Girl meets boy the old-fashioned way - in an online game. The first volume of
the popular manga that inspired the anime series! College student Akane has just
been dumped by her boyfriend. Heartbroken, she decides to quit the online RPG
they used to play together, but instead of deleting her account, she logs in and
battles low-level enemies to relieve her stress and hurt feelings. There, she
meets Yamada, an elite pro gamer so reclusive that Akane can?t decide if he?s
awkward or alluring. When Akane encounters her ex at a gaming convention, she
makes the snap decision to pretend Yamada is her boyfriend and soon the two of
them are spending more time together in the game and in real life. The problem
is, Yamada is only interested in the game. As Akane's feelings grow, will
Yamada's focus stay on the game? Volume 1 includes Chapters 1-9.
