Episode 9 of #HighScoreGirl (I guess the official English spelling is #HiScoreGirl, but I don't like that as much) made me tear up again. It's so cute!

However, I'm kind of annoyed a little at the apparent wish-fulfillment (Mary Sue?) of this story. Two girls fawning over a complete loser guy just because he's really good at videogames? I mean, c'mon.

Have a Hark A Vagrant comic to explain:

(CW: sexualised but ridiculous doodles of female characters)

Akira Ono is so badass and so troubled and I still love how she expresses herself. She's the most interesting character of the show and still seems like the obvious real protagonist.
