Selector Infected Wixoss (2014)

Stepping into a new town as the newcomer, Ruuko Kominato walks the corridors of unfamiliarity, struggling to stitch together the fabric of friendship. Recognizing her struggle, her brother gifts her a deck from the popular trading card game WIXOSS, a beacon of hope to ignite connections in this foreign terrain. But the WIXOSS deck isn't just an ordinary set of cards. Hidden within each deck is a LRIG card, serving as the player's lifelike avatar during the game's thrilling duels. In the world of Selector Infected WIXOSS, the gameboard is far from ordinary. The LRIG card in Ruuko's deck doesn't just bear an image – it breathes, it speaks, it moves. As Ruuko grapples with this uncanny revelation, she is drawn into her first WIXOSS battle by a fellow student. Through the adrenaline-pumped match, Ruuko unravels the enigmatic layers of WIXOSS. She is a Selector, a chosen one gifted with an animate LRIG. With this privilege, she also inherits the tantalizing prospect of a wish granted. But the stakes are high. Three lost matches mean not just a shattered dream, but a curse to bear. As Ruuko steps into the thrilling arena of WIXOSS, she confronts more than just a game. It's a battle against fate, a gamble for her deepest desires, where the line between blessing and curse is as thin as a card edge. The cards are dealt, and Ruuko's fight for her heart's desire commences.
