A series of special illustrations by different members of the production team were published on the official Twitter account for the anime adaptation of the manga written and illustrated by Aka Akasaka, Kaguya-sama: Love is War. However, what caught the attention of fans was that, in the final scene of the episode, the message “Continue? YES / NO ”, which has been taken as a clue from a third season.
The illustrations were published in commemoration of the broadcast of episode # 12 of the second season, the same with which it ended. The series has not given official indications of production of a third season. The first illustration was done by character designer Yuuko Yahiro.
