The story revolves around Tomoya Aki, a high school student who works part-time to support his passion for buying BDs. One day, he meets Megumi Katou, the most beautiful girl he has ever seen, which leads him down a complex path of relationships. Eriri Spencer Sawamura is his childhood friend and values their relationship above all else. Kasumigaoka Utaha is a renowned literary genius who treats everyone except for our protagonist with disdain. This appears to be an introduction to an eroge story, detailing the journey of a small not quite doujin circle but not quite indie studio as they navigate the challenges of Comiket and beyond.
