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 to the other's "true self".

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 major problem standing in the way of romantic bliss: they're both too proud to be the first to confess their romantic feelings, thus becoming the "losers" in the love competition! And so begins their daily schemes to force the other to confess first!

Thus, Kaguya received an anime adaptation 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. This year's 31st issue of Shueisha's Young Jump magazine revealed on June 30 that the manga would end with 14 chapters.
