“Kaguya-sama: Love Is War” is a popular romantic comedy series that thanks to its story has won the hearts of the public, who, since the end of its third season in 2022, have been eagerly awaiting a continuation of this series. And finally, this year the franchise is back, only not in the way its fans expected, since it is not an OVA, movie or the long-awaited fourth season, but a game in pachislot format. In this article we will tell you all the details of the “return” of Kaguya-sama.
Kaguya-sama is back in “pachislot” format, causing surprise among fans
Recently, the official Twitter/X account of Kaguya-sama @anime_kaguya, shared the news that this franchise would have its own Pachislot game, which are these digital versions of the famous slot machines found in gambling halls around the world. These machines have gained enormous popularity over time and now it is common for manga and anime franchises to use them to integrate their characters. In the publication where they tell us this news, they indicate that the company that will develop this version of Kaguya-sama’s Pachishot will be the Japanese company Sankyo, a renowned manufacturer of these products.
Likewise, they shared a teaser of what this new product will be so that fans can get an initial idea of what to expect, as well as an estimated release date, which will be for September 2024, the official account of Kaguya-sama, asked fans to wait carefully for more updates on the matter. Of course, this news brought all kinds of reactions from the fans of this story, some showing excitement for this news, however, most of the public were somewhat disappointed, as they were expecting a confirmation of the fourth season of this series.
Among the various reactions posted by cybernauts, are the following “I’m really looking forward to it. I hope for some kind of media adaptation of Pachislot this time” “I’ve never played slots before, but I’m thinking of doing it!” “I’m going to work every day during the summer vacation and save money to get it”, As you can see, many fans, mostly of Japanese origin, were excited about this news of being able to play in this format, something related to such a beloved story as “Kaguya-sama“.
However, something funny happened in this social network. Well, Japanese people immediately knew what the announcement was about when they read the publication, but of course, people outside this country or who did not know the language, got carried away by the teaser shared and began to get excited, believing that it was about a fourth season. Until they translated this message and, sadly, they realized that it was this new game and not a continuation of the series they were waiting for.
Due to the above, many people started to make jokes about it and asked the Japanese to pity a little bit all the people who were very excited believing that it was a new season, until they translated the message. But if we go to the comments of this post, we will see how many people are really waiting for this notification, because most of the users who commented on this post were related to the continuation of Kaguya-sama.
In Kaguya-sama, we follow Miyuki Shirogane and Kaguya Shinomiya, the president and vice president of the student council, who are in a relationship and seem to be made for each other. Kaguya comes from a wealthy family and Miyuki is an exemplary student, being the best in the school, so he is quite well known in the place where they live. They both feel attraction for each other, but they are too proud to admit it because they have the idea that the first one who confesses his feelings will be beneath the other, so we will follow their different attempts to make the other one admit what he feels.
