Hi Score Girl will be getting the anime treatment this month! The series, described as a 90's arcade romantic comedy, is set in 1991 and follows a young boy named
Haruo, who spends most of his days at the local arcade. Everything was going well until a wealthy girl, named
Akira, who manages to outplay
