The complete series hasn't been released in English, but you can read the entire first and second volumes and parts of the third [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/houkago_play here]].

So far, there are three completed volumes. However, only the first volume has been completely scanlated, with work being done on the second.

Given that the second volume has just begun being scanlated, we won't know much about it for a while, other than it stars a guy who looks like a shark and loves portable games, and his girlfriend who is more into manga than video games.

** [[VideoGame/EarthDefenseForce]]

** SniperElite

* FootFocus: She is ''very'' fond of using her feet to torture him, whether it be via kicking him, using his head as an ottoman, and even rubbing them over his face, neck, and shoulders at one point. Not to mention the milk scene, or the strip entirely devoted to her removing her shoes...
** Almost every eyecatch in each chapter's beginning features the girl's feet and the joystick's cord. Just do the math.
** It's revealed that she's [[GenreSavvy aware of]] her feet and legs being her most notable feature, as she takes the time to go home and change into her high-heeled shoes, so as to accent her legs for her boyfriend's viewing delight.

* TallDarkAndBishoujo

** [[MetalGearSolid M*t*l G**r]]

* ShoutOut: To the SouthPark episode "Guitar Queer-o", of all things - aside from all the video game references.

[[redirect:Manga/HoukagoPlay]]

{{Yonkoma}} manga about [[NoNameGiven unnamed]] couples, at least one of whom will have a passion for video games. The first volume features an [[NoNameGiven unnamed]] high school student and his [[NoNameGiven likewise unnamed]] girlfriend, both of whom share a passion for playing video games...and each other, though they both have trouble admitting it. This alternates between the two of them [[TwoGamersOnACouch playing video games and discussing them at length]], and [[WillTheyOrWontThey trying their best to express their feelings for each other]].

Given that the second volume has just begun being scanlated, we won't know much about it for a while, other than it stars a guy who looks like a shark and loves portable games, and his girlfriend who is more into manga than video games.

* CatGirl: Subverted. The girl tries to pander to the guy's inner otaku with a pair of cat ears and glasses. The guy is unimpressed. [[InelegantBlubbering She takes this quite harshly.]]
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The girl spills some milk on her stockings, and she makes him clean it off of her feet. Considering the amount of attention her feet get...
* EroticEating: Aside from the above, in one panel the girl shows off her ability to tie a cherry stem in a neat knot. Two at once, in fact.
* FootFocus: She is ''very'' fond of using her feet to torture him, whether it be via kicking him, using his head as an ottoman, and even rubbing them over his face, neck, and shoulders at one point. Not to mention the milk scene, or the strip entirely devoted to her removing her shoes...
