An anime based on the series is set for release next month on Netflix.
Obsessed with video games, living on a diet that would make a nutritionist blanch, only caring for a pet kitty cat — the protagonist has no friends and by default, no romantic life. School is the character's only escape from the voluntary prison of his bedroom, an eight-hour daily obstacle to raiding dungeons and salivating over anime waifus.
It's wish fulfillment to the nth degree — a way for the viewer who may relate or be in a similar situation to insert himself into the show, choose the character he most likes, and live vicariously through his anime equivalent. Contrary to how most people in the situation would respond, Anzu doesn't want this at all. Taking her games and especially her cat means war. And even her parents have been shipped off to America on a surprise job transfer, leaving her entirely alone in her home, a tired romance trope that's perfect fodder for private trysts and doe-eyed antics.
Let's talk art now, and I found this manga to look a little flat and boring. Character designs don't stand-out and backgrounds and action is all pretty bland. Shojo manga tend to overexaggerate the hotness or cuteness of a scene with sparkles and huge eyes and a kind of brightness that can be cloying for a reader such as myself. That particular style isn't on display here. Instead we get full color pages, a rarity in manga.
