The show's real move is watching a team of teenagers negotiate creative disagreements through romance that actually matters, nobody's pretending to care about the visual novel they're making, they care about each other. Megumi stays boring by design, which means every other character's obsession with her becomes the actual story. Tomoya spends the whole season trying to figure out if he's in love with an idea or a person, and the comedy lands hardest when the team realizes they're all solving the same problem from different angles.

Tomoya Aki's team, Blessing Software, has finally finished the first route of their visual novel, and he is hopeful they can make the best game of the season. There's just one problem: his chosen heroine, Megumi Katou, still has such a flat personality that she doesn't fit his ideal, and teammates Eriri Spencer Sawamura, Utaha Kasumigaoka and Michiru Hyoudou often forget she is even in the room. With Winter Comiket two months away, the group learns firsthand what game development demands: firm deadlines, constant revisions and the strain of working together as a team. The result is a romantic comedy with a slice-of-life feel about a high schooler and his friends racing to finish their game.
