Goodreads Synopsis:
A tall, quiet gamer boy
and a geeky girl whose life revolves around yaoi manga are old friends,
but when they start working in the same office, they decide to date.
It's a relationship of convenience at first, but could it become
something more? This manga comedy is now a hit streaming anime!
Extra-long book includes 2 Japanese volumes!
Narumi and Hirotaka are, by all appearances, a power couple. They're young, good-looking professionals. But they have secrets from everyone but each other: They're serious geeks! Narumi is a fujoshi, and Hirotaka's a hardcore gamer. Their sweet, awkward love story started life as a webcomic before becoming a full-blown manga series by popular demand, and is about to become a major anime series!

Review:
It feels like it came on very suddenly, but I am now obsessed. I love
Naoya, so much. He's my favorite.
This series seems like it should be more episodic, more of a 4-koma
style, and yet it has more ongoing plot than that. It's also just so
good, and keeps my attention all the way through.
There's lots of fun geekiness in this volume—including a convention
and cosplay—as well as lots of gaming and arguments and other fun.
There's also some couple stuff—they go to a hot spring in the
second half.
But back to Naoya. After finding out that Ko is a female, he freaks
out a bit, and then feels awful because of how it upset Ko. It's all
super adorable. And then they end up on a double date with Narumi and
Hirotaka, which is adorable, and also really good for them. They're
all very geeky, and it's super cute. Even though Naoya doesn't quite
understand just how much of an otaku any of these people are.
He's literally so cute it hurts me. I love him so much it doesn't
make sense.
I need more of this so badly, I'm probably going to end up watching
the anime while I wait.
