No, Bunny Girl Senpai Season 3 has not been confirmed. Following the conclusion of the University Arc (Rascal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus) which aired in Summer 2025, there has been no official announcement from CloverWorks or Aniplex regarding a direct continuation. While the light novel series has concluded, leaving more story to adapt, fans are currently in a waiting period for news on Sakuta and Mai’s future.
The ending of the University Arc left a mark, hasn’t it? After hours spent watching Sakuta navigate the complexities of college life and new forms of Puberty Syndrome, the silence that follows the finale feels heavier than ever. It naturally leads to the big question on everyone’s mind: what comes next?
Is Bunny Girl Senpai Season 3 Confirmed?
As of September 2025, there is no official confirmation for a third season of Bunny Girl Senpai. The most recent installment, which covered the University Arc, just wrapped up its broadcast. Typically, anime production committees wait to gauge the success of a season—looking at streaming numbers and merchandise sales—before greenlighting a sequel.
Will There Be a Season 3?
The chances for a third season are incredibly high. The Rascal Does Not Dream franchise is a powerhouse in terms of popularity and sales. More importantly, the original light novel series by Hajime Kamoshida has officially concluded with its 15th volume, meaning the complete story is available to be adapted without any long waits for new material. The real question isn’t “if,” but “when.”
How Much Source Material Is Left for Season 3?
There’s just enough for one final, climactic season. The anime adaptations have covered the light novels as follows:
- Season 1: Volumes 1-5 (High School Arc I)
- Movies (Dreaming Girl, Sister Venturing Out, Knapsack Kid): Volumes 6-9 (High School Arc II)
- Season 2 (University Arc): Volumes 10-12
This leaves Volumes 13, 14, and 15 untouched. These three books—Rascal Does Not Dream of a Santa Claus, Rascal Does Not Dream of a Girl in a Leather Backpack, and Rascal Does Not Dream of a Dear Friend—form the concluding arc of the entire series.
What Would Season 3’s Plot Be?
Season 3 would adapt the final, and arguably most intense, arc of the light novel series. Without delving into heavy spoilers, this part of the story directly confronts the mysteries surrounding Mai’s health and the true nature of Puberty Syndrome. It forces Sakuta to face his most significant challenges yet, pushing his relationships and his own resolve to their absolute limits. It’s a finale that ties together threads from the very beginning of the series.
Why Hasn’t Season 3 Been Announced Yet?
Anime production is a lengthy process. Studio CloverWorks, the brilliant team behind the animation, has a packed schedule. They are often juggling multiple high-profile projects at once, including their original anime film Grotesqqque, slated for a 2026 release. It’s common for there to be a gap of a year or two between seasons as the studio allocates resources and staff for production.
Who Would Return for Season 3?
A sequel would almost certainly bring back the core team to maintain the series’ quality and feel. This includes director Sōichi Masui, scriptwriter Masahiro Yokotani, and of course, the indispensable voice actors Kaito Ishikawa (Sakuta) and Asami Seto (Mai). The consistent staff has been a key part of the anime’s success, and it’s unlikely the production committee would change a winning formula.
How Did Season 2 End? A Quick Recap
The University Arc saw Sakuta and Mai begin their college lives, only to be confronted by new cases of Puberty Syndrome. The season introduced new characters like Touko Kirishima and deepened the lore surrounding the mysterious phenomenon. The finale resolved the immediate conflicts of the arc but left the overarching questions about Mai’s future and the origins of the syndrome hanging, perfectly setting the stage for the final act.
