Summary: Super quiet Aharen Reina isn't great with personal space—she's either inches from your face or too far to hear, leaving people totally baffled. But when Raido, the friendly guy seated next to her, helps retrieve a dropped eraser, Aharen suddenly wants to get closer to him. From that moment on, she's constantly by his side. And surprisingly...he's cool with it.
This offbeat, sweet-natured rom-com proves that friendship—and maybe even something more—can bloom from the most awkward encounters.

Summary: Schwarz is a pro at first-person shooter games and spends his time playing VRMMOFPS, a game filled with a plethora of guns and enemies. But during one game, a single misstep causes Schwarz to fall between the map and instead of losing a life, he's transported to a new world! While he's able to access all the guns from his original game, he quickly realizes that the world around him is 100% real and not a game. Can a FPS expert survive in the land of magic and fantasy?
