The news of the retirement of Aka Akasaka , author of the Kaguya-sama: Love is War franchise, is still having an impact within the fan community. However, others are focusing on other parts of his statement, specifically the one where the author notes that " there might still be things to tell about Kaguya Shinomiya's life ."
Akasaka announced his retirement from the manga industry this week, specifying that he will stop working as an artist, but will continue to write stories for others to draw. This role is known as " original author ", and it is the same one that he currently fulfills in the manga Oshi no Ko ( My Star ), which is drawn by Mengo Yokoyari .
In his update, Akasaka also noted that the serialization of Kaguya-sama: Love is War did not leave him entirely satisfied, and he apologized to fans for the fact that "there would be some unfinished business in that work ", although he also noted that I would do my best to tell them in some way . However, it seems that fans found an old post where the author points out when that sequel could arrive.
In a May 2020 Twitter post, Akasaka shared an update mentioning that he was completely drunk. One of his followers took the opportunity and asked him directly: « Do you plan to do a story that covers the “University Arc”? », referring to continuing the story of the manga by telling the university life of the main characters.
Akasaka also responded directly: « At least not at this time; but a resurgence in 10 years is entirely possible ». Of course, we're talking about a post from two years ago, but have your plans changed since then? They say that children and drunks always tell the truth, and considering the state the author says he was in, could we expect a continuation of the play in 2030 (considering he said "ten years" in 2020)?
