Sound! Euphonium‘s third season will begin airing in Japan on April 7, a new update has revealed.
There’s also a character trailer for main protagonist Kumiko Oumae:
The new season will follow Kumiko, now the leader of the Kitauji High School band, in her third year of high school. There will also be a fresh face via transfer student Mayu Kuroe, another euphonium player.
The first season of the anime begin airing in 2015. The last entry, the Sound! Euphonium: Ensemble Contest OVA, premiered in Japanese theaters in August 2023. The show is inspired by the Takarajimasha-published novel series by Ayano Takeda.
Yen Press describes the first Sound! Euphonium book as:
After a terrible disappointment at the All-Kyoto Concert Band Competition, music has lost its spark for Kumiko. But her first year at Kitauji High School is a chance for a fresh start. So when it comes time to choose a club, she can’t resist joining the band again–even though they’re simply terrible. The strict new club director has promised to whip them into shape to reach Nationals, but the trouble runs deeper than just a lack of practice. Plus, the discord within the club tugs at Kumiko’s old insecurities. Will Kitauji High School find its rhythm before the competition? Will Kumiko?
The Sound! Euphonium book series began publication in 2013. The latest entry is the 2021 spin-off Tobitatsu Kimi no Se wo Miageru, which has Natsuki Nakagawa as the viewpoint character.
