Nisekoi Season 3 Spoilers, Production Updates, and Release Date; Will the Previous Season's Low Score Affect Renewal?

'Nisekoi' Season 3: why is it taking so long; is the previous season's low score affecting its renewal?

Fans are still hopeful that there will be at least one more season to Nisekoi after its previous season ended in June 2015. It’s been four years since the second installment of Nisekoi ended, but the series creator Naoshi Komi is yet to announce if there will be any update on it.

There are a lot of speculations about the third season of Nisekoi, but nothing has been confirmed yet.

The first season of Nisekoi debuted on the 11th of January on Tokyo MX. Later, other Japanese networks like MBS, BS11, and TVQ also adapted the series and started airing it.

The first arc of the series went onto earn critical praises from the target audience; according to TV Date, it scored 7.85/10 or 243,000 votes on My Anime List. The first season ended in May 2014.

After almost a year after the end of its first season, Nisekoi Season 2 started its run in April 2015. Just like its prequel season, it was also approved by a lot of fans. However, the series ratings drop to the score of 7.50/10 (137,000 votes).

The decline in the ratings of Nisekoi has many fans wondered if Nisekoi season 3 will ever happen.

Manga industry is quite notorious for remaining utterly reticent about the new projects for years and Shaft Inc (the parent studio of Nisekoi) is of no exception, either.

The original manga series consists of 25 volumes and 229 chapters, so there are still a lot of source materials for Nisekoi Season 3. Shueisha last released a Nisekoi manga in the August of 2016. Nisekoi: Urabana, on the other hand, concluded on December 28, 2013. From the looks of it, the entire story has already come to an end. Thus, there may be no Nisekoi Season 3 in the writing.

A live-action adaptation of Nisekoi was released on December 21, 2018, which was directed by Hayato Kawai. Hence, fans again started to hope if it could be a sign about the third season of Nisekoi.
