What Is Sometimes Even Reality Is a Lie About?
The story revolves around Kaoru Terasaki, an MMORPG enthusiast who plays under a female avatar. When he arranges an offline meet-up with his long-time in-game friend Nami, Kaoru prepares to apologize for playing a female character online. To his shock, Nami is actually a high school girl named Nanami Osaka, who plays as a male avatar.
Complications arise when Nanami invites Kaoru to her house. Because her martial-arts-trained father strictly forbids her from having male friends, Kaoru decides to cross-dress as a girl to visit her home. What begins as a temporary disguise evolves into a chaotic, heart-warming romantic comedy about online friendship, identity, and young love.
