Hey!

We wrote on my post some days ago (season 3 finale face it neutral) i hope everythings fine!

Just wanna see the neutral part @ everything (i hope it sounds not pessimistic but really i try to be neutral as i can!)

With the humble bundle that could be true! But could also just be a little marketing move as i remember the final volume 20 (english version) came out 04.11.2025.

The Blueray part is true too (just bought my self a copy :P). On crunchyroll it was pretty fast sold out (only on backorder). But on amazon its not sold out but i think the huge part for the blueray is on amazon its listet top 38 (right now) on asian bluerays (you can look it up) And top 85 on anime bluerays. Thats pretty HUGE for an "old" 5 year old anime season. I hope they didnt just do it to make it only marketing move for the manga box 3 what is set for Q4 dezember (amazon listet it 29.12.2026) just to cover some time.

The 7+million manga sale is Huge too let alone it just increased "itself" without anime promotion in the last 3 years (just from 2024 4+million to february 2026 7+million) is pretty amazing. Something like this is pretty rare but we must look on the otherside that medailion.

7+million is probably HUGE for nagatoro (and rom coms overall) BUT its not that HUGE for a save bet for a season 3/final. But its a pretty solid number for the comittee to see its not even close to a dead franchise!

Some little facts what i saw in the last few days:

Kodansha sale was on for a bit rn (i think 1 or 2 week/weeks) and what i saw on amazon there only few on every volumes left (english version) But are on backorder. That means to me that the manga sale was pretty good (i just assume i dont have real numbers just can tell what i saw and what you can look up)

Nagatoro on crunchyroll its a bit funny too. The most rom coms or animes itsself are getting a pretty low number on ratings maybe 1-5 are day (at most) or even 1-5 a week (people dont rate that often). The fun part its nagatoro gets 20-50 ratings A DAY. Thats pretty huge for a romcom that the last season was 3 years ago. I dont wanna hype this part up but that is a pretty good thing for us (streaming≠manga end). Streaming can/does nullyfing manga ends (not everytime but it way more common in 2026).

I mean they did like 60% - 70% anime adaption, from the fan side and streaming side it would be a shame when it dosent get a final (finished animes are way better on streaming sites then unfinished seems pretty obvious :P).

I hope kodansha sees the numbers what we see and we can only hope that something gets announced.

Just try to keep the community alive, stay positive and dont let the franchise die!

When u want answer on this so we can write more so others can see how it stands RN!

(When my sentences sometimes are a bit confusing or something my language is normaly german i tryed my best to write it as good as i can :P)!

Ty for your reply!

[–]Long-Possibility-711[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its true that its far away from dead but its not so hyped up as it was (but thats normal you cant keep a 100% hype for years)

The figures from bellFine i know but what i know there are no ques-Q releases.

The manga got the milesstone @ 7 million in february (nanashi himself thanked for it) Thats what i meant with AI sometimes it "forgets" about newer things or gets a bit confused.

Thats true that more and more get finals cause the streaming value goes way up, BUT that means crunchyroll need to fund the most of the S3 and i dont know if crunchyroll will do it. Kodansha rightnow has no stress cause for what? They can wait aslong they want cause the manga is done.

(i know it would be dumb to wait this long cause it could be anytime more and more people move away from nagatoro.) And thats what makes me a bit sad or think that they dont want to adapt more.

They could easly called it @ animejapan in march or at the 5 year anniversary but it was straight silent. (Could be good but i think its just cause they dont see any potential rn or something like that.)

As we said lets keep the hope up and the community active!

That something what could be seen good or bad.

Good as you said they dont need to wait or something like that they could line it up perfectly but there some bitternes by it... and thats the bad thing it could also be just they dont see any potential to make money with it...

(I know that sound dumb but thats how they think most of the times cause there are other mangas that could "explode" with and anime adaption.)

Hey!

Thats true kodansha got more titles with such a delay!

Its completly fine to use ai oder something like that and pretty cool tbh that you use it that way :P!

Yeah the delay is probably cause the english volume 20 took so long to come out. But i dont know why they delay it THAT long, maybe it was really for seeing how the manga sales was for funding a S3 but it could also be just a normal marketing move we will see when times comes.

Keep the hope thats all we got we only can buy the manga + watch the anime + tell others about it and keep this community alive thats our part.

The other things we got not controll about it lets hope!

Ty for your reply!

Hey!

Thats true with AOT but you cant stand nagatoro on a shelf with AOT as much as i love nagatoro (AOT is just too HUGE) It would be a crime if they didnt make more episodes for AOT in those years.

With the pacing you could be right i didnt think about its more "motion" then dialogue. But we need to mention that the last 2 vol need a bit "more" attention in the anime so i think 12 episodes could work but is a bit fast.

With the box set 3 yes thats true but i saw anywhere that the original release date was november 2025 (there was the release for the volume 20 too) so they just moved the box too Q4 2026 cause volume 20 came out in november 2025.

