About this title
Synopsis
The world of OZ—a virtual space the connects the entire world—has become extremely popular. Accessible to almost everyone, the "citizens" of OZ can customize their own avatar and engage in a multitude of leisurely activities that range from shopping to socializing. Thanks to many more convenient features, the majority of the world is heavily reliant on OZ—the fire brigade uses it to respond to emergencies, doctors can monitor a patient's vitals whenever they please, and it is even trusted with safely returning the asteroid explorer, Arawashi. Kenji Koiso is a math genius and a part-time OZ moderator. He is invited by Natsuki Shinohara, his school's idol, on a summer trip. However, he did not expect to have to act as her fiancé for her grandmother's 90th birthday party. Shortly after his arrival at Natsuki's family estate, Kenji receives a strange coded message on his phone from a sender who challenges him to solve it. Using his math expertise, Kenji solves the 2,056 character code in just one night—but little does he know about the chaos that will be unleashed... [Written by MAL Rewrite]

He is famous on there for being an excellent fighter in the Martial Arts Championship. He refers to Oz's fighting games as not being a game, but a sport. He says that he “likes the fighting and winning, but not the gaming part.” He assists in helping Kenji with the fight against Love Machine. When he lost the first battle against Love Machine, many people sent him hate messages for not winning. His Oz avatar is a white rabbit wearing a red vest, jeans, goggles around the neck, and white and red gloves. Kazuma later on gives his avatar a haircut similar to his except blond to show his dedication to defeating Love Machine. Kazuma secludes himself in his room most of the time. He used to be very weak before learning Shaolin Kung Fu from his grandfather, whom he refers to as “master.” He sees Kenji's braveness as an inspiration.
