The winter 2019 anime adaptation of the Kaguya-sama: Love is War manga did well enough in combination with the live-action film as a second season of the anime has been green-lit. The anime side has the main staff and cast returning and now we know that it’s being set for an April 2020 debut thanks to a teaser video through the official site that you can see below.

Plot Concept: Kaguya Shinomiya and Miyuki Shirogane are two geniuses who stand atop their prestigious academy’s student council, making them the elite among elite. But it’s lonely at the top and each has fallen for the other. There’s just one huge problem standing in the way of lovey-dovey bliss-they’re both too prideful to be the first to confess their romantic feelings and thus become the ‘loser’ in the competition of love! And so begins their daily schemes to force the other to confess first!
