Series Synopsis
It’s the 90s, and a new wave of video games are spreading across Japan’s arcades, candy stores, and shopping malls. Better graphics, tighter mechanics, and a growing pool of worthy challengers, it’s more than enough to get the competitive blood pumping. One such gamer who has been bitten by the bug is Haruo Yaguchi (voiced by Kohei Amasaki).
In his local territory, Haruo has earned a reputation as a top player. However, there is always someone stronger.
One day, Haruo is soundly crushed at his game of choice. Shockingly, his opponent is none other than his classmate Akira Oono (voiced by Sayumi Suzushiro).
As the quiet daughter of a wealthy family, Akira has the exact opposite look of the stereotypical gamer. But, don’t let that fool you. Not only can Akira play with the best, she can beat them as well.
In an instant, Haruo found a rival in Akira. After some time, though, Haruo begins to realize he may have actually found someone a lot more special.
