Celebration Sketch
Aka Akasaka’s Kaguya-sama: Love Is War launched in the pages of Shueisha’s Miracle Jump in 2015. The series ran in the publication for a year before being moved over to Weekly Young Jump . Nine compiled volumes have been produced to date, with the latest hitting stores on April 19.
Viz Media currently holds the rights to the Kaguya-sama: Love Is War manga in North America. They describe the title as:
Two geniuses. Two brains. Two hearts. One battle. Who will confess their love first…?!
Kaguya Shinomiya and Miyuki Shirogane are two geniuses who stand atop their prestigious academy’s student council, making them the elite among elite. But it’s lonely at the top and each has fallen for the other. There’s just one huge problem standing in the way of lovey-dovey bliss—they’re both too prideful to be the first to confess their romantic feelings and thus become the “loser” in the competition of love! And so begins their daily schemes to force the other to confess first!
