Asahi Hikari, the most popular girl at school, is a radiant beauty with a light attribute and a sunny disposition. Not only is she a talented tennis player, but she also excels as a model. It’s as if she’s been blessed with every gift life has to offer. On the other hand, her classmate Kageyama Reiya is a dark-attribute gaming otaku who prefers to stay in the shadows. These two polar opposites should never cross paths, but after discovering their shared love for games on a chance bus ride, Hikari starts visiting Reiya's room every weekend. They spend time playing games side by side, and as they do, the distance between their hearts begins to close. “See you tomorrow at our usual time!” she says with a smile. This is the story of how a light-attribute girl and a dark-attribute boy find themselves in a rainbow-colored love. (Source: GA Bunko, translated)
