The first episode will launch on June 11 and the second episode will launch on July 2.

Yen Press is publishes the series in English, and it describes the story as:
Tomozaki is one of the best gamers in Japan, and in his opinion, the game of real life is one of the worst. No clear-cut rules for success, horribly balanced, and nothing makes sense. But then he meets a gamer who's just as good as him, and she offers to teach him a few exploits…
