Hi Score Girl is a manga made by a gamer for gamers. If you were not a gamer you wouldn’t understand many of the plots and jokes. I am a gamer, love video games, and grew up in the same period depicted in this manga. Thus, I loved this manga. However, video game reference is not the only thing this manga offers. It is a quite good love story centered around video games. More amazingly the female protagonist does not talk at all during the entire 10-volume manga. And she is not mute. All her feeling are displayed through her facial expression and action. Let’sbe honest, the character art in this manga is not very good. But I was able to forgive and forget the flaw and completely enjoy it.
