About the Series
Kaguya-sama: Love Is War is an acclaimed romantic comedy manga series created by Aka Akasaka. Set at the prestigious Shuchiin Academy, it follows the daily encounters of two extraordinarily talented student leaders.
Kaguya Shinomiya, the brilliant vice president from a mega-conglomerate family, and Miyuki Shirogane, the top-ranked student council president, harbor strong mutual feelings for each other. However, their immense pride prevents either from confessing their love directly.
