Considered a genius due to having the highest grades in the country, Miyuki Shirogane leads the prestigious Shuchiin Academy's student council as its president, working alongside the beautiful and wealthy vice president Kaguya Shinomiya. The two are often regarded as the perfect couple by students despite them not being in any sort of romantic relationship. However, the truth is that after spending so much time together, the two have developed feelings for one another; unfortunately, neither is willing to confess, as doing so would be a sign of weakness. With their pride as elite students on the line, Miyuki and Kaguya embark on a quest to do whatever is necessary to get a confession out of the other. Through their daily antics, the battle of love begins.

It is difficult to be a genius, other people believe that you are a superhuman and have no problems. However, it is wrong. Kaguya Shinomiya and Miyuki Shirogane are these two geniuses, who are the top students of the Shuchiin Academy. They both become members of the student council and develop feeling for each other; yet, neither are willing to admit them. Kaguya-sama: Love is War is a love story of Kaguya Shinomiya and Miyuki Shirogane; whoever makes a declaration of love first- loses 'the war'.—Scientiiaa
