Hikaru seems to be unfortunately inseparable from her university friend, Kikuta, as she now works with him on his video streaming channel of himself playing games.

Her job includes fending off followers who are seriously in love with him, and it's not because she has any romantic feelings for him. In fact, romance itself has been absent from her life for a while now.

But the very same Hikaru has recently found herself hooked on an art painting video streamer...

Reality/Delusions, Exist/Non-existent, Truth/Lies.

Even while getting her legs caught up in these two overlapping worlds, she eventually reaches her own form of "serious" within herself.

Note: Kodansha's Hatsu Kiss magazine advertised Gachi Koi Monogatari as a new series upon its debut. However, no chapters have been published since the release of chapter 1 on November 25, 2020. Hatsu Kiss ceased publication on June 25, 2021.
