‘Hi Score Girl’, a manga series riddled with comedy and unnecessary violence, sees the gamer life of Haruo Yaguchi disrupted by the presence of a gamer… wait for it… GIRL! Defeated in a head to head contest time and time again, we come to learn about Akira Ono, the girl in question, as her stellar level of education and rich family (something made abundantly clear) fails to meet her joys and desires, something she only finds in the gaming landscape. Throughout the episodes I watched, I saw a plethora of stereotypes that played into the story, used as a vehicle to fuel the narrative in much the same way as previous films.
