Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend

Tomoya Aki, an avid otaku, has a dream: to create the ultimate visual novel. But to do so, he needs a muse – an ideal heroine to inspire his masterpiece. His search leads him to Megumi Kato, a classmate so unassuming she barely registers in his periphery, yet who, in Tomoya’s eyes, holds the hidden potential to be the perfect, if initially uninspired, leading lady. This ambitious project quickly expands beyond Tomoya and Megumi, drawing in a talented artist and a brilliant writer who just so happen to be two of Tomoya's most popular and accomplished female friends. As they navigate the complexities of game development, creative differences, and their own burgeoning relationships, the lines between fiction and reality begin to playfully blur in this charming and meta-aware romantic comedy.
