Congratulations on the sex, Kaguya and Shirogane!

actionfirst12025-12-31 21:17

I love how realistic it was portrayed too. Before you lose your virginity in your mind you think about all the beautiful situations that can come with it; the where, how, when, but then it happens because it just happened naturally. I'm really glad Miyuki was willing to wait until Kaguya was more prepared but that only ended up making it come sooner, lol. Beautiful and romantic in its realistic and simple portrayal.

&nbsp;

And Papa Shirogane was the real MVP here. Showing he knew exactly what was going on and deciding to continue the rave until noon the next day. What would it take to party with the legend, I need to know.

Emi_Ibarazakiii2026-01-01 10:01

> Before you lose your virginity in your mind you think about all the beautiful situations that can come with it; the where, how, when, but then it happens because it just happened naturally.

100%.

Some people might see it happening in this or that way, but truth is, most of the time it just so happens just like that, because they're both in love or horny or both and just so happen to do it!

flybypost2026-01-04 22:55

> I love how realistic it was portrayed too.

And on top of being so realistic it also went against every known anime/manga romance cliche. It was just so *normal* which is not something one would necessarily expect from this series.

> Showing he knew exactly what was going on

He knew before they knew!

> What would it take to party with the legend, I need to know.

From how he talked about it: A better trained liver.

These two sweet dumbasess have come a long way from the start of season 1 episode 1. Congrats, Kaguya and Miyuki!

shad792025-12-31 22:07

Yeah, [Kaguya](https://imgchest.com/p/wl7lw8aox4x) and [Miyuki](https://imgchest.com/p/9p4nzav854n) have definitely come a long way, but thanks to that, [they're such a great couple now](https://imgchest.com/p/qb4zpb5nlyj)! It's a shame though that we're already saying goodbye to them :(

sodapopkevin2026-01-01 07:16

Looks like we'll be getting at least one more film/final series of episodes with the "Final Chapter" mentioned at the very end.

Bakadestroyerr2026-01-02 13:08

All good things come to an end. I am just glad that this masterpiece exists!

Sea-Objective79432025-12-31 16:43

Wait what platform it's came

itsconsolefreaked2025-12-31 16:47

Can't find it anywhere either. So weirs. Guess il have to check one arghhh site where it uploads daily

BraveSirRobinGG2025-12-31 18:05

I see it now. It is under the main Kaguya anime, in a season called "Stairway to Adulthood"

Cill_Bipher2025-12-31 16:54

It's on crunchyroll

kaori_cicak9902025-12-31 16:51

??? New season of kaguya?? Damm why the airing of kaguya sama after season 3 so hard to follow.

They're adapted continuation into OVA then whatever it is?

No promotion at all?

omarous_III2025-12-31 18:23

It is just a two part special. Not a new season. Although a new original movie was just announced.

kaori_cicak9902025-12-31 18:33

Man is it A1 pic got stucked with the ora of oergairu having extending OVA into ending?

Its not even 2010 s era man people already hard to follow their backlog.

What the heck A1 pic thinking?

South252025-12-31 19:45

Basically this OVA adapts the last few major bits of Kaguya and Shirogane's relationship up to the ending while the movie's gonna be a new canon story with them as adults.

So we skipped a bit ahead and some arcs tied to some characters like Hayasaka, Ishigami, Iino and crew for now aren't getting animated, also doesn't include the final arc which fans are a bit mixed on.

notanfan2025-12-31 16:55

Wait what

notanfan2025-12-31 16:55

Did they just shadow drop 2 episodes?

luceafaruI2025-12-31 18:11

This special has been announced since last year, it's just that there hasn't been much movement from the community to promote it so everybody knows about it

omarous_III2025-12-31 18:18

Yeah, I knew it was coming...I just didn't realize it was today.

DugACCat2025-12-31 22:51

I’d somehow missed seeing this was coming so was quite surprised. But enjoyed it very much. Just fantastic from start to end. So fun and heartfelt. I am a little annoyed the sex was spoiled for me by stupidly watching a reaction vid after watching the first ep that I thought covered the same (rather than both). Whoops! But didn’t really matter.

Yotsubato2026-01-01 04:18

Yeah I got spoiled by a TikTok lol

Emi_Ibarazakiii2026-01-01 10:02

Was planned this way too, on Kaguya's birthday!

I didn't knew they were releasing this on Crunchyroll lol , gotta watch it today

ObvsThrowaway51202025-12-31 17:07

These two don’t waste time huh? They went from hand holding and “we don’t need to rush things” to just straight up going at it like rabbits lol. Oh to be young again!

