Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata
Synopsis: Tomoya Aki, an otaku, has been obsessed with collecting anime and light novels for years, clinging to several series with captivating stories and characters. Now he wants to have a chance to provide the same experience for others by creating his own game, but unfortunately, Tomoya can't perform this task on her own.
He successfully recruits childhood friend Eryi Spencer Sawamura to illustrate and the elitist literary Utaha Kasumigaoka to write the script for his visual novel while he drives. Super-group now in hand, Tomoya just needs an inspiration to base her project and, fortunately, knows the beautiful and docile Megumi Katou, where he shapes his main character later.
Using the knowledge he has, Tomoya creates a new circle of Doujin hoping to touch the hearts of those who play their game. What he does not realize is that, to invoke these emotions, the creators had to experience the same feelings in their own lives.
