I've really been getting into Hi Score Girl lately.
About
The world of "Hi Score Girl" is set during the peak of the 1990s fighting game boom (specifically starting from 1991), a world where nostalgia and youth intersect. It follows Haruo Yaguchi, a boy who loves games, and Akira Ono, an elite young lady and genius gamer. The main characteristics and world-building elements are as follows: The atmosphere of the 1990s: The fighting game craze starting with "Street Fighter II," arcade cabinets at candy stores, the sounds of the machines, and the dim atmosphere of game centers are realistically recreated. Real games: Many fighting games from SNK, Capcom, and others appear, creating a world where you can experience the gaming scene of that era. A romantic comedy triangle: Haruo's youth, wavering between the silent Akira and the devoted Koharu, is passionately depicted through gaming matches. The ideal of gamers from "that time": An emotional story where the arcade was a sanctuary and gaming was pure youth.
