My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999

A broken‑hearted gamer teams up with a lone wolf to turn a virtual meetup into a real‑life romance.

When Akane Kinoshita’s boyfriend ditches her for another girl, she channels her heartbreak into a digital revenge plot. She logs back into the sprawling MMO Forest of Savior, the very world where she and her ex spent countless nights, and volunteers to help organize a real‑life meet‑up for the game’s community. The goal? To make her former flame squirm while she watches from the sidelines. Enter Akito Yamada, a notorious solo‑player with a reputation for crushing raids and an aversion to social niceties. He’s the guild’s quiet powerhouse, and Akane ropes him into her scheme, hoping his stoic presence will both shield her and give her a shoulder to lean on. As they scramble to pull off the event, their clashing personalities spark unexpected chemistry. Akane’s fiery optimism slowly chips away at Yamada’s icy exterior, while his pragmatic calm grounds her impulsive tendencies. Between in‑game battles and awkward offline encounters, the duo discovers that the real quest isn’t about scoring points or getting back at an ex—it’s about leveling up their own hearts.

A sweet, slow-burn romance between a college student recovering from a cheating ex and a socially awkward high school pro gamer, set partly in an MMO. Emotional maturity and respectful boundaries are central themes, with mild fanservice limited to a few kisses and one fade-to-black implication.
