Hi Score Girl Synopsis
The story begins in 1991 during the height of the 2D fighting game boom. Sixth grader Haruo spends most of the day in a game room in the seedy part of town, oblivious to the world around him. However, one day in his usual game room, he meets Akira, his classmate with good grades and money. She may seem out of place in the game room, but she's actually a first-class player. Akira completely beats Haruo in a round of Street Fighter II. Their relationship begins to develop from this improbable encounter.
