And you thought there is never a girl online?

Hideki Nishimura—known online as “Rusian”—finally works up the nerve to confess to a girl in his favorite MMO, only to be bluntly turned down and told the “girl” is actually an older man. Humiliated and disillusioned, he swears off believing in romance with anyone he meets through a game.

Some time later, Rusian belongs to a small guild with three other players, including Ako, a female-avatar user who openly adores him and insists they should get married. Suspicious that she could be another catfish, he goes along with it anyway, deciding it doesn’t matter as long as she’s cute in-game. When the guild agrees to meet in person, Rusian learns the truth: Ako—and the rest of the group—are real girls, and they’re also his classmates.
