The romantic comedy manga was first serialized in Shueisha’s Miracle Jump from May 2015 to January 2016, then moved to the publisher’s Weekly Young Jump and ran from March 2016 to November 2022. Its TV anime adaptation was aired for three seasons from 2019 to 2022, and its new feature Kaguya-sama: Love Is War – The First Kiss That Never Ends was released in Japan last Saturday, December 17. Moreover, two live-action films were released in 2019 and 2021, and both did very well at the Japanese box office.
To commemorate the release of the manga’s final volume, Young Jump’s official YouTube channel is now streaming a five-minute special PV. The clip was filmed in all directions utilizing a micro drone on location at the school building, and the famous scenes from the manga are introduced one after another with nostalgic music.
