The storyline is based on Mashiro's superhit manga Loving Yamada at Lv999, which won several accolades over the years. This includes winning the grand prize in the 2022 Tsutaya Comic Award, and securing the ninth and fourth rank in the web manga category for two consecutive years at the Next Manga Awards.

As released by Mangamo, the official synopsis of the story reads:

"Recently dumped, Akane is just about to quit the game she used to play with her boyfriend when she meets Yamada in the same RPG. Yamada in real life turns out to be somewhat of a legend. The only problem is – he is ONLY interested in the game. As Akane’s feelings grow, will Yamada’s focus stay on the game?"

My Love Story With Yamada-kun at Lv999 is a slow-burn romance comedy series that revolves around Akane Kinoshita, a college student who has recently been rejected by her lover. In a fit of rage, she logs into a Role Playing Game (RPG), where she meets Yamada Akito, a guild member whose avatar is an afro wizard wearing a noh mask.

Yamada is introduced as a disinterested gamer boy in the series. However, his demeanor soon piques Akane's attention, and her interest continues to grow in him as she recovers from her breakup. As such, the most interesting development of this anime would be to see how love blooms between two polar opposite characters.
