    Skill, talent, and effort

    Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki is a gamer who is ranked 1 in the popular fighting game TackFam. He defeats his classmate Nakumura, who is arrogant and blames the game, characters, and matchups. Tomozaki proves it's a matter of skill, talent, and effort, even with the worst matchups. He takes pride in his devotion to the game and refuses to accept baseless slander from someone who hasn't put in the work.

    In contrast, Tomozaki's first interaction with Hinami reveals that he is Nakumura in TackFam, blaming others for his personal woes and believing there is a social hierarchy he can't break free from. He believes that some people are born better than others, and this point of view is directed towards TackFam. Tomozaki's hypocrisy is demonstrated when he rebukes the point of view directed towards TackFam, proving that it's not different in reality. The show's main focus is on Tomozaki's dedication to the game and his ability to overcome challenges.

    Awesome anime

    Truly an all round awesome anime. It teach you that how you could change your life by sincere efforts. It kind of gives you a new perspective to every day life. Our brain needs dopamine for motivation when we try to work for achieving something. And if the effort is long term then it gets really difficult because your wins are much far in between. This anime tells you how you could achieve daily wins by improving in your daily life and stay enthusiastic.

    Is it worth watch?

    You can watch it but you have keep your hopes very low. Its storyline first goes fast then gets slow. Its not very interesting. And i don't think it is romcom anime. Its only romance anime. I suggest watch it but don't keep high hopes you won't enjoy it.

    Very Enjoyable!

    In short, for those who have watched 'Saekano: How to raise a boring Girlfriend', This anime could be named as "How to raise a Boring Gamer Boyfriend". But it is enjoyable and funny. In many scenes you can relate with the awkwardness of the main character Tomozaki. The characters are all likeable.

    This anime has everything to be a good anime: decent story, good pace, nice animations and last but no the least 'Kawai Girls'.

    So give it a watch...you'll understand in the first episode if this anime is for you.

    Unique

    I like the story because I am a man like that. It's really hard to talk to the opposite sex, especially when I'm at school. I'm really awkward with girls and I don't have any girl friends. I learned a lot from this anime to improve my social speaking skills. The character development that I have to exemplify as a man who is awkward even though it seems impossible for me, but the story is really inspiring. The music is good, one of the Japanese music that I like even though I don't understand the meaning hehehe. Overall, I enjoy watching it from start to finish, I rarely get a relaxing anime that doesn't make me bored in the middle of the storyline. So interested in reading the manga.
