A press release reported that the popular manga written and illustrated by Mashiro“My love story with Yamada-kun in Lv999 (Yamada-kun to Lv999 no Koi wo Suru)", will be suspended indefinitely due to the author's health problems. The publisher will inform when the resumption date of the work is decided.

It should be noted that this manga had already been on hiatus since mid-February of this year, but this suspension was “partially defined” until the author recovered enough to resume work in the short term. Apparently that goal was not achieved, so it now becomes an “indefinite suspension” because the editors have no idea when work might resume.

In turn, Mashiro began publishing the manga through the service Ganma! from the publisher Kadokawa in March 2019, where it is still being serialized. The work inspired a thirteen-episode anime adaptation produced by the studios hospice and released in the period of Spring 2023 (April-June)getting excellent reviews on MyAnimeList.

After her boyfriend breaks up with her for another girl, college student Akane Kinoshita struggles with heartbreak and the memories he left behind. Loading up Forest of Savior, the MMO they used to play together, she hatches a plan to get revenge on her ex-boyfriend through an in-game event. Along the way, she meets someone unexpected: Akito Yamada, a video game legend who turns out to be her guildmate.

Desperate for support, Akane convinces the antisocial Yamada to help her with her plan and lend her a shoulder to cry on.

As the two gain more experience with each other, both in and out of the game, their shy knowledge may grow in ways neither of them expects.
