Selector Infected WIXOSS

A young high-school girl, Ruko, receives a deck of cards, the WIXOSS. In the deck, she finds an unusual talking card. Bewildered, she meets Yuzuki, who she calls herself a "Selector." Soon, Ruko finds herself in battle to be the "Eternal Girl."

Ruko, along with her new friend, Yuzuki, come across a battle of Selectors, Akira versus Hitoe. Yuzuki must now prepare to fight the winner, Akira.

Ruko finds herself in battle against Hitoe, and taps into a desire she has never felt before. Meanwhile, Yuzuki's battle ensues against Akira.

Ruko and Yuzuki become friends with Hitoe, with hope for a lasting friendship. Akira, wanting to battle Ruko, faces her, but then Iona appears...

While waiting for Ruko and Yuzuki, Hitoe is defeated in battle. The repercussions from Hitoe's third loss is beyond Ruko and Yuzuki's imagination...

Ruko battles Akira with a resolve unlike before. Meanwhile, Yuzuki comes to a resolve on her own after a meeting with a new Selector.

Following the incident, Ruko has been trying to have fun spend time with Hitoe and Yuzuki, but is still troubled by her memories of Tama. Stumbling across a WIXOSS tournament in a market, they are approached by Chiyori, who challenges them to a battle. They refuse and try to explain the true nature of WIXOSS to Chiyori, showing her what happened to Yuzuki, but Chiyori remains deluded by her fantasies. Meanwhile, Ruko continues to be troubled by Iona, whose wish was to become her LRIG, realising that, despite refusing to battle, she can't bring herself to throw her away.

It is revealed that Akira, who had become a recluse ever since receiving her scar, was approached by Ulith, now possessing Iona's body, who stated her admiration for her. Using Iona's position, Ulith helps Akira get her career back on track, though eventually asks for something in exchange. Later, as Hitoe and Yuzuki learn that Akira is seeking out Selectors, Akira appears before Ruko and Iona, challenging them to a battle with her new LRIG, Milulun. With Ruko becoming overwhelmed by Akira, narrowly avoiding defeat when their match is interrupted by a security guard, she laments that she isn't able to have fun in battles without Tama and her friends with her. Meanwhile, Chiyori is approached by Ulith.

Ruko briefly runs into Hanayo, who tells her to keep on battling, while Iona continues to try swaying her into taking advantage of her for the sake of battling. Feeling that she only enjoyed battles when she was with Tama, Ruko tries Iona for information on Tama's whereabouts, only learning Mayu's name. Meanwhile, in another world, Tama desires to see Ruko again despite warnings from Mayu, who she seems to remember from somewhere. Later, Ruko learns from Yuzuki and Hitoe that Akira is spreading rumors about WIXOSS to bring out more Selectors, eventually confessing that she had fought against her. After scolding Ruko for acting on her own, Yuzuki and Hitoe state that they wouldn't be happy if she was to disappear, even if it were for their sake, and agree to help her with her search for Tama. Later, Ruko and the others come across Chiyori being challenged by Ulith, who now wields Tama as her LRIG.

As Tama reluctantly follows Ulith's commands to fight against Chiyori, Ruko senses that Tama isn't having fun with battling and apologises for not sharing her true feelings with her before. After defeating Chiyori, Ulith tells Ruko to battle her if she wants Tama back, though Tama urges her not to do so. Later, the girls hear Chiyori mention a White Garden, which Yuzuki remembers as the room she ended up in upon becoming a LRIG, and ask to borrow her WIXOSS novel, which seems to be closely tied to the secret of the LRIGs. Determined to find the truth, the girls try to get in contact with the book's author, Futase Fumio, who they believe may be a Selector with knowledge about Mayu. Later, as Ulith prepares to make further use of Akira, Ruko and the others are called by Futase to meet up with her.

Futase explains she is fully aware of WIXOSS' secrets, but still desires to battle, agreeing to tell what she knows if someone beats her in a battle. With Chiyori already having two losses, Ruko steps in to battle against Futase and her LRIG, An. With Ruko struggling to bring out her full potential, Iona tells her that she needs to get serious if she has any hope of saving Tama. With this new determination, Ruko manages to grow Iona into a previously impossible Level 5 LRIG and win the battle. Futase then reveals that she herself was a LRIG whose Selector was the real Fumio, who initially wanted to achieve her wish by her own esteem. She eventually gave into battles and soon became an Eternal Girl while Futase took Fumio's place, during which she overheard Mayu mention about a "Girl of Black" and a "Girl of White", which Fumio believes that "Girl of Black" was referring to Iona.

Futase further reveals she feels burdened by Fumio's wish, as she needs to keep writing consistently to keep it fulfilled, becoming a Selector so that she could once again meet Mayu and find more material to write about. As Ruko becomes more determined to free all LRIGs so that they won't have to suffer as Eternal Girls, she discovers Iona has suddenly come down with a fever and tries to do what she can to help her. Later that night, after Hitoe leaves Yuzuki with Ruko that night, she is confronted by Akira who, upon finding that she is unable to battle without Yuzuki with her, takes her hostage in order to lure Ruko and Iona out. When Ruko arrives to confront Akira, she discovers her true opponent is actually Ulith.
