Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend

Tomoya Aki, a dedicated otaku, has spent years immersed in anime and light novels, drawn deeply into their stories and characters. Motivated by his passion, he decides to create his own visual novel to deliver a similar captivating experience to others. However, Tomoya realizes he can’t accomplish this alone.

He enlists the help of his childhood friend, Eriri Spencer Sawamura, to handle the illustrations, and Utaha Kasumigaoka, a literary elitist, to write the script, while he takes on the role of director. With this powerhouse team assembled, Tomoya finds himself in need of a muse for his project. He finds his inspiration in Megumi Katou, a beautiful and docile girl, who becomes the model for the main character of his game.

Tomoya, using his experience and passion, forms a new doujin circle, aiming to create a game that resonates deeply with its players. However, he soon learns that in order to evoke genuine emotions through their game, the creators themselves must first confront and embrace these feelings in their own lives.
