The Dangers in My Heart is coming back for a third season in April 2027. The official website opened the announcement on Friday with a teaser promotional video and a new visual, and that April window is the first solid date the anime has had since the second season aired in early 2024.
Nothing else came with it. No staff list, no cast additions, no episode count. For a series this far along, that is normal. Spring 2027 is still about a year out, and studios tend to hold the production details until a full trailer is ready.
The manga is finished, which changes the calculation
Norio Sakurai’s original manga ended on September 15, and Akita Shoten shipped the fourteenth and final compiled volume on Friday, the same day the anime announcement landed. Seven Seas Entertainment, which licenses the series in English, published volume thirteen on August 25.
That matters more than it sounds. When a manga is still running, an anime adaptation has to guess where to stop, and second and third seasons often end up inventing a landing point or cutting arcs short. Here the ending already exists on paper. Whatever season three covers, it is working toward a finish line somebody already wrote.
Fourteen volumes is not a huge run either. Two seasons plus a recap film have presumably eaten a decent share of them, which raises the obvious question of whether a third season finishes the story or leaves room for a fourth. Nothing in the announcement answers that.
What came before
The first season premiered on TV Asahi and its affiliates in the NUMAnimation block in April 2023, with HIDIVE streaming it as it aired. Netflix carried the series in many countries outside the US and Canada.
Season two followed in January 2024, again on HIDIVE, which also produced an English dub.
Then came the compilation film. The Dangers in My Heart: The Movie opened in Japan on February 13, and HIDIVE screened it in the US on February 16 with subtitles and on February 18 with the dub. The film has sold more than 170,000 tickets worldwide, with screenings in the United States, Latin America, France, Germany, Italy and parts of Asia. For a recap movie of a TV romance, that is a strong number, and it is the clearest evidence that the franchise has an audience outside Japan.
The smaller pieces around it
Sakurai’s manga also produced a Twi-Yaba spinoff that got its own anime in December 2023, a light novel written by Kota Nozomi with illustrations by Sakurai and sune in September 2024, and a spinoff manga by Haika Nanasaka that launched on the Champion Cross site in July 2025 under the title Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu Love Comedy ga Hajimaranai.
The main series had a winding publication history too: it started in Weekly Shonen Champion in March 2018, moved to Champion Cross a month later, and moved again in July 2018 when Champion Cross merged with Champion Tap! to become Manga Cross. It stayed there until the end.
Why this one is worth tracking
This is a school romance that earns its emotional payoffs instead of announcing them, which puts it in a different class from most of the season’s idol and romance vehicles and closer to something like Isshiki-san Wants to Know About Love. Kyotaro starts as a kid performing darkness he does not actually have, and Anna turns out to be stranger and kinder than the class-idol slot she was given. Seven Seas describes the setup exactly that way, and it is the reason the series escaped the pile of similar premises.
A third season landing after the manga’s ending has one advantage most adaptations never get: the author’s actual conclusion is available. If the production is smart, that is what it builds toward.
No streaming details, staff or cast have been confirmed for the new season yet. HIDIVE has handled every previous installment, but nothing official has been said this time.
