Synopsis

At the renowned Shuchiin Academy, Miyuki Shirogane and Kaguya Shinomiya are the student body's top representatives. Ranked the top student in the nation and respected by peers and mentors alike, Miyuki serves as the student council president. Alongside him, the vice president Kaguya—eldest daughter of the wealthy Shinomiya family—excels in every field imaginable. They are the envy of the entire student body, regarded as the perfect couple.

However, despite both having already developed feelings for the other, neither are willing to admit them. The first to confess loses, will be looked down upon, and will be considered the lesser. With their honor and pride at stake, Miyuki and Kaguya are both equally determined to be the one to emerge victorious on the battlefield of love!

a great romantic comedy

The story is somewhat unique because the realization of their true feelings is revealed early. However, you will get blue-balled for some time because the characters keep missing each other, but disregarding this and taking the anime for its comedy will get you through to beautiful scenes and a great lead-up to a tremendous romantic payoff.

The character's makeup is the same as any typical anime with typical categories, which is all right. Every character faces real-world problems and has had to overcome adversity either before or during when the show takes place, which is why the elite high schoolers become more relatable ...

Mixed Feelings
This show revolves around a pair of high school students who are in love with each other and enter into a competition to confess their feelings first.

Kaguya: Love is War is the product of training a GPT-3† model on the corpus of anime and manga, then asking it to generate two of the most basic tsundere (Kaguya and Miyuki) characters available and a deredere (Chika) character. These characters can never act like real people or else the only thread holding the plot together, that both Miyuki and Kaguya are too prideful to admit they like the other, would immediately collapse. Chika, effectively an agent of chaos, is Schrödinger's idiot: she is simultaneously an expert and utterly incompetent at reading emotions and superficially dumb while being an expert in many things.

Both Kaguya ...
