The plot of the My Love Story With Yamada-kun at Lv999

The official synopsis of the plot, as given by Mangamo, the digital manga circulator of Loving Yamada at Lv999! 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?"

The plot is based on Mashiro's widely popular manga, Loving Yamada at Lv999, which has accomplished several awards throughout the years. The manga won the grand prize at the 2022 Tsutaya Comic Awards, and secured the ninth and fourth rank in the web manga category at the Next Manga Awards for two years in a row.


What to expect

My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999 is an upcoming slow-burn romance comedy series. It revolves around Akane Kinoshita, a young college student who has been rejected by her boyfriend.

After the heartbreaking experience, she decided to log into a Role Playing Game (RPG) to release her frustration and rage. In the game, while brainlessly killing creatures, she meets Yamada Akito, a guild member whose avatar is an afro wizard wearing a noh mask.

Yamada is the other main character. His character poles opposite that of Akane. He is a completely distant and uninterested gamer boy whose brain resides far away from even the concept of love and romance. Even so, his demeanor immediately drew Akane's attention.

Akane's interest continues to grow in him as she moves on from her breakup. She starts a new chapter in her life that is full of skipping heartbeats, butterflies in the stomach, and also awkwardly funny encounters.

With that, the anime will feature one of the most iconic tropes of romance anime, the extrovert X introvert love story. As the story progresses, it would be fascinating to witness how love blooms between two polar opposite characters.


As mentioned earlier, the anime will debut in Japan on April 1, 2023, at 12:30 am JST.
