Last Game (2025)

In elementary school, the rich and spoiled Yanagi Naoto was known for excelling in both studies and sports. But then he suffered the first setback of his life when Kujou Mikoto, a girl from a poor family, transferred to his school and performed better than Naoto at every turn. Reeling from this unforgivable blow to his pride, Naoto decided that he had to make Mikoto lose at something... by making her lose her heart to him, which he could then break! Now that they're both in college, will Naoto finally be able to win Mikoto's affections-or will he lose this final game with her?

STAR-CROSSED GAMBITKujou and Yanagi are both taking part in the Astronomy Club’s welcome trip for new members. Yanagi is reeling from their accidental kiss, but Kujou remains oblivious around him—and unguarded. Hoping to press his advantage, Yanagi tries to get her to open up about her feelings toward him on their way to a stargazing exercise, but a sudden downpour leaves them stranded together...overnight!

YOUR MOVEKujou has begun to feel nervous when she’s in Yanagi’s presence, while Yanagi laments her unnatural behavior. As Souma watches how awkwardly they act around each other, his feelings toward Kujou begin to change. Meanwhile, the Astronomy Club holds a hotpot party at Souma’s place, where the secret of his past is revealed! This volume also includes the one-shot “Ninja Love.”

HEART-POUNDING PLOYYanagi and Kujou’s trip to an amusement park begins with a haunted house, where Yanagi offers to hold her hand if she’s scared. But with Momoka and Souma (and Yoshida-senpai) meddling, something is bound to go awry! Meanwhile, watching Momoka and Yanagi together is making Kujou feel uneasy...and her changing behavior is beginning to change Souma, too.

GETTING TOUCHY-FEELYNo matter how Yanagi shows his affection for her, nothing seems to be getting through to Kujou. He can go on dates with her, touch her hair, and even lean close as he stares deep into her eyes. What will it take? A kiss?! Meanwhile, Kei invites the Astronomy Club to visit his family home out in the countryside where they learn what makes Yanagi’s hotheaded romantic rival tick.

A SHOCKING CONFESSIONThere’s finally been a confession! Just not the one Yanagi’s been trying to muster up the courage for. When Kei tells Kujou that he likes her, it gets Kujou thinking...what does it even mean to like someone? Now she’s stuck—not only does she need to find a way to answer Kei’s confession without destroying their friendship, but she also now has to look within. Could she have feelings for Yanagi after all?

Kei's beaten Yanagi to the punch (even without the several-years head-start) and confessed his feelings to Kujou. But now things are super awkward-Kujou's yet to give him an answer, and all she can think about is Yanagi. Kei takes the opportunity to invite her on an aquarium date and finally get her answer, even if it's not the one he wants to hear. But will the two be able to move on amicably from this?

SAME BUT DIFFERENT PAGESBoth Yanagi and Kujou finally have the same goal--to confess their love to each other. The problem is that they’re still absolutely convinced the other will reject them. How many intimate moments will it take until the duo realize their hearts are beating to the same rhythm? Maybe a trip to Yanagi’s family ryokan will help!

FACING THE FUTUREWhile Kujou struggles to capture Yanagi’s heart (entirely unaware that she’s had it in her grasp for years now), Yanagi begins to think about his future with the family business. Now that his father’s arrived from abroad, it’s the first opportunity he’s had to think about anything other than his feelings for his lifelong rival. It’s time for him to make a decision that’ll change everything!

ENDING THE GAMETen years ago, Kujou changed Yanagi’s world. But now, with Yanagi planning to study abroad in America, Kujou’s confession threatens to be put on ice. Even though she’s still convinced that he’s in love with someone who’s everything she isn’t, this may be the last chance she’ll have. It’s finally time for the dense couple to say everything that’s been left unsaid.Also includes three bonus stories!The final volume!
