Kaguya-sama: Love Is War is serialized in Weekly Young Jump and will begin airing in winter 2019. She is one of the main characters, and is engaged in a fierce battle with the other main character, Shirogane Miyuki. I would like to convey the cute charm of Kaguya Shinomiya!
【Kaguya-sama: Love Is War】I want to be confessed to Kaguya Shinomiya
Kaguya falls in love with Shirogane Miyuki, the student council president who is also a member of the same student council, but as she has a very high sense of pride, she cannot bear to confess her feelings to him herself. She thinks, "If the president really wants to, then I'll do it," but in fact Shirogane himself has come to the exact same conclusion, so their battle changes from "I'd be happy to go out with him" to "How can I get him to confess?"

Before she met Shirogane Miyuki, Shinomiya Kaguya was an icy woman with an aura that kept everyone at bay. She also criticized Shirogane for his bad looks, and naturally didn't have a good impression of him. Kaguya is a rich young lady, but her relationship with her family is not good, and the only person she can trust is Hayasaka, and she never shows any emotional ups or downs or smiles.
Kaguya Has Changed

This is what she looks like now. It seems that Kaguya's personality has changed since meeting Shirogane, and even after she started expressing her feelings, she is reluctant to show them, but when she is at home with Hayasaka, she shows her emotions without shame. Hayasaka, who has served Kaguya since long ago, is so shocked by her transformation that she says she wasn't such an idiot before, and when the chairman is involved, she sometimes seems unable to see clearly.

Kaguya Shinomiya is a sheltered girl born into an incredibly wealthy family, and perhaps as a result of this, she has a very naive side to her. Her naivety can sometimes lead to fatal, embarrassing behavior.

Kaguya managed to achieve her goal of watching a movie with Shirogane, but that was on the premise that she would watch the movie in a seat next to him. However, Kaguya is naive and unaware of the existence of seat assignments, so she is unable to fully grasp where Shirogane is sitting and makes a fool of herself by sitting diagonally above him.

In a teen magazine brought in by Secretary Fujiwara, the topic of when people had their first experience came up. However, Kaguya, a naive and sheltered girl, had no idea what a first experience was. After she gave a succession of crazy answers that had no brainpower whatsoever, Shirogane and Fujiwara finally realized, and Fujiwara told Kaguya what her first experience was, resulting in a historic defeat for Kaguya.

Something that was not even mentioned in the main story, let alone to Shirogane. Only Secretary Fujiwara and Kaguya know the truth, and it seems that something happened on Valentine's Day last year. However, the moment Secretary Fujiwara mentioned the topic, Kaguya was very flustered and desperately tried to stop Secretary Fujiwara. It is probably something that Kaguya's naivety caused.

Kaguya bought a smartphone after her favorite flip phone broke. Then she finally had the chance to communicate with the student council members on LINE. However, Kaguya was unaware of the system that notifies the other person when a message has been read, and found herself in an impossible predicament with three consecutive read messages in an instant. However, thanks to Hayasaka's fine play, she somehow managed to get out of the situation.

Shinomiya Kaguya often has trouble being honest due to her excessive pride, and she has a personality that makes it difficult for her to throw a straight ball. Because of this, she despises Secretary Fujiwara's words and actions, who is unashamedly open about how she feels and throws a straight ball right down the middle, and sometimes curses him out of envy. However, the same straight ball is also directed at Kaguya, so she generally turns her back on him right away.

Secretary Fujiwara is jealous of the chairman's homemade lunch box and shares it with him without any embarrassment. Kaguya is naturally jealous, but her pride gets in the way and she can't say anything. Furthermore, the next day he curses Secretary Fujiwara for the barbaric act of asking him to make him lunch. However, he changes his mind when Secretary Fujiwara shares some octopus sausages with him.

When Shirogane's sister, Shirogane Kei, came to the student council room. Kaguya hopes to become closer to Kei, who has a similar vibe to the chairman, and hopefully become a family-like relationship, but Secretary Fujiwara has a tendency to get inside people's heads, so he was already very close with her before she met him. What's more, he has even arranged to go shopping with her on her next day off, so Kaguya curses Fujiwara, but when he invites her too, she changes her mind.

Kaguya, who came shopping with Secretary Fujiwara, her sister, and Kei, tries to find an opportunity to talk to Kei, but the situation does not go well due to the intervention of the Fujiwara sisters. Moreover, Secretary Fujiwara is bold and hugs Kei without any shame, engaging in physical contact. Kaguya curses Fujiwara as a lowly woman, but turns her back on him by becoming a lowly woman herself.
【Kaguya-sama: Love Is War】Kaguya Shinomiya with a weak mentality

Kaguya Shinomiya, who appears perfect at first glance but is not perfect at all, actually has a side to her that makes her quite vulnerable to being shot. When Shirogane's eyes returned to normal, he started to think that this was not right, and Hayasaka teased him harshly, saying that he had changed his attitude just because his eyes had changed, which resulted in this. Incidentally, this mentality and high pride seem to be unique to the family.
