Kaguya-Sama: Love is WarStreaming on Crunchyroll.Female Lead and Male Lead are both members of the student council at a prestigious school. She’s super rich and well trained; he’s a commoner super genius with top grades. Together they battle against one another in the war of love! They both want a confession, but neither wants to be the first one to give it.I was a bit worried when this show opened up with an explanation of love as a power-struggle where someone always comes out on top while using visuals of a woman using a guy only for his money, but once that was out of the way, I found myself unexpectedly charmed. These are just two prideful morons too afraid to admit their own feelings for each other. Instead, they play mind games and tricks to try to set up situations that will force the other to confess to them.Basically, they are both morons. Throw in the secretary as an unexpected integer in their calculating schemes, and you’ve got some great chemistry. Sometimes they both come off pretty shallow, but when you remind yourself they’re just a couple of morons with crushes they are too stuck up to act on, it’s fine. I don’t know if this dynamic can work for an entire season, and romantic comedies don’t tend to hold my attention - but I’m curious to give it a go.Ah, I forgot to mention the directing in this show is great. I wasn’t expecting so many visually interesting scenes from such a premise. That alone could give it reason to hook me longer than I expect.Will I watch Episode 2? I am shocking myself by saying: Yes! -- source link
