Anime Spotlight - And you thought there is never a girl online? (Netoge no Yome wa Onna no ko ja Nai to Omotta?)

by Chih-Chieh Chang,
TV Anime on air starting April 7, 2016!

Story

There aren't any girls in online games. There was a period of time in the past when I thought that! Confessing my love to a female character in an online game! > Sorry, I'm a guy in real life! A boy with such a dark past, Hideki (Lucian), then receives a confession of love from a female character in an online game. Is it the return of his dark past? He though, but... "S-Seriously? You're really a girl in real life!?" "Wow! It's Lucian! It's really Lucian!" The partner, Ako (Ako Tamaki) was really a beautiful girl, but... "There you are, Lucian! Good morning, Lucian" "Wait, hold it! Stop it, you're killing me! You're going to kill me from embarrassment.......!" This girl... she can't tell the difference between real life and online games!? This isn't good! My real life is going to wither away! Hideki gets on the move with his guild-mates to rehabilitate her into somewhat of a normal human, but... A pitiful yet fun real life approximate to online game life begins!
