Frequently Asked Questions
-
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. -
Will Saiki get more manga chapters?
- The manga finished in 2018. It’s unlikely for Asou-sensei to continue this project after concluding it. -
Where can I read/watch…?
- Re-read this post - I’ve linked EVERYTHING I could think of. Just click the hyperlink. -
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. -
Is Kusuo aroace?
- Canonically no, but it’s a popular headcanon.