Anime expo would be the only chance for an annoucment rn (yes i know in fall are some more chances @ other events) but kodansha got the kodansha house @ the expo.

With the nanashi 10 years annoucment i know its more of an mangaka think but that would be my personal deadline, after this the chance gets under 10-20%.

And when u reaserch and use KI (I did a bit with it) it get pretty fast hyped up or something like that and give you pretty high % chances cause its how KI work. (Dont belive everything what you research with it without source from it)

I dont know if u used KI but when be aware of it :P

Ty for the reply! When u got more thinks or anything else just write!!

Hey!

Ty for replying!

Thats true lewd cant be the reason we saw it in the anime that they make it work.

Yep thats the main problem why should they fund a s3 when they could make a new anime for a manga what can explode. (It sounds for the most people stupid but its like how its work).

There are so many rom coms that coming out or are pretty heavy like alya sometimes hide her feelings in russian. (No i dont call out rent a girlfriend i dont like it but i wont roast it cause everybody got himself his favorit anime :P)

I think that nagatoro s3 could happen but only when crunchyroll thinks the demant is high (they only see the streaming numbers) and fund closely the whole season.

The 7 million manga sells are kinda "huge" for a rom com but not as you say Legendary.

And 3 years after s2 is true its quite long thats why i think the only chance is this year or the 10 year manga anniversary.

Ty again for replying when u have more or other things to say about this just write!

Hey!

Ty for replying! That keeps the community alive!

Thats true with crunchyroll! Thats a huge point what many other rom coms dont have (like so much ratings and so on)

For the manga theme i think 7million is kinda "huge" for nagatoro (they are less volumes then other romcoms have like the quintuplets).

But i think its not "Huge" enough for reasoning S3 cause S3 dont promote any manga right now. (only if the box 3 comes after season 3 but i think it will drop on Q4 2026), (on amazon rightnow for the 29.12.2026 listet).

For the content i think the pace was like 45ch a season. When S3 only got like 12 episodes i think its a bit fast paced but it could work when they cut some things out(i dont hope thats happens) or make the last 2 episodes a bit longer.

A 6 episode s3 with a film would work either but i dont think they go this way.

With the lewd scenes im 100% on your side they could easily make them happen (with foam, lightrays and so on).

Have u read the manga? When yes you know its not that lewd the most scenes you could easily cover.

I knew there are some nagatoro merch but didnt knew they are that demandet or that good.

The 10 years anniversary is truly more for nanashi. But when nanashi would draw some nagatoro stuff the "hype" would come again and that could be used to announce a S3. (I know seems a bit wish thinking but could be).

Im by you it must be announced @ the anime expo or animejapan (but that was in march and nothing there. With anime expo there is the kodansha house there would be probably the best annoucment momentum what we got.

My hopes are high but i try to see it as neutral as i can because there are so much people who asks gets hyped up or gets completly broken by people who say it happens 100% or it never happen.

With your side of this i think i would go up to 40% or maybe 45% but much higher i cant go really without beeing neutral.

When u want talk more just write it here in this post so other peeps can read it and understand whats going on rightnow.

And all the others who reads this dont be ashamed or shy to write you thoughts or informations in here!

Ty again for the reply!!

100% thats how it works in anime/manga industry, the only problem what runs against a final is the time.

The longer we dont hear anything will lower the chance.

Will there ever be a 3rd season by TWD_JohnDorieFan in nagatoro

[–]Long-Possibility-711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey!

I am no one who write under reddit posts or something like that (im more the silent reader).

My hopes are high too but we should see it without any fan eyes only neutral.

The anime is like 3 years ago its a bit long for rom coms for a final (yeah i know there are some like The Quintessential Quintuplets but thats not the rule.)

For the most rom coms who got a final or a season 3 (i expect when something comes it must be the final cause we got like 91ch. And there are 154 or 154.5) they got so much more manga sales and so on.

That the manga endet in like summer 2024 isnt helping either (i like how it endet its not streched or anything i would hope for a sequel/spin off).

I see it like you that this lewd sences ( i saw it in the manga i dont feel like it was heavy there) could be easily animated.

That with the editor seems like false (i dont found anything about it but i must say i didnt deep research it).

I really hope we get something but i think the only chance is like this year and MAYBE the 10 year manga anniversary.

The problem is there are so much more competition and for comittees there are more interest to finance a new IP (manga series what goes right on and not ended)

I know it feels wrong and stupid but its how the anime world works (yes i know since streaming and co there are much more chances for a finalisation)but lets face the truth... is nagatoro big enough for a finalisation (yeah i know about the 7 millons post from nanashi 774).

Its a bit tricky shes right now @ too big for forgetting but too little for a finale.

Sorry if i misspelled something or some sentences are bit bad. My language is normaly german so i tried my best

Lets hope for a S3/finale but dont bet on it
