On Sunday, June 28, 2025, the official website and X (formerly Twitter) account of the celebrated rom-com anime series shared a key visual. They announced the production of a new Kaguya-sama: Love Is War anime project. According to the announcement, the series is called Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Otona e no Kaidan, which translates to Kaguya-sama Love Is War: The Steps to Become an Adult.

This announcement featured a key visual featuring Kaguya Shinomiya, Miyuki Shirogane, Ai Hayasaka, Chika Fujiwara, Yuu Ishigami, and Miko Iino. Interestingly, the background features a runaway, with an airplane taking off, implying the series might show the main cast going off somewhere. Kaguya appears slightly worried in the visual, while Miyuki exhibits a nonchalant look.

Aside from the visual, the official staff hasn't made any further announcements, such as the release date of the new Kaguya-sama: Love Is War anime, the cast, or the plot. Yet, the previous cast members might reprise their roles in this project.

Aoi Koga voiced Kaguya Shinomiya in the previous seasons, with Makoto Furukawa as Miyuki. Konomi Kohara voiced Chika, while Miyu Tomita played Miko. Yumiri Hanamori lent her voice to Ai, while Ryota Suzuki played Yuu Ishigami.

Moreover, fans should also note that the new Kaguya-sama: Love Is War anime is not the fourth season but a new TV project. As they would remember, the series's third installment released 13 episodes from April 2022 to June 2022.

While a movie titled Kaguya-sama: Love Is War - The First Kiss That Never Ends- was released following season 3, no information on a fourth season was made. As such, whether the staff will announce a fourth season following this special television anime project remains to be seen.
