Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend — Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend ♭

11 episodes · Apr 14, 2017

Fresh off finishing the first chapter of their visual novel, producer Tomoya Aki and his team at Blessing Software are brimming with hope – they’re determined to make this season's best game. But the road ahead is far from easy. One persistent hurdle? Megumi Katou just doesn't quite embody the vibrant heroine Tomoya envisioned, often fading into the background so much that even her teammates, Eriri Spencer Sawamura, Utaha Kasumigaoka, and Michiru Hyoudou, seem to forget she’s there. As Blessing Software races against deadlines and navigates constant revisions, they're about to discover the realities of a demanding industry and the challenges – and rewards – of working together as a team.
