Synopsis

Mitsuki Aya, who played fighting games competitively as a child, transferred into Kuromi Girls Academy in order to become a proper lady. Upon meeting Yorue Mio, known throughout school as the White Lily, Aya is blown away by her grace and elegance. To her surprise, however, she later finds Mio playing a fighting game online and coarsely trash-talking her opponents after school. And if that wasn`t perplexing enough, this unladylike version of Mio challenges her to a duel. Note: The first two episodes received an early screening at a special event on 4 July 2026 at Red Bull Gaming Sphere in Tokyo which was additionally streamed on Kadokawa`s YouTube channel. The regular TV broadcast started on 7 July 2026.
