Tomozaki isone of the best gamers in Japan, and in his opinion, the game of real life is one ofthe worst. No clear-cut rules for success, horribly balanced, and nothing makessense. But then he meets a gamer who's just as good as him, and she offers toteach him a few exploits...

The tutorial phase is over! After finishing the busiest summer of his life, Tomozaki is ready to get back to school. He may not always agree with Hinami’s approach, but he’s still working to find the best strats for clearing the game of life. His first challenge of the new semester: to influence none other than Erika Konno, one of the scariest girls in class! As a reigning queen bee, she’s decided the school sports tournament isn’t cool enough to care about, and she’s dragging everyone else down with her...Can Tomozaki be the one to change her mind?

THE BEST RPGS HAVE GREAT SIDE QUESTS, TOO. Tomozaki has been leveling up at a steady pace since he began training with Hinami, but he isn’t the only one wrestling with the game of life. What pushes Hinami forward? How is Izumi faring in her relationship with Nakamura? When did Kikuchi start seeing the world in color? And will Mimimi learn to outrun her insecurities? This series of vignettes, highlighting several major characters, provides a glimpse into the inner lives of Tomozaki’s new social circle!

Game on.Fumiya Tomozaki’s opinion on the game of “real life” has been changing ever since Aoi Hinami started teaching him how to play. He’s not convinced it’s the greatest, but at least it doesn’t suck. Meanwhile, student elections are coming up, and obviously, Hinami will be running for student council president. But when Mimimi decides to challenge her, Tomozaki’s going to find out if he’s leveled up enough to handle the cross fire!

What makes the game worth playing?The first semester is over, and summer vacation has begun—although that doesn’t mean Tomozaki will get a break from his training with Hinami. His mission this time is a tough one: a coed overnight trip! On top of that, Hinami wants Tomozaki in a relationship by the end of the summer, too! Isn’t that more of an endgame objective?!

MAKING DECISIONS IS HARD WHEN THERE ARE MULTIPLE ENDINGS. With the school festival looming, Tomozaki finds himself busier than ever, his attention split between helping Kikuchi with her script, developing a comedy show with Mimimi, and wrestling with his feelings about Hinami’s instructions to find a girlfriend by the end of the year. As practice for the play begins, Kikuchi and Tomozaki decide to investigate Hinami’s past in order to help strengthen her connection with her role. In the busiest, most electric season of the school year, what emotions will the four of them have to face when the curtain rises...?

LOVE MIGHT BE THE HARDEST GAME OF ALL... It's November, and the school festival is right around the corner. Meetings with Hinami have begun again, and life has mostly returned to normal...until Hinami asks Tomozaki to decide who he wants to be his girlfriend by next week. As he searches for an answer, he's busy planning for the festival, taking photos, and even visiting another school with Mizusawa. But while Hinami's deadline approaches, Tomozaki will have to face his own emotions in a way he never has before...and those of someone close to him.
