----------------------------------------
Centering around Nao-chan. Then he saw a customer playing game. He/she ran away, though, when he/she saw him.

Then he realized that he/she is in the same university. His friend knows him/her. He/she reminds him of his brother.

He made friends with him/her.

Since he started playing game, he's level-upping with others (Right after hearing Kou-kun's voice, it's hard to believe the narrator's voice is same). Someone helped them. He knows it's Kou-kun.

CM for this week: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dq7bUl4qQ20

Main pair is late, and main guy forgot his glasses. He's popular among girls.

Senpai guy let them take break because of his terrible nearsightness worries her. She's jealous about him always going too near but not her (he knows her face better).

Nao-chan showing how terrible his gameplay is and Kou-kun trying to help out while worrying about lot of things.

Main guy was curious about his obsess with gameplay recently and used his data. That surprised Kou-kun.

Thought so, one of his friend is voiced by Nobu.

Pretty funny episode, when they get jealous, especially Nifumi, it makes for some pretty funny scenes

Kou episode! FINALLY, KOU EPISODE! She's the most adorable and nice character so far. She's even better than everyone's favorite Hirotaka (who's also nice and cute)! It was so good to see her friendship with Nao animated. We're not going to see much of her, though. Next episode is the last one... how upsetting.
Well, there's no such thing as "too much chibi video game sequences" in this show!

That's quite the interesting character they're introducing so late in this series, shame really would actually love to know a bit more about her as well!

Really lovely progression in general and I do wonder what kind of ending we'll get. Shall we get an open ending for a possible sequel or a semi-closed one?

I personally doubt we'll get a complete closed one with a single more episode to be honest, but let's see what's next anyway!

Oh, I loved this episode! Nao-chan is such a good soul, Kou-kun reminded him of his brother and it was hard to watch her by herself, this friendship is making him like to play games and it might be the first Kou-kun ever had, if he fell in love with her before finding out she isn't a guy would make things even better. lol

I'm also glad that Narumi realized that Hirotaka is a fine man and got a bit jealous, she takes him for granted and it was nice.

Naoya has a new boyfriend (actually girlfriend) named Sakuragi :D Reverse trap!

I'm tired of Narumi x Hirotaka and Kabakura x Koyonagi, they're already couples and obviously, they're end game so there's no reason to ship them anymore. I'm over them even though they're the main characters. Honestly, a lot of their interactions are pretty boring.

I ship Naoya and Kou at this point. I want to see more of these two.

The otakus in this series are already good at gaming and everything but it's so endearing to see Naoya try his best, plus of course KajiKaji voicing him makes everything much better too. Naoya knows nothing about games but is learning and trying his best to improve to become Kou's friend. That is just fucking sweet. The other characters are already good at gaming, etc. and often just spend the series showing off to one another so it becomes repetitive.

I knew Kou-kun was a girl xD A guy wouldn't keep running like that lmao. There goes my BL hopes tho, although I really didn't think she was a he haha :P

That'd be so cute if she was paired up with Nao-chan :D they'd be the opposite of HiroXNaru hehe :} gaming level wise and glasses VS non-wearing xD

Meh, I don't particularly care about Nao, so this was a pretty lackluster episode for me, other than the scenes about Hirotaka's glasses.

Kou needs a makeover. Grow out hair, change wardrobe and put on some makeup.

Hirotaka needs a makeover. Get contacts and some charm already.

I don't have sympathy for the hermit otakus. Cute otakus like female MC and the green haired girl are fine.

Hirotaka is really hot even without glasses. ~❤️

When girls are admiring Hirotaka and keep getting closer to him, Narumi is jealous! She finally realizes that he is a good and handsome man. I squeal when Hirotaka says he knows Nanami even when he does not wear eyeglasses. ~❤️

THAT HIROTAKA X TARŌ SCENE. SO MUCH LOVE FOR BL. ~❤️

NAO X KOU MOMENTS! Kou reminds Nao of his own brother. Kou looks like a guy, but she is actually a girl! Finally, Nao has a soulmate! ~❤️

THE SHIPS HAVE SAILED. ~❤️

Hirotaku has bad eyesight Like me he can't see anything without his spectacles.nifuji and his new friend playing online games together.

Really loved this episode. I really like their chemistry together, despite being total opposites.

For some reason, Kou reminds me of Haruhi (Ouran High School Host Club).

Really wholesome of Naoya to try and befriend Koutarou (cute ship). I can't wait for Narumi to find out since Koutarou looks like a guy fueling Narumi's fujoshi power.

What's the point of adding one more character in the penultimate episode of the season? They should focus on developing the characters that are already in the anime or at least developing Hirotaka's relationship with Narumi.

Just when I thought it was weird for Nao to "pick up" a random dude gaming alone, they go and bamboozle me with him being a girl.

Some shows have a romance story where the MC is pulled out from gaming to the real world by love, this one is doing the reverse with Nao, getting a girl to teach him the love of games

Reason why I would die for kou-kun, design resemble haruhi from ouran, the timid and shut in nature of him, and possible BL relationship in an anime where the FMC is a BL enjoyer. I MEAN COME ON.

kou was cool but did they really have to give her a whole episode especially right at the end?? there were enough useless episodes to bring him in earlier.
