## Volume Chronology

This is the **3rd 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

Akane, wearing a white blouse, a pale violet coat, and a flower on her left ear, is lying down and closing her eyes on the vibrant cover, while Yamada is staring at her and attempting to catch Akane's flower adornment on her left ear. A faded representation of the Forest Of Savior's gaming screen is featured on the cover's background, which has a soft, fading light violet hue.

On the right side, close to the center of the cover, the series title is written in the series' signature pink font and accompanied by a white match in pixel font style.

## Author's Note

### Extra Message

**Afterword**

Thank you for picking up Volume 3. I feel like it's gradually becoming more like a romance manga, but how did you like it?

This time, Takezo Kamoda's avatar made its first appearance. I imagined it with fluffy cotton-like fur. I still remember the editor's reaction when they first saw the name, saying something like "Huh...seriously?" due to its extremely small size (laughs). By the way, it can transform into a combat form during battles, but it doesn't seem like there will be a chance to showcase it for now. That's a shame.

Well then, I hope to see you again in the next volume.
