My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999 is headed to the big screen. The manga by Mashiro, which launched in 2018, is getting a live-action film adaptation that’s set to hit Japanese theaters on March 28, 2025.
The film will star Ryuto Sakuma as Akito Yamada and Mizuki Yamashita as Akane Kinoshita. It’s directed by Yuka Yasukawa (The Nighthawk’s First Love) and written by Anna Kawahara (Dragons of Wonderhatch).
My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999 has previously been adapted into an anime series that aired in 2023.
Here’s how Inklore describes the first volume of the manga:
College student Akane has just been dumped by her boyfriend. Heartbroken, she decides to quit the online RPG they used to play together—but instead of deleting her account, she logs in and battles low-level enemies to relieve her stress and hurt feelings. There she meets Yamada, an elite pro gamer so reclusive that Akane can’t decide if he’s awkward or alluring.
When Akane encounters her ex at a gaming convention, she makes the snap decision to pretend Yamada is her boyfriend, and soon the two of them are spending time together both in the game and in real life. The problem is, Yamada is only interested in the game. As Akane’s feelings grow, will Yamada’s focus shift?
