One of the highest-rated rom-com anime of summer 2023, Masamune-kun’s Revenge, has concluded its second season. Viewers of Masamune-kun’s Revenge are wondering if the series will get a third season now that the final episode has been broadcast. In this post, we will look at the most recent news about “Masamune-kun’s Revenge Season 3” and what fans can expect.
Based on the manga written by Hazuki Takeoka and illustrated by Tiv, the first season aired in 2017. After six years, fans heartily welcomed the second season, which aired from July 3, 2023, to September 18, 2023.
Masamune-kun’s Revenge introduces us to Masamune Makabe, a chubby boy who was once rejected by Aki Adagaki due to his physical condition. He has drastically altered his personality for one reason: vengeance. In contrast to his past, he has worked hard to improve his appearance in order to achieve this ambition. He then plans to take revenge on Aki Adagaki in the same way she once rejected him.
No Official Announcement Yet for “Masamune-kun’s Revenge Season 3”
Season 3 of “Masamune-kun’s Revenge” has yet to be confirmed, despite high expectations. As of now, Masamune-kun’s Revenge Season 3 has received no official updates.
Will “Masamune-kun’s Revenge” Get a Third Season?
“Masamune-kun’s Revenge R (Season 2)” is one of the highest-rated sequels of Summer 2023; therefore, the odds of a third season are good. The series has clearly struck a chord with viewers, as seen by favorable ratings on platforms such as MyAnimeList (7.3/10 by 21,525 users), IMDb (6.4/10 by 3,063 users), and Crunchyroll (4.3/5 by 27,418 users). However, the primary obstacles to renewing a new season of Masamune-kun’s Revenge are the insufficient sales of the manga and source material.
Typically, the primary purpose of an anime is to boost the sales of its source material. Unfortunately, the manga series did not make the Top 10 Highest Selling Manga Series of August list published by Oricon. That is, manga sales did not improve sufficiently to warrant a sequel; however, this is not the sole cause.
The manga that served as the inspiration for “Masamune-kun’s Revenge” was completed on June 27, 2018, with 12 volumes. The primary story of the series concludes at volume 10 of these 12 volumes. The after-stories continue in the second and third volumes titled “Masamune-kun’s Revenge After School” and “Masamune-kun’s Revenge Engagement.”
Masamune-kun’s Revenge Season 2 adapted the tale up to volume 10, so the primary story has been entirely adapted. If the studio opts to adapt the remaining source material, the next installment will most likely be a film or a mini-TV series that covers the events following the main tale.
Special Event for Masamune-kun’s Revenge
A special edition episode of “Masamune-kun’s Revenge” will be broadcast on Monday, September 25th. This episode was included in the bonus OAD for the special edition of volume 10 of the manga “Masamune-kun’s Revenge” and is about the thoughts of Masamune, Aihime, and Yoshino after the final episode of Season 2. They will deliver three short stories depicting “Only for my mom,” “Tsunade Island again,” and “Cinderella after 12 o’clock.”
In addition, a special event for “Masamune-kun’s Revenge R” will be held on January 20, 2024. The event will include readings by a gorgeous cast.
Masamune-kun’s Revenge Season 3 Release Date
While the anticipation for Masamune-kun’s Revenge Season 3 is palpable among fans, there’s still no official confirmation of its production. The limited source material available poses a significant hurdle to the anime’s continuation. With the sequel manga comprising only 8 chapters, it might be a minimum of 4 to 5 years before we see a new season.
This estimation factors in the time needed to accumulate sufficient chapters for a substantial storyline, followed by the potential production timeline once a new season is greenlit. Given these circumstances, it’s safe to say that a new season won’t be hitting screens anytime soon.
Adding to the uncertainty, the animation studio responsible for the series, “SILVER LINK,” is currently engrossed in other projects, including “Ragna Crimson” and “Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable.” This further suggests that Masamune-kun’s Revenge Season 3 is unlikely to be in the immediate pipeline. If Studio Silver Link does agree to adapt the remaining source material, we shouldn’t expect the season to release before 2025.
However, for devoted fans who waited six years for season 2, waiting a bit longer for season 3 shouldn’t be insurmountable. So, while the release date remains uncertain, there’s still hope for the continuation of this beloved anime series.
What To Expect from “Masamune-kun no Revenge” Season 3
‘Masamune-kun’s Revenge R’ has already covered the main manga storyline, leaving room for the after-stories. ‘Masamune-kun’s Revenge Engagement’ offers an intriguing premise, set two years after the characters’ high school graduation. Masamune resides in Tokyo, while Aki finds herself on the island of Hokkaido, both attending different universities and maintaining a long-distance relationship.
Yoshino, on the other hand, takes a gap year and plans to attend Masamune’s university. This unique setting allows for character development as the love story between Masamune and Aki continues.
While the road to Season 3 may be paved with uncertainty, fans are urged not to lose hope. After all, waiting six years for Season 2 proved worth it. Until then, stay tuned with us for the latest news and updates on your cherished anime.
