Hi Score Girl

The year is 1991, and sixth grader Yaguchi Haruo lives only for video games. He is not popular at school, and he is not handsome, funny, nice, or even friendly. The only thing he has going for him is that he is good at video games. One day at the local arcade, he plays Oono Akira, a classmate who is popular, smart, pretty, and a rich girl, and she absolutely destroys him at Street Fighter II. Not only does he lose to her 30 times in a row, he cannot beat her at any game. Haruo cannot seem to shake Akira off as she follows him from arcade to arcade every day after school and beats him every time. As weird as it sounds, the odd couple begins a strange bond and friendship.
