Why It Rocks: Pound for pound, Kaguya-sama Love is War isn’t just the funniest anime of the decade, it also has some of the best romance writing I’ve seen out of the medium in some time. The show is about two tsundere high school lovebirds, Kaguya Shinomiya and Miyuki Shirogane. But both are too prideful to be the first person to confess their love so instead of just talking, providing the anime’s main conflict. They put each other in compromising social situations to trap each other into confessions. But for whatever reason, the show’s formula just works. Its comedy is contemporary and painfully relatable, and its supporting casts of characters are just as interesting and hilarious as its dual protags.
