Fan/Girl X Call/Boy 1

In this nerdy and tantalizing romcom manga, a shut-in fangirl orders a call boy, only for him to discover her ulterior motive—her love for a crossdressing character in an erotic game?! This fun and funny love story is perfect for fans of Wotakoi: Love Is Hard for Otaku and Sweat and Soap!

"Because… I wanted to understand how my fav felt…"

Sakurako lives alone—a shut-in, an otaku, and a virgin. So it's out of character to say the least when she calls an escort service and asks a call boy to come to her house! The call boy, Fuji, can tell something's off. The entire room is covered in sheeting, and his client seems anxious. Just as the whole thing is about to blow up in her face, an accident reveals Sakurako's true motive--her obsession with an erotic game and anime, and her desire to understand her favorite character's experiences! Turns out, Fuji's a fan of the same game, and the same character?!

Just like that, they play games all night, and the sex is cancelled (for now). But can a smooth-talking call boy and a fangirl who never leaves home really build a relationship?
