The film adaptation of Kaguya-sama: Love is War -The First Kiss Never Ends- has received its first trailer. Additionally, the video reveals its release date as December 17, 2022 in Japanese theaters.
It was also revealed that a 25-minute preview will be shared during a panel at the Anime NYC convention on November 19th. The panel will feature Aoi Koga (voice of Kaguya Shinomiya) and anime producers Yuichiro Kikuchi and Tatsuya Ishikawa.
The project is a direct continuation of the third season, as it coincides with the title of the arc in question, affectionately known as the "Ice Kaguya Arc," where Kaguya Shinomiya and Miyuki Shirogane decide to "take off their masks" and show that they truly love each other's "true selves.".
Synopsis:
Anything goes when love is war! Two geniuses. Two brains. Two hearts. One battle. Who will confess their love first…?! Kaguya Shinomiya and Miyuki Shirogane are two geniuses who sit atop the student council of their prestigious academy, making them the elite among the elite. But it's lonely at the top, and each has fallen for the other. There's just one big problem standing in the way of their romantic happiness – both are too proud to be the first to confess their feelings and thus become the "losers" in the love competition! And so begins their daily schemes to force the other to confess first!
Therefore, Kaguya was adapted into an anime and premiered in January 2019 with 12 episodes, becoming a huge success among otaku audiences. In April 2020, a second season aired in Japan, followed by an OVA in 2021. The third season (Ultra Romantic) of the series premiered on April 9, 2022.
Finally, the manga entered its final arc in October 2021. The 31st issue of this year's Young Jump magazine from Shueisha revealed on June 30th that the manga would end with 14 chapters.
