"Kaguya-Sama: Love is War" was one of the anime adaptations that debuted for the first time earlier this year. The series concluded in spring, and it has been months without any official word about the release of "Kaguya-Sama: Love is War" season 2. Naturally, this silence from the producers is making the fans nervous that there will not be an anime sequel.

'Kaguya-Sama: Love is War' season 2 announcement: Is it happening this year?

As mentioned, "Kaguya-Sama: Love is War" season 2 has yet to be announced. However, the franchise is still active with the manga series still having new chapters while a movie is confirmed to premiere next month.

Over the years, it has been apparent that newcomers in the anime industry tend to be introduced through the release of animated or live-action movies. Back in February, it was announced that a live-action film based on the manga is going to be released in September, while it was filmed from March to April. This could be a hint that the franchise is set to have new installments in other forms of media in the coming year, which might also include "Kaguya-Sama: Love is War" season 2.

It is then quite possible that "Kaguya-Sama: Love is War" season 2 will be announced after the release of the live-action film. Unfortunately, this is mere speculation and fans should take it with a pinch of salt. On the other hand, the making of a film and the continuation of the manga are also two positive signs that the anime still has a chance to continue as well.

‘Kaguya-Sama: Love is War’ season 2 production: Blu-ray disc sales offer hope

In the TV industry, the most important factor in determining a show’s renewal or cancellation are the ratings and viewership. But in the anime world, the sales of Blu-ray discs also matters greatly. In this case, there might still be a chance for "Kaguya-Sama: Love is War" season 2 to be released.

The first season concluded in late March, and the compilation of the 12-episode installment was released on Blu-ray shortly after. Fans celebrated when it was reported that it sold 4,091 copies within five days. Viewers hoping to see "Kaguya-Sama: Love is War" season 2 get released believe that was a good number and could convince producers to renew the series.
