About Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki
Tomozaki is widely regarded as one of Japan's best gamers, and he treats the game of life as a brutal, unbalanced arena with unclear rules and no guaranteed wins. Social dynamics feel like a rigged match with tedious tutorials and quirks that never quite iron out. Then a classmate who excels at reading people crosses his path and sees beyond his screen facade. She offers to coach him on how real life actually works, not by lectures but by sharing practical tips she has learned through trial and error. As he tries these moves in school and outside, the world starts looking less chaotic and more like a strategy he can manage, while still keeping his edge intact.
