## Volume Chronology

This is the **2nd Volume** of the manga series written and illustrated by Mashiro, the *My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999*.

## Volume Synopsis

**Can in-game friendship level-up to something more in real life?**

After college student Akane was dumped by her boyfriend, she met Yamada, a handsome high school boy and pro gamer, while playing an online RPG. In-game, he brushed her off, but in the real world, Yamada helped Akane escape an embarrassing encounter with her ex.

When Akane’s guild master invites her to an in-person meet-up with other members of their guild—including Yamada—she eagerly accepts. But things get tense when she meets Runa, a player who didn’t want to include Akane—or any new members—in their guild activities.

Meanwhile, Akane’s feelings for Yamada continue to grow, but she’s conflicted about those emotions. Could Yamada like her too?

## Cover and Volume Illustration

Yamada is seated on the vibrant cover, and Akane is standing behind him, holding him. Akane is wearing a green hoodie, while Yamada is wearing a vivid red one. Ruri-chan and the Forest of Savior characters played by Yamada and Akane can be seen in the background.

With a white match on a pixel font style and the volume number 2 encircled on the cover's left side, slightly in the center, the series title is in its distinctive sky blue font.

## Author's Note

### Extra Message

Thank you very much for picking up volume 2 of My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999!

Oh my. I'm glad we were able to release it safely...(tears) We were told it wouldn't be released if it didn't sell well.ー▷ (Drawing of Mashiro the pomeran crying)

The story in this volume mainly focuses on the protagonist and the new character, Runa-chan, but to tell you the behind-the-scenes story, the plot involving Runa-chan was added hastily, so I was quite worried about how to wrap it up at that time.

I've been thinking that there were things I couldn't fully depict, and it has been a lingering regret for me. That's why I'm glad that I was able to draw a little bit about Runa-chan in the bonus manga this time.

However, Runa-chan is not the only character who was created on the spot. For example, the reason why Eita was born was 'because the character chart looked empty with just Akane and Yamada.

As for Kamota-san, it was *"because the offline meeting felt lonely."* Characters in the story are created in such a relaxed manner.

So at first, there is a huge distance between the characters and me. However, as I draw them, I end up liking them all.

I hope readers feel the same way too. If you enjoy reading it, I would be very happy.
