My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999 to follow the story of a young college student, Akane Kinoshita
On March 14, 2023, the makers of My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999 dropped yet another trailer video. The clip came with some additional details which summed up all the essential information about the upcoming rom-com.
The anime will tell the story of Akane Kinoshita, a young college student whose lover rejects her. She then plays a role-playing game (RPG) to vent her anger after the heartbreaking experience. But life takes a different turn for her as she meets Yamada Akito, a guild member whose avatar in the game is an afro wizard wearing a noh mask.
Yamada is the polar opposite of Akane. He is a completely detached and indifferent gaming lad who does not pay much heed to the notion of love and passion. Yet, his approach grabbed Akane's attention right away. As she recovers from her separation, Akane's attraction towards him grows.
Theme songs
The brand-new trailer revealed the opening theme song to be Gradation by KANA-BOON, who also composed the song, and Yuho Kitazawa of the Japanese rock band the Peggies. The ending theme song is called Trick Art, which has been performed by Ryujin Kiyoshi.
