Manga like Kaguya-sama: Love is War: 6 series to read in English

Kaguya-sama: Love is War is set at Shuchiin Academy, a school for the children of Japan's elite. Miyuki Shirogane is the student council president there and he has no money or connections.

We picked the series on Mangainfo that share the most themes and genres with Kaguya-sama in AniList's tags and have English volumes out, and a more popular series won any close call. All volume counts below are as of October 2026.

The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You

This is the closest match on the list. It shares the meta jokes and parody of Kaguya-sama and adds plenty of slapstick. The series is by Rikito Nakamura and Yukiko Nozawa.

The setup is simple. It starts with 100 confessions and 100 rejections. From there it becomes a romantic comedy with ecchi moments and a polyamorous female harem. Its tags also list surreal comedy.

It is still releasing in Japan with 27 volumes there. Ghost Ship has put out 19 volumes in English. Volume 20 comes out on 8 December 2026. The full list is on the series page.

Genshiken

Kaguya-sama spends a lot of time inside a school organization. Genshiken by Shimoku Kio shares that school club theme. It also shares the meta humor and parody.

This one mixes comedy and drama with romance. Its themes are otaku culture, college life, a school club and cosplay.

The series finished in Japan at 21 volumes. Only 2 volumes are out in English so far. No next English volume is listed.

Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out!

Tsundere energy and slapstick tie Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out! to Kaguya-sama. Both also center on a romance between a boy and a girl.

The series is by Take. It is a romantic comedy set at college with some ecchi in it. A tomboy is among its tagged themes.

English has caught up with Japan at 14 volumes each. The series is still releasing in Japan. No next English volume is listed yet.

Sometimes Even Reality Is a Lie!

Like Kaguya-sama this is a school romance with a tsundere in the mix. Its love story is between a boy and a girl.

Sometimes Even Reality Is a Lie! is by Niichi. It is a comedy with crossdressing among its themes. It also has a calm iyashikei side.

The series finished in Japan at 9 volumes. English readers have 6 of them so far. No next English volume is listed.

The Way of the Househusband

Parody and slapstick carry this one. A married couple sits at the middle of it. Those are the threads it shares with Kaguya-sama.

Tatsu earned the nickname Immortal Dragon when he was in the yakuza. Those days are behind him. Now he stays home and does the housework. His wife Miku is the one who goes out to work. The series is by Kousuke Oono.

The Way of the Househusband is still releasing in Japan with 17 volumes. VIZ Media has 15 out in English. Volume 16 arrives on 17 November 2026.

Kubo Won't Let Me Be Invisible

Readers who want a gentler school romance should try this last pick. It shares the school setting with Kaguya-sama. It also shares a coming of age thread and a romance between a boy and a girl.

Junta Shiraishi is a high school boy with almost no presence. His teachers forget he is in the room. His classmates walk right past him without noticing. The series is by Nene Yukimori and its tags include iyashikei and chibi.

Kubo Won't Let Me Be Invisible finished in Japan at 12 volumes. All 12 are out in English. It is the only complete series in English on this list.
