Movie Digest

Kaguya-Sama Love Is War Final is a live-action film adaptation that hit the nearest theaters on the 20th of August, 2021. Under the direction of Kawai Hayato and written by Tokunaga Yuichi for the screen, the film follows where it left the narrative in Kaguya-Sama: Love Is War (2019). It moves around the lives of two elite high schoolers, Shirogane Miyuki and Shinomiya Kabuya, running over a screen time of an hour and fifty-sixty minutes.

The Feel-Good Part

The adaptation falls under the genres of high school romance and sensational comedy. And it becomes for Kaguya-Sama: Love is War Final to evoke loads of laughter from the sitting audience. The fight between the lead characters, seeing who yields first, is one of its primary strongholds. Moreover, the actors play their voices and part elegantly to bring out the liveliness of their script characters.

The Disappointing Factor

One of the disappointments felt by the viewers is the lack of a proper ending or resolution. After waiting more than two years throughout the pandemic, Kaguya-Sama: Love is War Final falls short in this category.
