He was thinking of high school relationships while smoking some food, and came up with the concept of wanting to reclaim some of his emotions of his youth in a fantasy. He envisioned "two tsunderes who like each other having battles of the mind". He thought that was a very common concept, but was surprised to find that readers were telling him that his premise was innovative. Also at first, he wanted to do more intellectual battles like Death Note but the theme changed more to "clashing of romantic emotions". He has also cited School Rumble as an influence on his work.

Synopsis

The characters are very well developped and completely over the top, which is quite necessary to considering the challenge of the story, which could have been complicated to exploit with lesser characters. While some of their characteristics are classic, they’re pushed to the limit to create intense characters with interesting reactions and making them quite unpredictables. SlimeC0RE Aka Akasaka launched the series in the June issue of Shueisha's seinen manga magazine Miracle Jump on May 19, 2015. [7] The series' last chapter in Miracle Jump was published on January 19, 2016. [8] The manga was then switched to the publisher's Weekly Young Jump magazine on March 24, 2016.

told they are in love and we are immediately expected to care. As a result, I found it difficult to ever form a sort of solid connection with the characters, to ‘root’ for their romance, to think their ridiculous antics were always funny. Miyuki and Kaguya have little chemistry. It feels like I am missing something. With more care given to the characters, this show really could have been something special. The manga won the third Next Manga Award in the comics division for manga published in print book format in 2017. [30] In 2020, along with Aoashi, Kaguya-sama: Love Is War won the 65th Shogakukan Manga Award in the general category.
