Akito Yamada

Akito Yamada has never been interested in romance. Cold, calm, and absurdly difficult to read, Yamada prefers spending his time gaming rather than getting emotionally involved with someone. He doesn't flirt, he doesn't chase after people, and he definitely doesn't fall for pretty faces. Until she appears. The new member of the gaming club enters his life with a single objective: to make the expressionless Yamada fall in love with her. Yamada knows this from the very start. He knows that she is provoking him on purpose. That she's trying to catch his attention. That each smile seems like a carefully planned strategy. That’s why he decides on something simple: Not to let himself get involved. But the more he tries to remain indifferent, the more he starts noticing dangerous things: the way she invades his thoughts during matches, how he ends up looking her way without meaning to, and how, for the first time in a long while, someone manages to break the perfect tranquility in which he has always lived. Because making Yamada fall in love might have seemed impossible... until someone turned the game into something personal.
