Hardcore otaku Hideki Nishimura enjoys playing a net game with other members of his online guild, and finally agrees to marry one within the game; when he finally meets his wife in real life, she is not what he expects.

Having met his other in-game guild members in real life, Hideki begins to picture them in their characters' places; Ako's behaviour at school the next day makes it clear that she has trouble separating the game from reality.

During their first club meeting, Akane is delighted by her faster machine; Ako gets a lesson in dressing for the occasion; Kyoh is prevented from using her premium equipment.

When its members admit that sometimes the line between the game and reality becomes blurred for them, Saito considers the possibility of dissolving the club; the others try to help Ako deal with unwanted attention from her classmates.

Ako asks to play a different game during the club meeting, and Kyoh suggests a first-person shooter; Ako feels threatened when she thinks Nanako is interested in Hideki, and withdraws from both school and her friends.

Hideki is nervous about revealing his true feelings for Ako before summer vacation; when the first term's final exams draw near, everyone rallies behind Ako in order to make sure that she passes.
