Bottom Tier Character Tomozaki Vol 9 Light Novel

Winter is here. Tomozaki finds himself at odds with Kikuchi— and once again, only words can close the distance between them. Tomozaki confronts his own actions, and in the process, he gains insight into Kikuchi he never had before. There are some things a bottom-tier character just won’t notice. And then there’s Aoi Hinami, someone so special to both of them... Can Tomozaki clear this difficult trial with his first-ever girlfriend?

Tomozaki is one of the best gamers in Japan, and in his opinion, the game of real life is one of the worst. No clear-cut rules for success, horribly balanced, and nothing makes sense. But then he meets a gamer who's just as good as him, and she offers to teach him a few exploits...

MAKING DECISIONS IS HARD WHEN THERE ARE MULTIPLE ENDINGS. With the school festival looming, Tomozaki finds himself busier than ever, his attention split between helping Kikuchi with her script, developing a comedy show with Mimimi, and wrestling with his feelings about Hinami’s instructions to find a girlfriend by the end of the year. As practice for the play begins, Kikuchi and Tomozaki decide to investigate Hinami’s past in order to help strengthen her connection with her role. In the busiest, most electric season of the school year, what emotions will the four of them have to face when the curtain rises...?

THE BEST RPGS HAVE GREAT SIDE QUESTS, TOO. Tomozaki has been leveling up at a steady pace since he began training with Hinami, but he isn’t the only one wrestling with the game of life. What pushes Hinami forward? How is Izumi faring in her relationship with Nakamura? When did Kikuchi start seeing the world in color? And will Mimimi learn to outrun her insecurities? This series of vignettes, highlighting several major characters, provides a glimpse into the inner lives of Tomozaki’s new social circle!

“IT’S GONNA TAKE MORE THAN THAT TO SAVE ME.” March is here, and that means it’s almost Hinami’s birthday. Izumi plans a surprise party along with a trip to USJ in Osaka. As for the presents, it’s a team competition—whoever makes the birthday girl the happiest wins. Together with Mizusawa and Kikuchi, Tomozaki decides to re-create one of those old-school games she loves so much. Things may have changed between him and Hinami, and he doesn’t want to be the character she controls—but that doesn’t mean he’s ready to give up on her.

LEVELING UP DOESN’T SOLVE EVERY PROBLEM. The school festival is over, and so is winter break. Tomozaki has reached a major milestone, but now there’s a new hurdle in his path: plans for the future. Of course, Hinami’s training is still ongoing, and between an offline meeting with other Atafami players, a visit to Tama-chan’s house, and his budding relationship with Kikuchi, the new semester is looking to be fuller than ever-and more challenging, too!

THE STUDENT BECOMES THE TEACHER...AND THEN BECOMES THE STUDENT AGAIN?! Tomozaki never expected he would be mentoring Tama-chan in the ways of the normie to defend her from bullying—especially not when she turns out to have an A-tier character to begin with. To make matters worse, Hinami insists that Tama-chan shouldn’t have to change at all, so he’s on his own this time. When a powerful new ally joins the party, though, taking down this boss just might be possible...

Kaito Sena's life hasn't exactly been easy. Unfortunately for him, death isn't about to get any better. Summoned by none other than Elisabeth Le Fanu, the "Torture Princess," Kaito has to choose what he wants for his second life-be her butler, or die a long, painful death by torture. What is he to do but become her servant...and help her eliminate the fourteen ranked demons wreaking havoc in the world! See the original light novel come to life in this gritty manga adaptation!
