Kaguya-sama: Love Is War Synopsis
Miyuki Shirogane is a student at a prestigious school, Shuchiin Academy, and has been regarded as a genius because of his high grades. Thus, he became a student council president, working alongside the beautiful vice president Kaguya Shinomiya. A lot of people believed that Miyuki and Kaguya are a perfect couple.
At first, the two of them just regarded each other as workmates. As time goes by though, they started to develop romantic feelings towards each other after spending so much time together. But they are too prideful to admit their feelings outright. They then decided to make plans to get each other to confess, initiating a battle of love.
