcom to watch next year. |
| This definitely made my fucking day! |

| Fantastic news, can't wait. |
 |
| Maybe I'll actually try to sit through the first season now. Probably not, but maybe. |
| Yeah more of our Ishigami boi |
| 2020 is already looking to be a promising year of anime, and now with the announcement of the second season of Kaguya-Sama: Love Is War, 2020 is looking even better now! ^_^ |
| delicious finally some good fucking announcements |
✧ |
| great news wooooooo |
 I don't watch as much anime as before... |
| Nice! I figured this was going to get more but it's nice to see it officially happening. Season 1 really surprised me. At first I thought it wasn't going to be very good but it just kept getting better. |
