Cultural Exchange With a Game Centre Girl synopsis
Cultural Exchange With a Game Centre Girl is a rom-com anime series about Lily Baker, a foreigner who migrated to Japan to explore its culture. So, one day, she visited a nearby arcade and started playing a crane game. As expected, she was pretty bad at it.
Renji Kusakabe, the arcade's employee, saw her but ignored her at first glance. As Renji's shift was about to end, he saw Lily still struggling to win something. So, taking pity on her, Renji won a toy from the crane game on the first try and gave it to Lily. On Lily's suspicion-filled gaze, Renji stated that it was a gift. To his surprise, it was Valentine's Day, and this day is taken seriously from where Lily was.
