Aka Akasaka Sadistically Created This Kaguya-Sama: Love is War Character Just to Keep Him in the Sidelines

Kaguya-sama: Love is War by Aka Akasaka has a cast of unique characters who all play significant parts in the amusing romance, mind games, and drama that take place within the student council at Shuchiin Academy. However, there’s one character that seems to be destined to remain in the shadows: it’s none other than Yu Ishigami. Despite his engaging backstory, interesting personality, and loyal fanbase, Ishigami is often relegated to the sidelines.
