Kaguya-sama: Love Is War Anime Kaguya Shinomiya’s Happy Birthday and Happy New Year Visual

Studio A-1 Pictures is animating Kaguya-sama Love Is War anime based on Aka Akasaka’s romantic comedy manga of the same name, which came to an end in early November 2022 in Shueisha’s Weekly Young Jump magazine. The manga has a total of 28 volumes. The first season of the TV anime aired from January to March 2019, the second season from April to June 2021, and the third from April to June 2022, and the manga-inspired live-action film adaptations.

The official website introduces Kaguya-sama: Love Is War – First Kiss That Never Ends as:
A special yet normal Christmas awaits these two souls. Frozen hearts melt into the snowless Tokyo skies. A homecoming for this love comedy.
Shuchiin Academy’s student council room – the place where Vice President Kaguya Shinomiya and Student Council President Miyuki Shirogane met. After a long battle in love, these two geniuses communicated their feelings and, at the Hoshin Festival, had their very first kiss. However, there was no clear confession. The relationship between these two, who assumed they would be a couple, remains ambiguous. Now, overly conscious of their feelings, they must face the biggest challenge yet – Christmas. “It’s Shirogane who wants it to be perfect versus Kaguya who pursues the imperfect situation. This is the very “normal” love story of two geniuses and the first kiss that never ends.
