Kaguya-sama: Love Is War has already confirmed what the mysterious announcement at the end of season three was. The franchise has been in the news a lot lately, with confirmation that the manga is ending this year, as well as a well-received third season that has surpassed Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood's long-held number one spot on MyAnimeList.

Kaguya-sama: Love Is War is a romantic comedy showcasing an overly dramatic cat-and-mouse game between the two protagonists, Miyuki Shirogane and Kaguya Shinomiya, who are persistent in forcing the other protagonist to admit their love for each other first. Miyuki Shirogane and Kaguya Shinomiya are both the top student body representatives, and often the other representatives get roped into their shenanigans.

Funimation has licensed the English dub, and the manga reached over 15 million copies sold in April of last year. The manga began in 2015 in Shueisha's Miracle Jump, but was transferred to Young Jump in 2016. The 26th volume was just released last month, on June 17. The third season also ended with an hour-long episode last month as well, which is where the mysterious announcement was made.

The mysterious announcement has been confirmed to be a film titled, in English, Kaguya-sama: Love is War: The First Kiss Never Ends. It is both confirmed to take place directly after the third season and is based on the arc of the manga with the same name, so the events of the movie will be easy to predict. This, as well as the following information, has been confirmed through the official Kaguya-sama: Love Is War Twitter account.

The Kaguya-sama: Love Is War film will air in theaters before being released to television and streaming, however it is not confirmed if theater releases will be at the same time as international audiences or if they will receive an international theatrical release at all. There is also at this time no confirmed release date, however, it will be released sometime next year in 2023.

This gives manga readers plenty of time to catch up before the film premieres, which is currently serializing and will be ending in October as long as there are no hitches. This also gives enough time for anime watchers to catch up on all three seasons of the anime before the film premieres.

Kaguya-sama: Love Is War is currently airing on Crunchyroll, Funimation, and Hulu.