I liked that send off for Miyuki. Guy’s got a lot of great friends. Also, I wish I had “fly to other country to say goodbye to my gf” money lol.

So there’s one more season or another special?

ScipioAfricanvs2025-12-31 19:33

A movie that will have original content and that’s it. Sounds like Aka basically rewrote the ending/last arc for the movie.

ObvsThrowaway51202026-01-01 01:23

Gotcha! Keen to see this new original film. I wonder what major changes it’ll have to how the characters turned out.

PeaceAlien2025-12-31 17:30

There is more to come with them as adults?! Glad these two dorks got their happy ending

omarous_III2025-12-31 18:22

Looks like a movie with an original ending was just announced.

Real-Restaurant8252025-12-31 20:33

I hope we’re going to see their little baseball team of kids there!

Yotsubato2026-01-01 04:18

Really hope they do an original ending for ONK too as well

bakaa_ningen2026-01-01 07:45

All we can do is hope.... Please Aka akasaka redeem yourself!!!

Nickthenuker2026-01-01 17:46

I do wonder if they will tie them together, considering Kaguya's job is [OnK] >!a photographer, specifically Ruby's.!<

omarous_III2025-12-31 18:22

Looks like a movie with an original ending was just announced.

MeatballZeitgeist2025-12-31 17:32

So I can't claim to be an authority on every romance anime, but this has to be on the short list for all-time greatest couple-goes-all-the-way moments in anime history, right?

Three seasons of exquisite buildup, believable nervousness and hesitation, and a *very* believable moment when the barrier is breached and the train suddenly cannot be stopped. I honestly can't think of any way the scene could be improved.

omarous_III2025-12-31 18:21

Agree 100%. While there are better romances and ROMCOMs out there... This, in my opinion, is the BEST manga/anime that handles a new young couple and the thought processes they go through when "going all the way"

ILikeToLive2026-01-01 01:32

While this series is obv a comedy first then romcom/romance second, I would still have it up as the best romcom I've seen as a whole after season 3 and the movie. The high's this series has (ex. ending of s3 balloon scene) is easily on par with the best romance scenes all time IMO.

Ill_Act_18552026-01-01 19:56

got to appreciate when it just actually addresses the whole thing of "make sure they consent even if you're dating, and be aware that they're allowed to stop consenting at any point if they don't feel up to it. Respect their feelings and do it when you're both ready"

Lemurians2026-01-01 20:44

> While there are better romances and ROMCOMs out there

Disagreed. This is the RomCom GOAT. Does everything it sets out to do so well. Nails the comedy, has a great ensemble cast, hits big on the romantic moments, and on top of that is a very fun production with all the visual and auditory gags and flair the teams have put in across the seasons. Nothing else I've come across checks every box like it.

TheEVILPINGU2025-12-31 19:01

It's iconic as one of the most popular couple from one of the most popular romcoms so yeah one of the best in the list.

But anime onlies will never know the peak romance knowns as the yancha gal anjou-san with 200+ chapters, lol.

oops_i_made_a_typi2026-01-02 00:19

man i enjoy anjou but its far from the level of kaguya

Yotsubato2026-01-01 04:16

This episode was an extremely realistic portrayal of romance. It really made me nostalgic about my first relationship and I definitely related to this episode

Emi_Ibarazakiii2026-01-01 09:59

> So I can't claim to be an authority on every romance anime, but this has to be on the short list for all-time greatest couple-goes-all-the-way moments in anime history, right?

Definitely!

>a very believable moment when the barrier is breached and the train suddenly cannot be stopped.

Agreed. I like that they had the chat about "no need to rush things", and I also like that they did it anyway! It was perfect.

Especially the part of her going "WAHH" in a private jet hahaha

I_like_boring_stuff22026-01-01 00:39

I was thinking the funniest thing would be if after that emotional goodbye, a typhoon hits and the plane gets delayed. Kaguya walking straight into first class is better.

S0phon2026-01-01 00:56

> Kaguya walking straight into first class is better.

Bro, that's not first class, that's a private jet. They literally had a red carpet rolled out for her.

I_like_boring_stuff22026-01-01 02:34

Oh fuck that was obvious in hindsight given the context. Brain too poor to process there's something above first class.

