Synopsis

Tomoya Aki sees a beautiful girl beneath the cherry blossoms and immediately decides to create a dating game built around a heroine inspired by her. To make the project real, he recruits his talented childhood friend Eriri as artist and the famous student writer Utaha as scriptwriter. Then he discovers his mysterious muse is actually Megumi Kato, a quiet classmate he had barely noticed before.

Tomoya sets out to turn Megumi into the perfect heroine for his game, but creating something with talented people who possess real feelings is far more complicated than writing fictional romance. Deadlines, jealousy, and creative disagreements gradually blur the line between the relationships inside their game and the ones developing around the people making it.
