Everyone Loves Me (Except the One That Matters)

Riku Kisaragi has everything going for him—good looks, a popular gaming career, and a social life that makes him the center of attention wherever he goes. He’s the guy who effortlessly wins hearts, whether it’s online or in person. The girls adore him, his friends are jealous, and his confidence is through the roof.



But there's just one problem.



Aiko Tanaka.



Aiko is smart, independent, and completely unimpressed by Riku's charm. She’s the one girl who doesn’t fall for his good looks or smooth talk. In fact, she barely acknowledges his existence beyond the occasional “Hey” or “What’s up?”



Riku, used to being the object of attention, can’t shake the feeling that Aiko might be the one person he actually wants to get to know. So, in a bold move, he decides to try winning her over the only way he knows how—through gaming.



As a top-tier gamer, Riku invites Aiko to join him in his favorite competitive games. But there’s a twist: Aiko is better than him. In fact, she’s so good that she dominates him at every turn, leaving him frustrated and wondering how he can ever impress her.



While Riku struggles with misunderstandings, awkward encounters, and his growing crush on the one girl who doesn’t seem to care, he starts to realize that maybe impressing Aiko isn’t about flaunting his skills or his looks—it’s about being genuine.



In a world where everyone else seems to want him, can Riku finally figure out how to win Aiko’s heart without losing himself in the process?
