Yamada-kun to Lv999 no Koi wo Suru (My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999)

Sorry, Akane.

Hmm?

I... met a girl that I like.

Well...

I did think that he'd been acting cold lately.

What?

You lost your boyfriend to a girl from an online game?

That's so funny! What's up with that?

Momo, you don't have to shout.

So this game...

It's the computer game you guys play together, right?

That's the one.

Wow, who knew that could happen in a game?

Akane?

You should play this game with me!

Oh, really? What is this?

It's an online game that just came out!

I admit that I thought he was something of a gamer,

but I never dreamed that he'd cheat on me with a girl in the game.

And just look at the last message he sent me.

Hmm?

Jeez, that's harsh.

What are you supposed to say to that?

But, hey, breaking up was the right move!

I know you’re still hurting right now, Akane.

I've got classes this afternoon, so I'm out of here.

Don't sit around dejected forever, okay?

Make sure you come to class!

Staying cooped up is only going to make it worse!

It's not like I'm going to die because I got dumped.

Life's going to go on.

And I can't cut too many classes, either.

I need to start working soon, too.

I wonder if he retrieved that equipment yet?

I was never into games before...

but if it meant that we could have fun together,

that was good enough for me.

Hey, he's already unfriended me.

Well, that was fast.

I mean...

I wish I hadn't bought all these items if we were going to break up.

I bought 3,000 yen worth of in-game clothes!

All that's left is this character that I've leveled up for nothing.

Strike! Strike! Strike! Strike! Strike! All that's left is this character that I've leveled up for nothing.

Strike! Strike! Strike! Strike! Strike!

Power...

Strike!

Um...

Hmm?

Huh?

Who's this Noh mask Afro guy again?

He seems kind of familiar.

Oh.

It's my guild-mate.

Yamada.

Good morning, Yamada.

Yeah, that's him, all right.

I thought he was kind of aloof and unsociable.

I mean, who takes two whole minutes to write "hello" and "yes"?

Not to mention, he looks like a hardcore game addict. To answer him...

No, I'm not.

I was hunting because my boyfriend just dumped me and I was annoyed!

And can you believe it?

Apparently, it's thanks to this game that I got cheated on in the first place!

How awful is that?

Oh...

is that right?

So you have zero interest in chatting with me!

Not on your life!

I was here first, so that means that you should leave this hunting ground to me!

I was told that that's hunting ground etiquette!

I'm sure this won't interest you,

but I'm heartbroken after a breakup.

I'm going to use this hunting ground as an outlet for my stress!

Please try for the Prophet's Stone in some other channel!

Because no way am I ever giving up this spot!

Oh, no.

I was so annoyed that I lashed out at this Afro stranger.

Well, yes.

You're right.

I hate you, Yamada!

I'm so going to log out after you leave!

This is why I can't stand gamer guys!

Huh?

An event?

With avatars and various gifts for attendees.

Hey...

it's nearby.

Akane...

let's stay together forever!

Okay!

Sorry.

I met someone else that I like in that game.

And she says that she likes me, too.

I'm really sorry.

You're already going out with that girl, aren't you?

Will they be going to this event together, too?

Damn it.

Am I just going to go down as the one who got dumped?

- Akane! - Huh?

So you're finally showing up for class?

Are you over him now?

Momo!

Hey, Momo,

come shopping with me today for clothes and shoes!

Huh?

Going somewhere?

Yeah. I'm attending an event.

Oh?

Where I bet you-know-who will be showing up as well.

He can wallow in regret when he sees how gorgeous I've become.

Wow! You're nowhere near over him!

This wouldn't be an event for that game, would it?

Of course it's an event for that game!

More likely than not, he'll be there.

So sad.

Whatever you say!

Wow.

Just watch! I'm going to make him regret

ditching me for a gamer girl!

He'll be kicking himself for dumping me.

Just watch! I'm going to make him regret it!

We thank you for attending

the Forest of Savior Autumn Festival today!

The PIN code you received at the gate will expire at the end of December

The place is actually hopping. so please keep that in mind!

The place is actually hopping.

There are way more people than I thought there'd be.

Wait.

Hold up, am I headed straight for bankruptcy this month?

Still, everyone here is playing the same game, right?

I mean, there are tons of guys here.

It's all so fascinating.

I wonder what kind of characters they play?

Takuma!

Taku...

ma?

Ta—

Let's move up to the front.

Sure.

W-Wait!

What the...

Ow.

A girl just fell down.

How stupid is that?

I want to disappear.

I don't know why...

but I think I'm about to cry.

Huh?

Are you all right?

O-Oh.

Whoa, he's super hot!

Yes! I'm totally fine!

Oh, did I bump into you, by any chance?

Uh, yes. Well—

I'm so sorry! I kind of spaced out for a second.

I mean, I was deep in thought.

I'm going through a hard time, and...

I wasn't really paying attention.

Oh...

is that right?

Sorry!

It doesn’t matter, right?

Right.

I'm not interested.

Huh?

That same line...

I heard it recently somewhere.

Yamada?

Afro Yamada?

Who are you?

Who are you?

Um...

You see...

Huh?

Are his reactions slow?

No, but I'm sure I got a sense of Afro déjà vu.

Am I just imagining things?

It can't be a coincidence, right?

Wait, he's looking at me with such disbelief in his eyes.

Did I get the wrong guy?

- I'm sorry! - What?

Hmm?

Takuma?

And his new girlfriend?

What are you doing here?

Takuma! Hey, what a coincidence!
