This partnership is sure to bring a smile to many faces.
This unique collaboration sees Kaguya-sama and her companions joining forces to energize “Midori no Tanuki” as it steps into the fiercely contested `Tsukimi` (moon-viewing) sales season.

About Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Tensaitachi no Ren’ai Zunousen
For those new to the phenomenon, **Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Tensaitachi no Ren’ai Zunousen** is a brilliantly fresh take on the romantic comedy genre, originating from the manga by the talented Akasaka Aka. The story unfolds within the hallowed halls of a prestigious academy, a breeding ground for future elites, where two prodigious individuals engage in an exhilarating ‘love brain battle’ – a mental war to force the other to confess their feelings first.
The original manga series has been an undeniable global success, boasting over 24 million copies in circulation worldwide. Its immense popularity led to a highly successful TV anime adaptation, with its first season airing in 2019, followed by the second in 2020, and the third in 2022. Beyond animation, the series also charmed audiences on the big screen with two live-action films, released in 2019 and 2021, respectively.
Adding to its legacy, 2022 saw the theatrical premiere of **Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai -First Kiss wa Owaranai-**, a captivating sequel to the third TV anime season, which garnered significant attention and praise from fans. With the exciting announcement in June 2025 that a brand-new TV special is in production, it’s clear that Kaguya-sama remains a wildly popular series, and fans eagerly anticipate what further developments await them!
The Mid-Autumn Moon & “Midori no Tanuki” Collaboration
This highly anticipated inaugural collaboration between **Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai** and Toyo Suisan’s “Akai Kitsune Midori no Tanuki” officially began on September 5, 2025, much to the delight of fans and noodle enthusiasts alike.
The collaboration is all about Kaguya-sama and her student council friends lending their charm to boost “Midori no Tanuki” during the bustling `Tsukimi` sales period – a major event celebrated during the “Chushuu no Meigetsu” (Mid-Autumn Moon) season. The reason for “Midori no Tanuki”‘s participation? Its delicious tempura toppings are said to resemble the glorious full moon, a perfect fit for the moon-viewing festivities!
Introducing the Collaboration Movies: Fujiwara Chika’s Otsukimi Rap!
Alongside the launch of this exciting collaboration, a series of special promotional movies have been unveiled, much to the delight of fans.
These three delightful episodes are titled: Episode 1, “**Shirogane Miyuki wa Otsukimi wo Shitai**” (Shirogane Miyuki Wants to Do Moon Viewing); Episode 2, “**Fujiwara Chika wa Otsukimi Rap wo Utaitai**” (Fujiwara Chika Wants to Sing the Moon Viewing Rap); and Episode 3, “**Hayasaka Ai wa Otsukimi to Midori no Tanuki wo Kataritai**” (Hayasaka Ai Wants to Talk About Moon Viewing and Midori no Tanuki). Fans will particularly enjoy Episode 2, which features Fujiwara Chika’s highly anticipated “Otsukimi Rap.” This special performance is a wonderful callback to the iconic “rap kai” from Episode 5 of the anime’s third season, a moment that instantly became a viral sensation among viewers.
Fan Reactions and Future Hopes
The reaction on X (formerly Twitter) has been overwhelmingly positive! Fans are absolutely loving the new rap, with comments like “Fujiwara Shoki-chou (Secretary General) is so much fun!”, “It’s been a while, and this rap is the best!”, and “The Tsukimi Rap is absolutely incredible!” Many also expressed their joy at seeing **Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai** back in action, with posts such as “It’s been a long time, and these two are just as they always were!” and “I never thought my ‘Kaguya-sama loss’ would be cured like this!” It’s clear that the return of the student council has been a welcome sight for many `otaku`.
