My Love Story With Yamada-Kun at Lv999: Release date, Plot, Staff & Cast
After the breakup of Akane Kinoshita, whose boyfriend cheats on her with another girl he met in the game that she used to play with her boyfriend, she learns the hard way that gamer boyfriends can be just as bad as the offline variety. She is about to quit the game, and as she vents her anger by beating mob monsters to a pulp, she has a chance encounter with Akito Yamada, a guildmate with an afro and Noh mask.
Yamada in real life turns out to be somewhat of a legend but the only problem is he is only interested in the game. While his gaming stats might be maxed out, Yamada is inexperienced in matters of the heart and Akane finds herself moved by him. Making new friends along the way, can Akane shake the heart of Yamada or will Yamada’s focus stay on the game?
