anime where popular girl falls for unpopular guy

Our MC Keita Amano is a rather dorky high school student who spends most of his time playing video games. He’s not particularly smart, but he is very passionate about gaming. One day he has a random encounter with the most popular girl in school, Karen Tendou and she suddenly invites him to join the gaming club.

To her shock, he refuses, saying he only plays games for fun, not for competitive reasons. Meanwhile, Amano strikes up a friendship with another girl Hoshinomori Chiaki but it quickly ends sourly while Amano’s friend Uehara Tasuku tries to resolve things between them.

Uehara is also stressed because his girlfriend has been rather clingy as of late. If you think there are a lot of relationships here already, you really have no idea. Gamers is a hilarious parody of rom-com’s tendency to balloon misunderstandings to absurdly comical levels.

If you’re in for some dumb romantic fun with a surprising amount of progress, Gamers is for you.
