Young Ladies Don’t Play Fighting Games (Taiari deshita. ~Ojosama wa Kakuto Game nante nai~) adapts the KADOKAWA-published manga by Eri Ejima. Seven Seas Entertainment describes the manga’s synopsis as such:
Kuromi Girls’ Academy is a refined, elegant school that expects the very best in deportment from its young ladies. Aya got into this peerless rich-girls’ institution on a scholarship, and hopes to grow as lovely as her fellow student and idol Shirayui. But Shirayui hides a terrible secret: she’s a trash-talking, combo-chaining, newbie-stomping, ruthless hardcore gamer! Could a mutual indulgence in no-holds-barred video game combat grow into a deeper rapport between these two girls?
The anime was announced back in 2021. Its broadcast start was delayed from 2025 to this year last September.
The manga is serialized in KADOKAWA’s seinen magazine Monthly Comic Flapper and has 10 volumes as of
