Summer Wars (Japanese: サマーウォーズ) is a Sci-Fi anime film that tells the story of a student named Kenji Koiso, who is an 11th grader said to be a professional in mathematics. Natsuki Shinohara, a 12th grader from the same school, told him to come with her to the city of Ueda to celebrate the 90th birthday of her great-grandmother. He received a strange message by an AI rogue named Love Machine, who then stole his account as well as many others in the network.
