Please read Kaguya-Sama Love is War, it's worth your time it's only 281 chapters with comedy, romance and nice plots that can make attached to the manga and want to continue reading it until the end, it succeeds on balancing both comedy and plot story.
(Spoilers)
Kaguya-Sama Love is War is an interesting manga that can be described like: "Death Note if Light and L had a high school crush on each other" which is not as stupid as it seems, the writer did a great job on writing the story and the love relationship between both Kaguya and Miyuki and also the other characters that are in it, with lots of funny panels and interesting character backstories.
The Story and it's plots.
In my opinion the way the writer made pacing of the story and its plot was kind of bad in my opinion, but it's not really the worst. It's just that he could've made the story and its plot faster. What I mean is that some details are not necessarily for the reader and the story one of them being is Chika's food war which doesn't add anything to her character, another example is Nagisa Kashiwagi and her boyfriend's useless relationship and Maki's Jealousy of her, Maki's brother appearance in the story is useless he was there just for the final arc and pretty much he didn't do anything to either lift our expectations for him. All of that saying it doesn't mean the story is bad. No, the story is good but the pacing of it is slow in my opinion some characters are annoying/doesn't add anything to the story other than to annoy you + not to forget the teachers who were mentioned on the story don't add anything. BUT it's a good story 8.0/10 I give it.
Characters and their "Love War"
The Relationship between the two MCs
It's a very interesting idea to see who is the first one to reveal their feelings to the other side and how they both try use many tricks to make it happen so they won't lose the "war", Miyuki being the poor one who joined the school so it can help his family money problem and Kaguya being the daughter of a prestigious family. You can tell clearly the long gap between these two and how hard it is for Miyuki to win the "war", even though Kaguya is from a very high family she sometimes act like a kid example: When Miyuki brought his own food with lots of different ingredients in it, Kaguya was very jealous because he had octopus shaped sausages even though she has high tier chefs and high quality food she still was jealous and wanted to eat them without letting Miyuki know that, in Miyuki's POV he thought she was looking down on him because he thought she was pitying him over the poor (price) food. Another example is when Kaguya was sick and Miyuki went to visit her to check on her condition the maid tells him that the room in which him and Kaguya (on her bed being sick) won't be monitored and it has a soundproof so no one would hear anything if he does anything inappropriate in it, after that Kaguya wakes up and drags Miyuki onto her bed with him then wakes up finding him sleeping with her and gets mad at him and tells him to leave, turns out he didn't do anything to her and she got sad because she wanted him to do something with her on the bed...Kaguya also gets mad if she sees Miyuki talking to other girls than him which is understandable since she actually has a crush on him after all. Miyuki is a very interesting character with its flaws but he tries hard to hide them so people won't get disappointed when they know the "real" which was caused by the trauma he got from when his mom left him and took his sister so he tries to be more useful to people and want them to be happy. Kaguya on the other hand used to keep her distance between people so she doesn't hurt them whether it was physical or mentally but after meeting Miyuki she has changed to the persona we see from the first manga panel. Their relationship is actually interesting it all started from hearing the rumors of them dating and the more we dive onto the manga where some events change their way of feelings on each other until they both truly loved the other one and had to find ways to make the other confess.
Yu and Miko
Yu as a character has a lot of flaws one of them having a crush on Tsubame because she reminds him of his last crush, which is a stupid thing because his last crush got into trouble and spreading rumors of him being a stalker and a pervert (true), still for me Yu's crush on Tsubame was dumb and after he got rejected by her he went and switched to Miko, for me it was the best choice since the beginning and it was obvious that she was going to be his partner. Another thing that was stupid with both Yu and Miko that they're going to repeat the same thing that both Kaguya and Miyuki's "Love is War" phase, something that I wished that it won't happen because there was no originality and it'll take stupid long time for one of them to confess NOT TO FORGET that they were going to kiss each other until Yu got a call and after that the writer forgot this and threw it away as if it never happened. the relationship between Yu and Miyuki is nice and sometimes has nice funny panels like when they were talking about Kaguya's small boobs and how it's good for her since she's in the archery club and how Chika can use her boobs as a stand for her bow, he got smacked by Chika and humiliated by Kaguya. Not to mention he got Miyuki into reading Mangas the SPICY Mangas. Yu as a character is nice and smart, the way Miyuki and the others helped him overcome his past was nice too and interesting to the story. Miko as a character is kind of childish her comedy is mid, but still better than Chika. All I can say about her is she's a decent character and her relationship with Yu is nice even though they're having the same "war" as the MCs.All I can say that they are decent to trash.
Chika And Ai
All I can say about Chika is that the writer didn't put as much work as he did to Yu, Chika is a semi-main character but we know little knowledge about her life and past, her first encounter with Kaguya is that she told her to stop playing the piano and she did, after that she challenged Kaguya if Chika won Kaguya must become her friend if she won and that's all to her. SHE IS ANNOYING AND ACTS LIKE A DUMB KID FFS, also there are chapters where she visits Ramen restaurants and enters a 1v1 with some random top eater in Japan, wish is somewhat nice but it doesn't add anything to the main story or her character as a whole. Now for Ai, unlike Chika the writer put some effort writing Ai making her an interesting character more than Chika, Ai is the servant and protector of Kaguya and she's like a bigger sister to her, she listens to all of Kaguya's pain and try to comfort her and help her overcome them, she even helps Kaguya on trying to make Miyuki loses the "war". One of the coolest things about her is that she infiltrated the school to go and replace some stuff while there were lasers to detect thief's, she did it with ease and it was very cool. Her back story is also nice and interesting, she used to be Kaguya's brother follower she tells him everything that Kaguya does/wants to do every single day, until her bond with her became very strong that she no longer tells the truth to Kaguya's brother since she really cares about her and she fears that Kaguya might hate her if she finds out, in the end of the story she no longer works for Kaguya but they're still like-sisters relationship. Now for the relationship between Ai and Chika...It's stupid and has no story to it, it only started because Ai wanted to know how it feels to kiss someone and Chika ended up being the one she wants to kiss. Stupid relationship because of stupid reason.
Summary
Kaguya-Sama Love is War is a good manga that has it's flaws yes, but I still do recommend it and I give it 9.0/10.(before anyone shouting I gave THE STORY 8.0 NOT THE WHOLE WORK)
