Ace gamer Fumiya Tomozaki has given up on the “garbage game” of life, until a classmate offers to teach him the rules of this ultimate god-tier game.

Hinami tasks Tomozaki with starting and joining conversations; after his first few attempts fall flat, he comes away with some astute observations.

Tomozaki begins tutoring Izumi in his favorite game, comes clean to Kikuchi, and gets roped into playing against the vengeful Nakamura after school.

Tomozaki makes a new friend, then goes on a shopping trip for Nakamura’s birthday—of all things. Naturally, Hinami turns it into a teaching moment.

The student council election is approaching, and Tomozaki joins Mimimi’s campaign. Turns out they both have their reasons for wanting to beat Hinami.

A talk with Kikuchi helps Tomozaki realize what he really wants, and a confrontation with Hinami sets the course for the future of their relationship.

After stopping for lunch at the café where Kikuchi works, the gang chats about love and dating while she tries to listen in--and stay out of sight.

Aoi, Mimimi, and Tama reminisce about the early days of their friendship and a fireworks show that provided the inspiration for Tama's nickname.
