Viz Media is publishing the manga in English, and it
describes the story:
All's fair when
love is war!
Two
geniuses. Two brains. Two hearts. One battle. Who will confess their love
first…?!
Kaguya
Shinomiya and Miyuki Shirogane are two geniuses who stand atop their
prestigious academy's student council, making them the elite among elite. But
it's lonely at the top and each has fallen for the other. There's just one huge
problem standing in the way of lovey-dovey bliss—they're both too prideful to
be the first to confess their romantic feelings and thus become the “loser” in
the competition of love! And so begins their daily schemes to force the other
to confess first!
