My Lovesick Life as a '90s Otaku

古オタクの恋わずらい

Megumi, a divorced mother with a teenage daughter, looks back on her youth during the mid-1990s, a time when otaku culture was far from mainstream. As a passionate fan of anime and manga, she transfers to a new high school and resolves to hide her hobbies to fit in and start fresh.

Her plan is complicated when she catches the attention of Masamune, the popular ace of the basketball team, whose kind demeanor and striking resemblance to her favorite fictional character feel like fate. However, Megumi's budding hope for a connection is shattered when she discovers Masamune holds a deep-seated hatred for otaku, forcing her to choose between her true self and the chance at a first love.
