Description:
What started as a romantic getaway with Hitomi now seems to be turning into Sato's vacation of a lifetime... and not in a good way! Fortunately, his uncharacteristic enthusiasm may be his ticket to convincing his partners in depression that life is worth living after all. But when Misaki comes to the island to admit her true feelings to him, will it be enough to save him, or literally push him over the edge?

With his game demo a bust and his parents cutting his allowance in half, Sato is forced to find a part-time job. Sato discovers that he can make money by selling items from online video games for real-life money. Before he can turn a profit however, he must overcome his social anxiety and make "friends" with the other inhabitants of this exciting new world. How far is he willing to let himself go? Can Misaki save him from the brink of self-destruction?

Contains episodes 13-24.
