Kaguya-sama: Love is War

Kaguya-sama: Love is War

A comedy manga about a prestigious academy’s student council vice president Kaguya and student council president Miyuki who both try to make the other confess their feelings of love.

I got into this series when the anime adaptation started. I really enjoyed the anime and started reading the manga. This is one of those rare cases where I really prefer the anime over the manga. I think Aka Akasaka art is solid and I love this serious comedy about these two elite students who are too prideful to just admit their mutual attraction. It’s just that the anime voice cast really brings the characters to life and accentuates their likability while the manga versions sometimes comes off as cold. I’ll personally stick with the anime myself.

It’s available in English from VIZ.