And then Kaguya reach SF before Shirogane do

Here I am thinking how to absolute plan the weekend Okinawa trip (1.5hr flight from where I am) without spending my entire monthly expense

Lemurians2026-01-01 20:52

Love how she barely even had to think about just being able to board the jet then and there lol

testthrowawayzz2026-01-02 00:47

and obviously the ground staff aren't going to risk their jobs and say no to a rich person's requests

Lemurians2026-01-02 03:24

And her own family's private jet would refuse her... why?

Obviously logistically it'd take longer to arrange the plane, get a window for takeoff, landing, etc. but let's not overthink a comedic bit.

clone692026-01-01 02:29

Aoi Koga Screeching is a gift from God

[The first episode](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/1q0ffm0/comment/nwxq79b/?context=3&utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) was great, but [this one](https://imgchest.com/p/agyvnbxrk48) was even better! The way everything [started, progressed, and ended with Kaguya and Miyuki having sex](https://imgchest.com/p/qb4zpb5nlyj) was so good and absolutely perfect!

Although it couldn't have ended any other way, especially after [Miyuki](https://imgchest.com/p/9p4nzav854n) saw [Kaguya](https://imgchest.com/p/wl7lw8aox4x) in [his shirt after bathing](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/7e070b6da2d9.png). [The sight was so tempting](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/43f93965f03d.png)!

Huge shout out to [Papa Shirogane](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/07055ad731ad.png) for immediately understanding what was happening and letting Miyuki know he wouldn't be coming home that night.

[Hayasaka's reaction](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/506c6f38a149.png) to what happened between [Kaguya and Miyuki](https://imgchest.com/p/qb4zpb5nlyj) was [so sweet and innocent](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/f3e1b33cafd6.png), which is quite funny considering [she was the one who introduced Kaguya to this kind of thing](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/7e946ab0ad76.png) xD

And the ending, where [Kaguya overslept](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/3858555bf45b.png) and missed [Shirogane's goodbye](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/e56bc289621f.png), causing [her to fly to the US](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/1c65b58ac2fb.png) to [say goodbye to Miyuki herself](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/b51dce3335fb.png), was hilarious. The power of money and love is quite terrifying xD

Well, it is Kaguya's favorite anime so that tracks.

Sneaky_422025-12-31 21:40

Oh. I honestly don't remember that lol.

finerdinerlighter2026-01-01 05:50

It is from [Season 3 teaser video](https://youtu.be/cxTxrKrYkcY?si=XvU8nfpnGrykSVDi). Shirogane was embarrassed to admit that he reads manga.

NanDemoKnaives2025-12-31 18:27

THEY DID IT! OH MY DAYS THEY DID IT! I'm happy they were able to seize the golden opportunity lol. I do like how respectful Shirogane was even though I'm sure he was going crazy internally since holding hands already triggered him lol. It's sweet to learn that Kaguya ended up being the one to seduce him after she was hesitant.

Shirogane's reaction the morning after was hilarious! His mind was going wild. I also like how Kaguya had the more calmer reaction like she had reached enlightment lol.

It's sad to see Shirogane finally move away and I did like seeing everyone's farewell, but Kaguya running in having missed him and so she gets on a plane to travel to the airport he is in just to say goodbye was also hilarious. No wonder Shirogane was not concerned at all.

I do have to admit the unfortunate thing about this movie was that there's clearly a lot that has been skipped and from what I saw about the next movie is it'll be anime original. I really want to see more of their school life adapted, so I hope they eventually release something after like Horimiya did. It was nice to see pictures of them as adults at the end of the episode, Ishigami having short hair looked interesting.

South252025-12-31 19:42

Would be nice if they eventually greenlit a Kaguya "Missing pieces" like what was done with Horimiya to cover some of the stuff the anime missed. I'm still glad we got these bits animated thought, but would be nice to get the Hayasaka and Ishigami related stuff animated.

liggieep2025-12-31 19:10

ok do oshi no ko next for an anime original ending

Nachtwandler_FS2025-12-31 19:16

OK, I get people was waiting for it. It was nice. And episode overall was nice also. Yes, the fast forwarded to the ending, but we still got the ending.

[Of course, Chika is going to spend her time playing ~~Among Us~~ Space Werewolf.](https://i.imgur.com/rKglMfU.jpeg) I'm not even surprised.

