Jaku-Chara Tomozaki-kun

Fumiya Tomozaki sits at the top of Japan's rankings in the fighting game Tackfam, yet he considers real life a badly designed game that neither explains its rules nor rewards effort fairly. With no friends and little confidence in social situations, he prefers the one world whose mechanics he understands. His outlook changes when he discovers that one of his strongest Tackfam rivals is Aoi Hinami, a brilliant, popular classmate who seems to excel at everything Fumiya cannot.

Aoi rejects his verdict on life and decides to teach him to approach it like any difficult game: set small goals, practice every day, and build skills deliberately. Fumiya begins changing his appearance, learning conversation, and widening his circle, but people cannot be solved like game characters. Caught between Aoi's methods and what he genuinely wants, he must learn how to improve without turning himself into someone else.
