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!

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...

From the pages of the hit light novel series Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki comes a spin-off manga by the original author where beloved classmate Mimimi is the star! Whether doing high jumps or blending with a crowd, Minami Nanami has always been flexible both physically and socially. But when her friend Aoi outshines her at her track-and-field specialty, Mimimi starts to wish for something more, a light to claim as her own. As she contemplates her talents, her mom asks if she’ll model in a local ad for her makeup company. Faced with an unfamiliar challenge, can Mimimi find herself in this dazzling new world?

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.

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?!

LEVELING UP DOESN’T SOLVE EVERY PROBLEM. The school festival is over, and so is winter break. Tomozaki has reached a major milestone, but now there’s a new hurdle in his path: plans for the future. Of course, Hinami’s training is still ongoing, and between an offline meeting with other Atafami players, a visit to Tama-chan’s house, and his budding relationship with Kikuchi, the new semester is looking to be fuller than ever-and more challenging, too!

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...?
