This is a story about 212cm military otaku with "Sensha Otoko" as his handle name, who despite his huge, imposing appearance, is actually very shy, and thus no girlfriends. One day, he saves a teenage girl from being harassed, and falls in love. However, because he has no experience in romance, he consults his otaku friends on the web-board Eirei Throne-Channel for advice. This is the beginning of a True Tank Story.