[This scene of Papa Shirogane telling his son he's doing him a favour](https://i.imgur.com/npuDynd.jpeg) was great. It also looks so menacing without context. xD

Not gonna lie, for a second there, I thought [they weren't gonna do it](https://i.imgur.com/faREgsg.jpeg), at least not until the very end. But as soon as their discussion ended [and they started kissing again](https://i.imgur.com/gBaaX4c.jpeg), that was it. [There was no way that wasn't going to lead to sex.](https://i.imgur.com/cI6lIP2.jpeg) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I just love how they went from talking about taking things slow to suddenly diving into it without even realizing. The best part of this is their reactions after. [Shirogane is still freaking out](https://i.imgur.com/4yOuxhP.jpeg) while [Kaguya seems to have been enlightened by the experience.](https://i.imgur.com/7bZU2MF.jpeg)

[The airport scene was amazing too!](https://i.imgur.com/MDlcXM2.jpeg) Not gonna lie, I kinda teared up when [Chika said Shirogane was like a son to her.](https://i.imgur.com/Y41NF3O.jpeg) She definitely raised that boy.

[And Kaguya missing Shirogane was the best!](https://i.imgur.com/8fJlWtN.jpeg) Shirogane leaving for America is a big deal, but for a second there, I forgot that she's rich and [she can literally just get on her family's private jet](https://i.imgur.com/hR4jzUg.jpeg) and [visit him in California anytime she wants.](https://i.imgur.com/o9HF2Y3.jpeg) xD

So this isn't the end? I've seen the post about the movie and how Akasaka is making original content. I know manga readers have pretty much lost faith in him, but I'm looking forward to seeing what he's cooking as an anime-only watcher. I'm honestly not ready for this series to end yet.

>Not gonna lie, for a second there, I thought [they weren't gonna do it](https://i.imgur.com/faREgsg.jpeg), at least not until the very end. But as soon as their discussion ended [and they started kissing again](https://i.imgur.com/gBaaX4c.jpeg), that was it. [There was no way that wasn't going to lead to sex.](https://i.imgur.com/cI6lIP2.jpeg) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

One of the most satisfying "and one thing lead to another" of all time.

Finally using her wealth and privilege for good and relationship fulfillment instead of convoluted love confession plots lol.

At 19:50, they actually did a shot that emulates a split-diopter lens effect. What a fucking great bit of attention to detail!

Definitelyhuman0002025-12-31 20:04

Does anyone know if there will be only 2 episodes or 4 like the first kiss movie?

Nickthenuker2025-12-31 20:11

Sus Amogus lol.

Ah right Kaguya's brother.

And so she's going to his new place.

And so he's finally got his own room.

And now they're alone at home.

Oh wait this is that infamous chapter isn't it?

Oh his dad has _exactly the right idea_.

Chibi Kaguya!

And so it begins.

Yep.

That certainly caught Hayasaka off guard.

That's a very hoity-toity way to say Shirogane railed her up and down the garden path lol.

And here is almost right at the end of the manga.

Yeah she missed the flight lol so she took her private jet all the way to the US.

Ah right he did Zoom call back.

Huh. Who's that again?

Oh one of those.

Oh, are we getting an anime original ending? Considering how the manga ending was received that will be interesting to see.

Overall, well, it's one way for the show to go. And I guess there's more we can look forward to too. 8/10.

ThisGachaSeemsLegit2025-12-31 20:56

W-wow... Are they really showing a normal couple doing normal things? Did I jump on the wrong timeline?
...
...
Oh wait, It's Kaguya-sama. We're saved. Thank you Akasaka-san, A-1.

There was a lot of doom going in, and you can tell they skipped some developments involving Ishigami, Iino, and Hayasaka, but despite that it was good. It was fun. It captured the enjoyable feeling of Kaguya-Sama while also progressing the relationship between Kaguya and Miyuki. This special felt like a goodbye to the viewers, a highlight reel and conclusion to the main focus of the series which was their relationship. I didn't really expect another anime or special, and this was good, so this was a welcome addition.

A new movie was just announced so that's interesting, anime original too. Interested to see what it's about. A full-on epilogue?

Man I had forgotten how fucking happy these two dorks on screen make me. The anime team still has an exquisite grasp on how to adapt the manga

Enjoyed this short much much more than I thought

SEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK HAS BEEN HAD

DaBenni03012025-12-31 23:07

It's so nice to actually see a couple be a couple for once, even apart from the obvious. It's always the same will they won't they stuff with the anime ending at the confession, so much so that so seeing actual couples has become a rarity.

Ok-Cod52542025-12-31 23:33

This solidifies why Miyuki Shirogane is a top-tier anime romance male lead. He took control of the situation and was very considerate of Kaguya.

