Notes for nerds
The anime adapts chapters out of order and mixes chapters from different volumes in one episode. For such episodes "ch" is the lowest-highest chapter used and "chList" gives the exact chapters in airing order. The 2-part Stairway to Adulthood special is mapped as one entry because the per-part split of its 10 chapters is not documented. The announced final film ("The Finale") had not been released as of 2026-10-10 and is not included. Per-episode data comes from the Kaguya-sama Fandom wiki (episode pages and the BD/DVD list agree), with segment titles and segment counts cross-checked against Wikipedia.
