After Season 2's emotional finale, it's only natural for fans of The Dangers in My Heart (Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu) to start asking: what's next? Will we dive straight into a third season, or will the story continue through a movie? With this anime becoming a surprise hit among romance lovers, there's a lot of buzz - and for good reason. Here's the latest on what could be coming.
Where Season 1 and 2 Took Us
When we first met Ichikawa, he was more than a little odd - a loner with dark thoughts and a love for horror. But that changed when he crossed paths with Yamada, the pretty and popular classmate who turned out to be way more than just her looks. Season 1 focused on their budding connection, full of awkward glances, quiet moments, and some really funny misunderstandings.
By the time we reached Season 2, their bond deepened. Ichikawa began to confront his feelings, and Yamada started opening up in her own way. As Ichikawa once confessed,
“It’s not Yamada’s heart that I don’t understand. It’s my own heart. Even though I really wanted it, I figured I couldn’t get it anyway.” - Ichikawa Kyoutarou
There were still plenty of adorable, clumsy moments, but the emotional stakes grew. The season ended just as they were stepping into more serious territory - right around chapter 113 of the manga - leaving us hanging in the best (and most frustrating) way.
Movie on the Way but No Season 3 Announcement Yet
As of now, there’s no word yet on a third season, but that doesn’t mean we’re left with nothing. Instead, a new movie has been announced - and it’s not just a recap. The upcoming film, titled The Dangers in My Heart: The Movie, will blend highlights from Seasons 1 and 2 with brand-new scenes that continue the story.
The movie is set to hit Japanese theaters on February 13, 2026. Before that, lucky fans who attended Anime Expo 2025 saw a special preview on July 4. For everyone else, the anime is still streaming on HIDIVE and Hulu, so it’s easy to catch up - or rewatch those unforgettable scenes.
The creative team behind the series is returning, with a small update to the credits. Hiroaki Akagi takes on the role of chief director, while Dali Chen steps in as director, with Jukki Hanada on script duties, and Shin-Ei Animation handling the visuals. That means we can expect the same style and emotional warmth that made the series so loved.
What the New Movie or Season 3 Could Explore
If you’re wondering what’s next for Ichikawa and Yamada, the manga offers a pretty clear roadmap. Here’s a peek at what the movie - and eventually Season 3 - might show us:
- Chapters 114 to 123 continue their soft, slow-burn romance.
- From chapter 125, things shift into gear with their relationship becoming more official.
- A concert scene with Kana steals the spotlight in upcoming chapters.
- Supporting characters like Moeko, Haruka, and Adachi start getting more involved.
- Ichikawa and Yamada struggle with opening up emotionally in new and heartfelt ways.
- A school event arc adds both tension and growth to their journey.
The manga currently sits at 140+ chapters, but since each season has covered around 50–60 chapters, the team is probably waiting for a bit more material before announcing anything new. That means a full Season 3 might land in 2027, depending on how things go after the movie.
Why This Love Story Feels So Real
One of the reasons this anime stands out is how real the characters feel. Ichikawa doesn’t fit the mold of a typical male lead, and Yamada is much more than a quiet beauty. Their relationship isn’t rushed - it grows in bits and pieces, just like real ones do. There’s a gentle moment where Ichikawa admits,
“We sort of lost sense of when to stop holding hands … And just slowly … very slowly … I’m worried she might realize how I feel.”- Ichikawa Kyoutarou
Viewers especially loved how Season 2 toned down the darker parts from early on and focused more on connection. There’s something refreshing about the awkward way they express affection. It’s not overly dramatic or cheesy. It’s just honest. And for a lot of people, that makes it one of the most relatable romances in anime.
And let’s not forget the gorgeous animation and thoughtful soundtrack - those quiet piano pieces really hit home. If you're curious, it’s all still up on HIDIVE and Hulu, ready to binge.
What the Future Could Look Like
The upcoming movie will be more than just a refresher. It’s also a way to keep fans connected while the manga builds enough story for a new season. And based on early visuals, it’ll be worth the wait. There's already a teaser trailer for the new movie showing Kana’s performance and some sweet moments between Ichikawa and Yamada that fans have been dying to see animated. Check out the teaser trailer below:
There’s also growing interest in similar anime films releasing in the same window. Be sure to check out our coverage of Assassination Classroom New Movie and Rascal Does Not Dream: Season 3 or Movie What to Expect - they’re shaping up to be just as emotional.
The Takeaway
Whether through a movie or a new season, it’s clear this story isn’t over. The Dangers in My Heart continues to draw in fans because it shows love in a quiet, thoughtful way. The 2026 movie will help bridge the gap while we wait for more, and if the past two seasons are any clue, whatever comes next will be worth sticking around for.
So while there’s no official date yet for Season 3, keep your eyes on updates after the film drops. In the meantime, you’ve got plenty of time to revisit the series or dive into the manga if you haven’t already. Because this story? It’s still just warming up.
