The story centers on Hideki Nishimura, a young man who confessed to a person he thought was a girl online, only for that person to turn out to be a boy. He keeps this "black history" secret and swears to never to trust a "girl" online again. However, one day a girl online confesses to him, and it turns out she's actually a beautiful girl named Ako Tamaki. Ako cannot tell the difference between the online world and reality, and she is a loner who has trouble communicating. Hideki and his friends from his guild decide to work together to "correct" her.

Where it came from
And you thought there is never a girl online?, or Netoge no Yome wa Onna no Ko ja Nai to Omotta?, began as a light novel series written by Hisashi Sugai and illustrated by Kazura Kineko. The story explores the intersection of virtual identity and reality through the lens of a high school gaming group, a theme that gained significant cultural traction during the mid-2010s as online multiplayer environments became central to youth social structures.
The 2016 television adaptation was produced by studio project No.9 and directed by Shinsuke Yanagi. The production focused on balancing the lighthearted comedy of the characters' virtual interactions with the awkwardness of their real-world encounters. While it fit into the burgeoning genre of gaming-centric anime, it was noted by critics for its emphasis on the social dynamics of guild members rather than purely action-based fantasy elements.
