My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999 Volume 1

Girl meets boy the old-fashioned way-in an online game. The first volume of the award-winning manga that inspired the anime My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999.

When college student Akane is dumped by her boyfriend, she decides to quit the online RPG they used to play together. But instead of deleting her account, she logs in and battles low-level enemies to relieve her stress and hurt feelings. There, she bumps into Yamada, a player so blunt he's practically rude.

As it turns out, Yamada is something of a pro-gaming legend, and when Akane meets him again in real life, he's actually sensitive and kind-if oblivious. Soon, the two of them are spending more time together in-game and in real life. The problem is, Yamada is only interested in the game. As Akane's feelings grow, will Yamada's focus stay on the game?

Volume 1 includes Chapters 1-9.
