Last Game (Japanese: ラストゲーム, Hepburn: Rasuto Gēmu) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Shinobu Amano [ja]. It was serialized in Hakusensha's shōjo manga magazine LaLa from July 2011 to June 2016. The series follows Naoto Yanagi and Mikoto Kujō from the time they meet in elementary school until their second year in college, where most of the series takes place.

Plot

Born into a wealthy family with high social status, Naoto Yanagi is not only rich and spoilt, but also intelligent, gentlemanly, handsome, and has never lost to anyone before, until Mikoto Kūjo transfers into his class. The two are complete opposites as Mikoto is poor and very practical, having near to no knowledge about emotions. They develop a one-sided rivalry where Naoto battles against her in all areas but always suffers defeat, much to his chagrin. Vowing to win against her at least once, he follows Mikoto through middle school, high school, and finally to college, where he requests a "Last Game" against her to decide which of them is better. Remembering how all the girls in his schools fawned over him, Naoto is determined to do the same with Mikoto and then break her heart mercilessly. However, with all his efforts and Mikoto's bluntness and ignorance of human emotions, Naoto unexpectedly finds himself falling in love with her! The story follows their relationship as it progresses, the introduction of events that place their relationship in jeopardy, and each of their own growth as a person.
