The third TV anime season, Kaguya-sama: Love Is War -Ultra Romantic continues the rom-com TV anime series starting April 8 right here on Crunchyroll, with the first two seasons also streaming here. Crunchyroll describes the show as such:

From a good family? Check! A good personality? Check! Shuchiin Academy is where all these elite students with bright futures flock to. As the two leaders of the student council, Kaguya Shinomiya and Miyuki Shirogane have supposedly fallen in love… But after almost half a year, nothing has happened!? They both have too much pride and can’t be honest. Things have gotten troublesome, and they are now caught in a war of “How to get the other to confess their love first.” This is a whole new romantic comedy, following an outbreak of cunning warfare between two elite students in love.
