Frequently Asked Questions

  1. When is the next season of the anime coming?
    - There won’t be one. Unless the studio decides to adapt the novels, which is unlikely, they don’t have enough source material left to make a full season out of it.
  2. Will Saiki get more manga chapters?
    - The manga finished in 2018. It’s unlikely for Asou-sensei to continue this project after concluding it.
  3. Where can I read/watch…?
    - Re-read this post - I’ve linked EVERYTHING I could think of. Just click the hyperlink.
  4. Is Kusuo transgender?
    - He’s a shapeshifter who turns into Kusuko when he needs to or gains from it. It’s only technically canon as he left the womb as a girl, but it’s only a result of his shapeshifting powers. He immediately changes to male - the gender was assigned before birth.
    If you want to headcanon him as transgender though- go ahead.
  5. Is Kusuo aroace?
    - Canonically no, but it’s a popular headcanon.
