Is it easy to make a third season of an anime based on Yan-Jan?
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
Yanjan, which serializes “Kaguya-sama”, is a manga magazine published by Shueisha.
Shueisha is a company that is actively working on long term anime, and Yanjan is no exception.
Tokyo Gator: Tokyo Ghouls” has been produced for 4 seasons, “Kingdom” has been produced for 3 seasons, and the 3rd season of “Golden Kamui” is scheduled to be broadcast in the fall of 2020.
What these works all have in common is that the disc sales themselves are not high, but the original sales are high.
At the time of the third season’s decision, the total number of copies of Tokyo Ghoulds, Kingdom and Golden Kamui have sold 32 million, 45 million and 12 million respectively.
Among them, Golden Kamui is close to Kaguya, at the time of the release of volume 21, it sold 12 million copies, so it is almost the same number of copies as Kaguya which sold 11 million copies at the time of volume 18.
Kaguya-sama, in addition to that, disc sales and distribution are also strong.
If that is the case, there is a high probability that the manga will be given the go-ahead for the 3rd season, and if the sales continue to grow steadily after that, even the 4th season will be within reach.
If a third or fourth season comes to fruition, how far will it be visualized?

If a third and then fourth season is produced, I’ll try to predict how far the original will be visualized.
Within the scope of the third season, there is a major event called the school festival where the two main characters make rapid progress in their relationship, so the visualization up to this point seems to be the best way to end the series.
The pace of consumption of the original work is 4.5 volumes for both the first and second periods, so if you want to visualize up to “Culture Festival and Two Confessions” which is in volume 14, you can produce at exactly the same pace.
On the other hand, the 4th season will be in volume 18 at the same pace, but since volume 18 will end in the middle of the school trip episode, it is expected to progress a little further to the end of the school trip episode in volume 19.
This feature-length episode depicts the bond between Kaguya and Hayasaka, and it would be a fitting conclusion to the fourth season.
Summary
I’d love to see this anime crew make a third season and beyond, as they’ve done a wonderfully salty adaptation of the heavy episodic gymnasium episode!
I’m pretty sure they’re going to make a third season, so I’m hoping for more than that!
