Instead of simply dating, the two engage in an increasingly complex series of mind games designed to get the other to confess their feelings first. The pair’s elaborate mind games often involve other members of the school’s student council, including the pessimistic otaku Yu Ishigami and the bizarre but lovable student council treasurer, Chika Fujiwara.

Both seasons of the anime are directed by Shinichi Omata, who previously directed Rozen Maiden, The Record of Grancrest War.
