Premise: The members of Shuchiin Academy’s student council continue their competitive day-to-day antics. President Miyuki Shirogane clashes daily against vice-president Kaguya Shinomiya, each fighting tooth and nail to trick the other into confessing their romantic love. Kaguya struggles within the strict confines of her wealthy, uptight family, rebelling against her cold default demeanor as she warms to Shirogane and the rest of her friends.
Meanwhile, treasurer Yuu Ishigami suffers under the weight of his hopeless crush on Tsubame Koyasu, a popular upperclassman who helps to instill a new confidence in him. Miko Iino, the newest student council member, grows closer to the rule-breaking Ishigami while striving to overcome her own authoritarian moral code.
As love further blooms at Shuchiin Academy, the student council officers drag their outsider friends into increasingly comedic conflicts.
TheAwersome’s Thoughts: Love is War holds up to its previous seasons in every way. The perfectly executed comedy is on point, and balances excellently with the growing interpersonal developments as they approach a culminating point. There’s a bit more of a focus on the overarching story and relationship developments, so ready them feels for the final season of one of the greatest and smartest anime comedies of our time.
TLDR: Every bit as funny and heartwarming as the previous seasons, with satisfying culminations and conclusions.
There is a fantastic movie: “Kagyua-sama: Love is War – The First Kiss that Never Ends” that takes place after this season.
