Considered a genius due to having the highest grades in the country, Miyuki Shirogane leads the prestigious Shuchiin Academy's student council as its president, working alongside the beautiful and wealthy vice president Kaguya Shinomiya. The two are often regarded as the perfect couple by students despite them not being in any sort of romantic relationship.
After The First Kiss That Never Ends, continue with Vol. 16
Where The First Kiss That Never Ends leaves off in the original hasn’t been confirmed, so this starting point is an estimate.

Stairway to Adulthood
- Anime ends at
- Ep 2
Stairway to Adulthood skips substantial manga material and is best treated as optional backfill. For a continuous reading route, use the First Kiss starting point.
Final Chapter
Final Chapter is announced but has no verified release date or completed broadcast endpoint, so no manga starting point is published yet.
