The story follows the daily life of college student Akane Kinoshita. After getting dumped by her boyfriend, she continues the MMORPG Forest of Savior (FoS) they once played together and attended an offline event of the game.

She is helped up by a handsome guy she identifies as Yamada from his cold personality. Takuma is a huge Yamada fan so Akane bribes him with a super rare game item to pretend to be her new boyfriend. Takuma is jealous but is cheered up by Eri, leaving Akane unsatisfied and miserable. Akane and the reluctant Yamada talk over drinks, and she learns he is a famous pro-gamer who gets sponsorships to play games in official competitions. He is also uninterested in dating.

At college she meets a guy from the mixer whose name she can’t remember, and ignores him when she spots Yamada talking to a girl she suspects is Rurihime, making her feel even worse. She decides to avoid FOS for a while, but Rurihime abruptly invites her to a café mixer for the whole guild, including Yamada.

Runa hates Akane’s causal relationship with Yamada and demands to know if she loves him, causing Eita to scold her rudeness. Akane is shocked by Runa's question, and becomes flustered. Meanwhile, Yamada worries Akane is upset with him, exasperating Eita that Yamada doesn’t understand girls at all. Yamada thinks back to a childhood friend he had.

Flashbacks show that Runa was coddled by her parents and Eita, making her selfish, childish and unable to make friends outside the internet. Then she met Akane whom she considers a friend but is also aware Akane is older and has other friends besides her, so their friendship is not one of equals. Despite this, she has warmed up greatly to Akane. While also hanging out with Akane's other friend Momo, Runa becomes bad tempered about sharing Akane. Akane believes she and Yamada have grown closer after he apologizes for an insensitive statement and uses an emoji. Akane’s computer short circuits leaving her unable to play FOS, so Eita and Runa have Yamada visit Akane to repair it. Yamada abruptly thanks Akane for the frozen meals she gave him, making her happy. Runa begins to suspect Eita was right; Akane might be the perfect match for Yamada. At Eita’s suggestion Runa plots a “love comedy ending” by pushing Akane onto Yamada for a “lucky pervert scene”, but this only injures Yamada’s eye. Runa’s plot is somewhat successful when Akane tries to see Yamada’s eye, putting their faces close together. Yamada is so surprised by her proximity he quickly leaves, claiming he forgot his computer repair tools.

Takuma wonders if she is OK but decides her seeing him would upset her, so he leaves. Akane overhears everything but is OK with it. She realizes her hair is down and Yamada admits he did it but can’t explain why, confusing her. Akane gets a job at a convenience store near college.

A nurse diagnoses Runa as just hungry so Akane and Yamada visit the food stalls for her, though being with Yamada draws jealous questions from the girls they pass, delaying them. Eita jokes since the rumors have started they might as well start dating, embarrassing Akane who runs away. Eita starts to follow her but Yamada beats him to it and stops her by using her first name for the first time. He apologizes for the bad joke. Akane asks him what he would've done if she'd agreed to date him, but plays it off as the same joke about them dating.

After some initial awkwardness Tsubaki goes on a directionless rant of everything she likes about Yamada, making him increasingly uncomfortable. Having finally said it, Tsubaki feels enormous relief but is not surprised when he rejects her, finally admitting for the first time that he likes Akane. Tsubaki returns home, managing to suppress her tears until Yamada has left. Akane goes to dinner with Eita, Runa and Takezo, who apparently is secretly a company president in real life. Yamada arrives late and is put in charge of Akane, cheerfully drunk after not realising how strong the alcohol was. He decides to skip eating and take her safely home, holding her hand the whole journey. At her apartment she drunkenly asks if he likes her. He admits he does then promises to return to admit it the next day too, in case she has hangover amnesia. She asks if she can phone in the morning to hear him say it and they end up hugging goodnight. The next day Akane struggles with the notion she has a boyfriend younger than herself and worries about being a distraction or a burden.
