About this title

Synopsis

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! [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Birthday: January 1 Blood Type: AB Height: 158 cm Vice president of the student council of Shuchiin Academy, member of the Shinomiya Zaibatsu, and the daughter of the Shinomiya group, Kaguya Shinomiya is a multi-talented genius who can do anything if she sets her mind to it. Due to the way she was raised in the Shinomiya Family, she instinctively looks down on other people and thinks of ways to use them for her own benefit. Kaguya rarely interacted with other people before she joined the student council, but that has begun to change. She is an incredibly sheltered girl, resulting in her lacking in several pieces of what might be considered common sense. She still does not understand love very well, and her main objective is to make Miyuki Shirogane fall in love with and confess to her.

Age: 17 Date of Birth: September 9 Hair Color: Yellow Eye Color: Dark Blue Blood type: O Occupation: high school student, student council president Affiliation: Shuchiin Academy The student council president of Shuchiin Academy. Monstruously smart, placing among the top in the nation in mock exams, he's skilled in management as well, so he is respected by others as a genius, but it is more correct to say that he's addicted to hard work. He will never turn down an opportunity to listen to people who come to talk to him or do favors for them, and sincerely invests himself in others' well-beings. He cannot leave others in trouble, and has a knack for finding those in trouble as well. He studies for ten hours a day and works part-time jobs too, resulting in a life where no one knows how or when he even sleeps. He's in love with Kaguya, the school council vice president, but refuses to express his feelings to her because he thinks that the one who confesses to the other is going to be the weaker person in the relationship.
