Main Characters:

SORA

The tall, maroon-haired male protagonist of the series, Sora is described as a confident and manipulative shut-in gamer. He is good at predicting and computing his opponent’s moves by their emotions, motivations, and behaviors in the game. He is not an introvert, thus, being able to face people with a much strong will. Though this strong will disappears when Sora is dragged away from Shiro, her little sister.

SHIRO

The short, white-haired (with streaks of light blue, purple, pink, green and yellow) female protagonist of the series, Shiro is seen as a cute but calculative shut-in gamer. She is very good at calculating logical problems but has difficulty showing emotions to others. She has a brother complex and tends to get a little bit jealous when her brother entertains other girls. Shiro is also known as a genius, being able to speak 18 languages + Imannity race’s language (having it memorized in 15minutes while Sora did it in an hour).
