Plot

Fumiya Tomozaki is a high school student who is on top of the leaderboards of the popular online game Attack Families under the in-game handle "nanashi". A social outcast, he regards Attack Families as a "godly game" that has perfect balance where equal amounts of effort is rewarded with equal amounts of success. In contrast, he considers real life to be a "trash game". One day following a match against the number two player "NO NAME", they agree to meet in person. When they do so, Tomozaki is surprised to find out NO NAME is actually a classmate of his named Aoi Hinami. Taken aback that Tomozaki is nanashi, Hinami decides to help him overcome his issues.

Characters

Fumiya Tomozaki (友崎 文也, Tomozaki Fumiya)
Voiced by: Yoshitsugu Matsuoka[2] (commercial), Gen Satō[3] (anime) (Japanese); Adam Gibbs[4] (English)
Tomozaki is a high school student who has been living as a social outcast at school. Due to his success in Attack Families, he often compares both his real life and gaming life. His perspectives begins to change as it is revealed to him that his perfect classmate Aoi Hinami, who all along has been trailing behind him at second place on Attack Families' leaderboards, regards real life as a winnable game and offers to be his walkthrough. He has a younger sister.
Aoi Hinami (日南 葵, Hinami Aoi)
Voiced by: Haruka Tomatsu[2] (commercial), Hisako Kanemoto[3] (anime) (Japanese); Faye Mata[4] (English)
Hinami is Tomozaki's classmate who has been regarded as a perfect existence. She essentially excels at everything she does, whether socially, academically or in sports by leading her own class clique, topping the school in grades and excelling at track and field competitions, all while maintaining a likable personality. Behind the scenes, she puts in a terrifying amount of hard work, and is a strong believer of concrete, dedicated effort in order to succeed at everything. Hinami is also an avid fan of Attack Families, where she goes by "NO NAME", and hugely respects "nanashi" who she could not surpass despite her efforts in analyzing his playstyle and perfecting her defense techniques. She later becomes the student council president of their school.
Minami Nanami (七海 みなみ, Nanami Minami)
Voiced by: Ikumi Hasegawa[3] (Japanese); Christina Kelly[4] (English)
Nicknamed "Mimimi" by her friends and "Minmi" by Tama, she is an energetic, mischievous and popular classmate of Tomozaki who is in the track and field club with Hinami. While maintaining a cheerful demeanor, she has insecurities about herself and her personality that gives in easily to not ruin the mood. Mimimi has been persistent in pestering the lonely Tama into being her friend, and thus eventually established a close friendship with her. Despite her goofy appearance, she also excels at both studies and sports, yet is unable to dethrone Hinami, who perpetually holds first place. She ran against Hinami in the student council election but lost.
Fūka Kikuchi (菊池 風香, Kikuchi Fūka)
Voiced by: Ai Kayano[3] (Japanese); Natalie Hoover[5] (English)
Fūka is a reserved and book-loving classmate of Tomozaki who often spends time at the library. She initially took interest in Tomozaki under the misunderstanding that they both share an interest in the same author, whereas Tomozaki only used those books as a cover while doing strategic reviews on Attack Families in the library. Tomozaki comes forward and admits the misunderstanding, and despite that still resolves to try to read and understand the books Fūka loves, as they develop a friendship on it. Hinami initially identifies Fūka as the best prospect for Tomozaki to capture as a girlfriend, and has created multiple situations in order for Tomozaki to confess to clear his goal. She and Tomozaki end up dating.
Hanabi Natsubayashi (夏林 花火, Natsubayashi Hanabi)
Voiced by: Ryōko Maekawa[3] (Japanese); Amber Connor[5] (English)
Nicknamed "Tama" by her friends, she is a blunt and unsociable classmate of Tomozaki. Tama is especially close to Mimimi as Mimimi was the first to try and break through her barriers and befriend her, and they hold each other dear. Her blunt nature often leaves her disliked and, once, got her into trouble as she openly condemned Erika's actions of harassment and bullying, thus making her the target of bullying herself. As she suffers from bullying, Tomozaki, Mizusawa, Takei and Fūka, among others, decided to step in to help her develop social skills.
Yuzu Izumi (泉 優鈴, Izumi Yuzu)
Voiced by: Nene Hieda[3] (Japanese); Kate Bristol[5] (English)
Izumi is a social and empathetic classmate of Tomozaki who is a part of Erika's clique. As someone who dislikes conflict, she is often unwilling to stand up to Erika's unreasonable actions. Izumi was Tomozaki's first target to befriend to grow his interpersonal skills as she sits beside him in class. Izumi is in love with Nakamura, and has enlisted Tomozaki's help to teach her how to play Attack Families in order to become Nakamura's practice partner.
Takahiro Mizusawa (水沢 孝弘, Mizusawa Takahiro)
Voiced by: Nobunaga Shimazaki[3] (Japanese); Stephen Fu[4] (English)
Mizusawa is a popular, gregarious and good-looking classmate of Tomozaki who is a part of Nakamura's clique, as is often considered as the smartest and most level-headed member of the group. He often attracts the attention of girls and is an extremely smooth talker, as he is Tomozaki's role model on the way he speaks.
Shūji Nakamura (中村 修二, Nakamura Shūji)
Voiced by: Nobuhiko Okamoto[3] (Japanese); Chris Hackney[4] (English)
Nakamura is a domineering classmate of Tomozaki, who is the de facto leader of his own clique. He is overly competitive and petty when he loses, as shown when he loses to Tomozaki on Attack Families, dismissing his loss as a stroke of bad luck while practicing hard in order to win in a revenge match. He eventually accepts Tomozaki as part of his clique after acknowledging his strengths.
Takei (竹井)
Voiced by: Shuntarō Mizuno[3] (Japanese); Matt Shipman[4] (English)
Takei is a cheerful and airheaded classmate of Tomozaki, who is often the mood maker of Nakamura's clique. Considered as the densest member of the clique, he is often excluded from strategic meetings such as when they were planning a camping trip to get Nakamura and Izumi together. He loves to take the center of attention as he often volunteers to take class positions, and often entertains others with his spontaneous acts.
Erika Konno (紺野 エリカ, Kon'no Erika)
Voiced by: Sayaka KanekoEp. 2 credits (Japanese); AmaLee[5] (English)
Erika is a classmate of Tomozaki's who is the queen bee of the class. Once someone gets on her bad side, she will start to bully them.
Tsugumi Narita (成田 つぐみ, Narita Tsugumi)
Voiced by: Akane Fujita[6] (Japanese); Sarah Wiedenheft[5] (English)
Narita is a coworker of Tomozaki and Mizusawa's who has a lazy personality.
