Life operates as a fundamentally broken video game. That's the verdict from Tomozaki, Japan's premier gamer who has dissected and mastered countless titles. Life's rules are neither simple nor fair—they're irrational and ruthlessly stacked against those born into disadvantage. The strong dominate. The weak merely survive. It's unwinnable for low-tier characters. This truth changes when Hinami Aoi appears. The school's idealized heroine and fellow gaming master directly challenges Tomozaki's worldview. She claims Life isn't broken—it's perfect. She even offers to teach him the rules of existence itself. Normally, such a proposal would be instantly rejected. Yet Hinami Aoi exists outside conventional categories and normal expectations. She defies logic, making her impossible to dismiss or ignore. From the 10th Shogakukan Light Novel Award for Excellence winner: a psychological romance blending school life, comedy, and drama. When an elite gamer meets the girl who's already mastered the game of life, an unexpected education begins.
