So. I see you've clicked on my shitpost-y interest check.
So, now that that's out of the way, those of you familiar with an odd little manga called "Kaguya Wants to Be Confessed To" probably have a much better idea what this thread is about. On the other hand, those of you who aren't are probably just more confused, so allow me to elaborate.
The manga in question is framed as a fairly generic school romance story - super smart student council president and vice president fall in love with each other, but both are too proud to confess. The result, however, is anything but what you'd expect. They start playing REALLY INTENSE mindgames to try to get the other one to slip up and make even the slightest implication of a confession - or else force them through social pressure to confess first, with each of their many "battles" being done in an elaborate fashion of multilayered plans and gambits reminiscent of a JJBA Stand battle or a certain CHILDREN'S CARD GAME. Naturally, this leads to utter madness as even the simple matter of going to a movie together becomes a matter of both parts feigning innocence, massive scale espionage and monitoring operations, and multiple layers of subtextual messages which, naturally, end up misinterpreted, to hilarious results.
So, the purpose of this interest check is to see if anyone else would enjoy trying to write out such a ridiculous plot, possibly with even more chaos and additional parties all trying to manipulate each other into a corner - or just a bunch of unrelated characters inserted into the mix to fuck up the "geniuses" cunning plans. Of course, the level of silliness and "mundane made awesome" could easily vary depending on the situation, but overall it's a lighthearted comedy first, a romance second, and anything really, truly, serious third. I don't have a solid setting or story setup yet, but if anybody thinks it'd be fun, I'll gladly come up with something to fit the number of players and their desired roles.
Naturally, though, given the overall tone we're going for here, I'd prefer high casual to advanced writers above all else. Make your prose as purple as you like and your plans as labyrinthine and ridiculous as you can - we're trying to make this as inherently ridiculous as possible, so I fully expect to see potato chips being taken and eaten and people facing abject, brick-shitting terror over the prospect of being forced to share an umbrella, or... *GASP* HOLDING HANDS! *Insert scare chord here*
Anyway, that's all, folks. Leave a reply here including the gender and overall character type you'd prefer to try if you'd be up for giving it a shot, and thanks for reading!
