Valentine’s Day at Shuchiin Academy went without a hitch to the surprise of many fans. The stress-free installment, as Aka Akasaka described, somehow makes avid readers a little worried about “Kaguya-sama: Love Is War” chapter 196 where all the unreleased drama and twists could explode.
‘Kaguya-sama: Love Is War’ chapter 196 spoilers: Third semester begins likely with twists and drama
The “Kaguya-sama: Love Is War” series has always been about the battle of wits between Miyuki and Kaguya, as well as among other supporting characters. So it was understandable if some fans expected some crazy plot twists to take place during the two-part Valentine’s Day, but nothing happened. Even series creator Akasaka took note of it saying in chapter 195, “Sometimes, it’s just nice to have a stress-free day. No drama, no twists.”
However, the feel-good chapter and Akasaka’s message do not seem to be enough to calm down fans. Many of them say that if they learned anything from following this series for quite some time, it would be to expect a storm after a stress-free installment. This then leads to some theories that all the drama and twists taken away from the Valentine’s Day chapter could all be poured into “Kaguya-sama: Love Is War” chapter 196.
Akasaka hinted at the “Kaguya-sama: Love Is War” chapter 196 being the start of the third semester. Other than that, there is no specific indication of what will happen next in Shuchiin. But if fans were to guess, one of the likely sources of friction right now could involve Hayasaka.
After getting relieved of her duties as Kaguya’s servant, she is now free to do what she wants including pursuing a friendship with Miyuki. Chapter 195 was crucial for Miyuki and Hayasaka as they formally became friends, but some readers cannot help but wonder if this is the last stop for these characters’ connection. But it is best to just enjoy the relationships these three have just built for themselves and worry about the drama as they unfold.
‘Kaguya-sama: Love Is War’ chapter 196 release date
Now comes the hard part -- the waiting for “Kaguya-sama: Love Is War” chapter 196 as fans face another break. The start of Shuchiin’s third semester was supposed to happen later this week, but the brief hiatus has moved the next chapter’s release to Thursday, July 30. Those who love spoilers can expect them to start spreading online a few days before the said release date.
