The setting is in “OTAKU Academy,” where students compete with knowledge of Japanese manga, anime, games, special effects, and cosplay to determine their grades. The player becomes a student and challenges quiz games in order to achieve higher rankings. The official characters of the World Cosplay Summit will act as your supporters and do the narration of the story.