Love the bait and switch at the end of them to do the deed. I honestly would have been just fine if they didn't with how they settled things, but it was the cherry on the top for comedy for them to get caught up and do it anyway.

My favorite rom com couple. ❤️

The animation on this scene is so fun.

Looks like one of the Tabletop club members is Minamida, developing Inner Fighter 9.

earthenorange2026-01-01 01:54

I absolutely loved Kaguya rolling around on Shirogane's bed and having a freak moment. This whole episode was hilarious and fun and wonderful. This is such a great adaptation of the manga.

Also, papa Shirogane is a real G. "What's that? I won't come home at all tonight and find a way to kill time until noon. Tell Kaguya I said hi!"

louai_sy2026-01-01 02:08

I feel weird watching this, they're already all grown ups and it's ending with the next movie, i sad :(

Nekuphones2026-01-01 02:13

Anyone happen to have a gif of Kaguya freaking out on the bed? Or waddling through the airport/plane?

HazyMirror2026-01-01 02:29

His dad is the fucking MVP! He's my favorite character.

absolutelynotaname2026-01-02 17:06

I love that he immediately knew what Miyuki was up to when he heard "Huh, you're coming home!?"

Kurrow2026-01-01 03:47

Man they skipped a lot of the drama stuff.

carcatta2026-01-02 00:47

On one hand that last arc wasn't great, but I feel like it threw off the pacing a bit, it ended almost right after they became a couple.

winterlyparsley2026-01-01 04:43

I really do respect Aka for actually having a teen couple have sex in a romance anime. For all the mind games and grandees nonsense, Kaguya is very accurate depiction of teen romance I started reading the manga when I was the same age as the characters and I was shocked at how relatable it was at times.

ruineinsha2026-01-01 05:52

oh my goodness they came so far already I LOVE THEM SO MCUHHH

SnabDedraterEdave2026-01-01 08:42

Hayasaka revealed to be more pure than the cool-maid/gyaru persona that she normally exhibits can never not be cute.

opelui232026-01-01 09:19

I remember the day when this came out on r/manga and the whole thread just melted down. Even better was the spoiler thread a couple of days earlier. I did not look at that, but when I read chapter 220 in March of 2021, I just squealed like a little girl and grinned like an idiot. I never thought Aka would pull the trigger, but he did.

Xyplain_YT2026-01-01 12:11

I remember that day well. The entire Kaguya Sama discord server and the subreddit broke like for a week. 4P forever lmao

BrianF14122026-01-01 14:35

Damn I'm happy that we got new content but they skip a lot of the story and many of it was great as well. I wish we got a new season instead but something is better than nothing in this case.

Niwaka_Samurai2026-01-01 15:02

Watching Kaguya sama after a long time made me feel how much I missed this beautiful show. There was a huge smile on my face right from the start till the finish. The show with the peak voice acting and the op and ed were as brilliant as ever.

How cute this turned out to be even with just two episodes !! I only wished we had more without those skipped chapters on Hayasaka and Ishigami that I heard about. I will at least try reading the manga just for that.

Kaguya in love is just too damn adorable and they went all the way. That getting caught speaking under the futon was so funny. Hayasaka always seemed to be well versed in the arts of Romance but even for her hearing about sex from a girl who has experienced it and that too being Kaguya, haha..she never would have expected that. Papa Shirogane showing his might be becoming a streamer and they were able to afford a big home and support Miyuki's study abroad 'cause of his talent but I guess most of the credits for which go to Kei's beauty lol

Seeing Kaguya and Miyuki having a happy life in the future was more than a dream come true. How did the Shinomiya family allow her marriage was there opposition? And was that explored in the manga ??
Can't wait for the movie that's gonna come out.

carcatta2026-01-02 00:14

I can't believe they skipped Shindou

killerofcheese2026-01-02 11:32

cant believe the boyfucker mikado isnt getting his screentime also

iWalkSidewayz2026-01-02 03:01

Even all these years later the show is still peak, what a way to end the year

secret_tsukasa2026-01-02 18:09

Kaguya really just said "oh yeah, I'm rich" at the end.

pseudometapseudo2026-01-02 20:32

Qq, why does Shirogene go to Stanford alone? A big deal of the season 3 conclusion was him giving Kaguya the second recommendation so she could apply as well.

Did I miss something or have they simply dropped that plot point?

Ok-Cod52542026-01-03 01:46

It's addressed in the manga of why the plans change and Kaguya has a different direction of what she wants to do.
