For Fans of a Battle of Wits

Death Note

Light Yagami is a high school prodigy
and genius. However, he has an ever-increasing boredom and disdain
for the rotten violent world. One day, he happens upon a notebook,
called a Death Note, which states that if you write a name in it, the
person will die. To his surprise, the notebook’s claims turn out to
be true. This Death Note, the property of the Shinigami gods of
death, gives Light the power to change this world and he decides to
become its new God by executing all criminals.

If you like the romantic game of wits played in Kaguya, but want something more serious as your next series, Death Note is a must-watch. It is a great game of two people trying to outsmart each other. While they end up as friends briefly, they are all still suspicious.

Skilled Teaser Takagi-San

For Nishikata, no one knows him better
than Takagi-san. Unfortunately for him, she uses this knowledge to
unrelentingly tease him on a daily basis. Nishikata vows to get
revenge for all that blushing he has done, but is he good enough to
overcome her skill?

Both shows are about two people that we can very clearly see that they love each other, but won’t admit it to each other. Instead, they show their affections through various ploys, but we all want them to just confess their feelings.

anime like kakegurui

Kakegurui

Hyakkaou Private Academy is an
institution for the elite of society with a very special curriculum.
These students are the children of the wealthiest people in the
world, but they won’t need athletic prowess or book smarts for a
successful life, they will need to know the art of the deal and how
to read people. So instead of traditional classes, this school
features a curriculum of rigorous gambling where the winners live
like kings and the losers suffer. However, they haven’t seen
anything yet until they meet new student Yumeko Jabami.

While there is not much love here like in Kaguya, Kakegurui is all about using your intellect and outsmarting your opponent. If you like clever moves and counter moves, but want something more serious, this is the show for you.

For Fans of Silly Schemes

school-rumble-anime

School Rumble

Sophomore high school student Tenma
Tsukamoto is on a quest to confess her feelings to the boy she likes.
Kenji Harima, a delinquent, is on the same quest. This is the story
of the complicated world of one-sided romance.

Like Kaguya where they are trying to get each other to confess, School Rumble is a gigantic game of Senpai please notice me. One-sided romances abound, the comedy in this series comes from trying to get the other person to notice their feelings.

Asobi Asobase

This is the story of three girls that
couldn’t be more different. Brought together by classroom games, or
their irritation to which, they spend their days fretting over their
English scores.

Did you enjoy silly schemes and random moments in Kaguya-sama? Well, this show is almost exclusively really silly games. Considering it is a comedy series about classmates that like to play silly games, you can guess what to expect.

Masamune-kun-no-Revenge anime

Masamune-kun’s Revenge

As a child, Masamune Makabe confessed
his love to the wealthy and beautiful girl Aki Adagaki. However, she
brutally rejected him and nicknamed him “Piggy” due to his chubby
appearance. Fleeing to his grandfather’s in the country, Masamune
toiled endlessly to become fit. Once he became skinny and handsome,
he returns to his old neighborhood in order to wreck vengeance on the
girl that wronged him. With the help of Aki’s maid, Masamune sets
out to make her fall in love with him so that he can be the one to
break her heart.

Although Masamune-kun’s Revenge has a more serious plot, it is also a show of silly schemes trying to make this girl fall in love with him so he can get his revenge. Of course, things do not go as planned. However, it is less comedy and more of a standard semi-serious romance later on.

For Fans of Hidden Feelings

monthly girls nozaki kun romance anime

Monthly Girls’ Nozaki-kun

Chiyo Sakura has fallen head over heels
for the handsome and oblivious Umetarou Nozaki. However, when she
confesses her love, he gives her an autograph. It turns out this
stoic boy is actually a respected shoujo manga artist. After a series
of misunderstandings, Chiyo winds up not as his girlfriend, but as
his manga assistant.

Both shows are kind of trope reversals for the romance genre. However, they are also about a girl trying to attract the attention of a guy. While the guy returns her feelings in Kaguya, the comedy in Nozaki surrounds the male main just being incredibly dense to the girl’s efforts.

your lie in april romance anime

Your Lie in April

Although once a child prodigy in the
music world, pianist Kousei Arima is left in a downward spiral after
his mother’s death, unable to even hear the sound of his own piano.
Even after two years, Arima has all but left the music world behind,
disappointing fans and rivals alike, and living in a colorless world.
Then one day that that all changes when he is introduced to the
beautiful violinist Kaori Miyazono who brings color into his world
once more.

While Kaguya is a comedy, Your Lie in April is definitely more of a serious drama. However, it revolves entirely around young romance and hidden feelings. Furthermore, it is not just the main couple, but the other friends have hidden feelings as well.

a lull in the sea anime

A Lull in the Sea

Long ago, all of humanity lived
underwater. However, a portion of them soon left to live on the
surface, losing the ability to breath underwater. With this gap
between them, the two societies grew apart. A Lull in the Sea tells
the story of a group of kids forced to attend school above the water
where they come to terms with themselves and the discrimination
against them.

Do you like love triangles that may or may not have resolution? While there was many triangles in Kaguya, A Lull in the Sea is practically built on them. You know what this means? So many people are dishonest with their feelings.
