Synopsis
## Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend
An otaku dreaming of making his own game recruits a beautiful but utterly unremarkable girl as the inspiration for its heroine, alongside the gifted creators secretly in love with him.
Tomoya Aki is a devoted otaku who funds his hobby with part-time work and dreams of producing his own dating-sim game. A chance, movie-perfect encounter with a stunning girl inspires him, but when he finally meets her again as classmate Megumi Kato, she turns out to be so plain, quiet, and forgettable that no one ever notices her. Convinced she's the secret model for the perfect heroine, Tomoya recruits Megumi along with two gifted creators, his tsundere childhood friend Eriri, a star artist, and the aloof writing prodigy Utaha, both of whom harbor feelings for him. As the prickly team builds their game, romance and rivalry intertwine. A self-aware rom-com about creativity, otaku culture, and the ordinary girl at its center.
