Sato’s mom is about to invade his space. Fearing what she’ll think when she sees his reclusive lifestyle, Sato spins a web of lies in which Kaoru and Misaki find themselves tangled.

With Megumi locked up, her little brother’s forced to fend for himself. When he lands a new job, Megumi starts seeing that she might need to rethink her life.

Sato sees that Megumi has swindled him, and when he confronts her, she somehow manages to trick him and his friends again! When they knock on her door to end the mess once and for all, Sato’s worlds collide!

With Kaoru leaving Tokyo soon to return to his life on the farm, he and Sato have to step it up if the game is to be completed.

Sato is left to his usual ways just in time for Misaki to test his progress on a New Year’s Eve outing. While out on the town, Sato loses Misaki - and finds Hitomi.

Finally reunited on New Year’s Eve, tension grows between Misaki and Sato after he lies about spending time with Hitomi - and the tension grows even more when the lies continue at their next session.

Kaoru gets rejected when he asks a girl out, and Sato’s feeling pained by his changing feelings for Misaki. Maybe showcasing their game at the upcoming con will distract them from their girl troubles.

Sato’s back to his reclusive ways, but just as Misaki and Kaoru decide to intervene, the world of online fantasy comes crashing down - it turns out Mia is actually someone Sato knows!

Sato overhears his mother telling Misaki that she knows the truth behind her son’s lifestyle. But rather than clear the air, all three continue the ruse, allowing for some awkward moments.

Sato’s need for cash drives him to join a MMORPG. His plan: sell virtual goods for real world money. As his time in-game begins to interfere with his day to day life, he meets and forms a party with Mia.

Even though a raging panic attack is practically guaranteed, Sato journeys out into the world to investigate rumors that Kaoru might have a cute girlfriend at school.

After the island, the members of the group are given a trip to a hot springs resort where each will face loved ones eager to prove life is worth living. Can Misaki do the same for Sato?

Kaoru has succeeded in turning Sato into a total otaku, but he hasn’t succeeded in inspiring him to work. A trip to Akihabara might remedy the situation - if they can stay out of the maid cafes.

Sato’s gotten himself wrapped up in a suicide pact! If his friends can’t figure out what’s really happening and make it to the island, Hitomi’s internet group will be logging out for good.

Even as Misaki reaches out to help him, Sato tries to convince her that he’s got his life in order. But after he claims to be working as a video game creator, Sato’s neighbor takes steps to turn his lies into truth.

Sato joins Hitomi’s internet group for a real world trip to a sandy island, but the group’s dark vibes have him thinking that fun in the sun is the last thing on anyone’s mind.
