Tentatively planned: Haikyuu!! and Ace of Diamond.
To be decided: The Prince of Tennis and Kuroko's Basketball.
A friend’s company developed a new otome game. Apparently, it was still in testing.
My friend asked, "Want to give it a try? You’ll get paid!"
Mikumo Kirie, who had been single since birth, was instantly tempted!
In the beginner's bonus pack, Mikumo Kirie drew the "childhood friend" skill.
Mikumo Kirie was satisfied. Now she wouldn't have to search aimlessly for a romance target! The target was obvious: her childhood friend!
What? You can unlock upgrades by paying?!
Sorry, no way! She wasn't going to spend money! Not even a thought! It was only a romance game, after all!
She, Mikumo Kirie, had never spent money on a game!
But...
Why did she have two childhood friends in every world?
Who was she supposed to pursue?
And wasn't it a little too lazy to give her nothing but basic stats that were way too similar to her real self and an unused admission letter?
Ah, maybe it was because she refused to pay.
For her first playthrough, Mikumo Kirie chose the "Volleyball" map, eager to roll up her sleeves and get started.
Her childhood friends were Oikawa Toru and Iwaizumi Hajime. Was there even a choice? Of course she picked Hajime!
And then... she failed to win him over.
For her second playthrough, Mikumo Kirie was furious and refused to give up, so she started over. But she forgot she had terrible luck. Since she hadn't paid, she was sent to Hyogo, where she met the even more horrible Miya twins.
Disaster, disaster...
But if she had to choose, she would still pick Miya Osamu. At least he tried to hide how awful he was.
And then, once again, Mikumo Kirie failed to win him over!
Mikumo Kirie nearly flipped the table!
For her third playthrough, Mikumo Kirie decided to learn from her mistakes. Since the targets in the previous two rounds had both been the nastier one of the pair, all she had to do this time was choose the nasty one!
Confident of success, Mikumo Kirie opened a new "Baseball" map, eager to begin a fresh chapter.
But...
Huh...? Was something off? This time, it seemed her only childhood friend was Narumiya Mei?
Could it be that she'd finally gone from unlucky to lucky? And Narumiya Mei's difficult personality fit the pattern, too!
Mikumo Kirie suppressed her excitement and decided to take things as they came. They were still young, after all. Maybe another childhood friend would show up out of nowhere?
After being scarred by the previous two worlds, Mikumo Kirie stuck to her principle of keeping her head down until the end and never making the first move...
And sure enough, while she was keeping her head down, another childhood friend dropped out of the sky: Miyuki Kazuya!
Who should she choose this time? In a way, they both seemed difficult to deal with.
Mikumo Kirie: "..."
Hey, if she failed again, she was quitting the game!
She regretted it a little. If only she had said no!
Love was so hard! Love was such a pain! What had made her think she could do this?!
Well, money.
Oh well, her friend hadn't said she needed to clear the game. She could just let everything happen naturally, play through it all, and submit a review of the experience... right?
Probably...
Theme: One-on-one romance at first, then a love triangle showdown later.
