Summary

Kaguya-sama: Love Is War ~ The Geniuses' War of Love and Brains ~ is a school romantic comedy manga by Aka Akasaka, serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Young Jump in Japan since 2016; the Taiwan edition was published by Tong Li Publishing with translation by Jiang Yulin. The story is set at Shuchiin Academy, which admits only the children of distinguished families and top students: student council vice president Kaguya Shinomiya comes from a prominent family and excels at everything, while president Miyuki Shirogane comes from an ordinary background yet holds the top grades through nearly self-torturing effort. After half a year together, they have long since fallen for each other, but both are convinced that "in love, whoever confesses first loses." So the two proud honors students, utterly unwilling to express their feelings honestly, each replay scenarios and set traps in their minds, all to force the other to speak up first. Student council secretary Chika Fujiwara, artless and direct, often upsets their elaborate schemes by accident; treasurer Yu Ishigami also appears in this volume. The book moves in an episodic "one battle of wits per chapter" rhythm, paired with exaggerated inner monologues and facial expressions, turning a romance that could end with a single confession into a laugh-filled tug-of-war. This volume is Volume 1 of the series, collecting the opening of the story.

Editor's review

在恋爱题材几乎被写遍的漫画里，《辉夜姬》厉害的地方在于把「告白」变成了一场场规则清晰的攻防战：一张电影票、一副扑克牌、一份便当，都能被两位主角推演出十几种可能走向。读者看的不是剧情反转，而是两颗高智商的心在自尊面前笨拙打转。赤坂アカ的分镜干净，表情演出极富张力，尴尬、得意、心慌都被画得恰到好处；藤原千花的存在则像一根随时戳破气球的针，把过度用脑的两人拉回日常。作为第1卷，它已经定下整部作品的节奏与基调：轻松、好读，却在笑点底下藏着少年少女对自我价值的敏感。想找一部不用啃设定、又能反复重读的恋爱喜剧，从这一卷开场正合适。
