Synopsis

Kaoru Terazaki is a young boy who uses a female character in an online game. He usually plays with a virtual friend who goes by the username Nanami and uses a male avatar. Kaoru has been lying about his identity, and the two will soon meet in real life for the first time. When the day finally arrives, they realize that their expectations are quite different from reality.

Contrary to Kaoru's expectations, Nanami turns out to be a girl. With their genders revealed, they are both in shock—especially Nanami. She has already told her enthusiastic mother and overprotective father about her female friend coming to their house. Consequently, Nanami comes up with an idea to mask Kaoru's true gender: crossdressing! Even though their friendship started with lies, this odd meetup marks the beginning of their unusual bond.

Well, what can I say? Gamers of all kind should understand that this work of art is nothing short of a masterpiece. The author spins a tale of two gamers leaving their houses and discovering each other in real life - a little extreme, but believable nonetheless. It is quite unfortunate that I deducted the one point that I did, but I was forced to because whenever Nanami's dad is on the page I simply cannot look away, causing me to lose track of what I was reading.

All jokes aside this is pretty entertaining and wholesome, the art is nice and it's in color ...

Imaging meeting up with an online friend only to find out they are not who you think they are.

STORY:
It started out as a simple meet-up which caused some mental scar in both Nanami and Kaoru. And then the two started to be comfortable with each other. I like how this feels so real because you really can't be sure who someone else is until you've seen them.

ART:
They look cute...

*RAPID REVIEW*

It's a low 5/10.

As a huge gaming fan who hasn't played video games for 3 years as of now, I was quite disappointed with this manga. It just turns out to be a very standard and quite boring romcom. The manga does do some unique things, like dealing with the Hikikomori lifestyle and how it effects the people around them. Those parts are the best part of the manga.

But for the most part, it's a normal romcom with a lot of crossdressing and barely any actual gaming. I like Traps, but I wanted gaming. There hasn't been a manga or anime yet that ...
