When Chiaki first appears, she cuts a disheveled and deeply introverted figure—a solitary gamer who prefers virtual worlds over social interaction. Despite sharing an uncannily similar taste in games with protagonist Keita Amano, the two clash fiercely over their opposing views on moe aesthetics, making them natural rivals. Beneath this prickly exterior lies a remarkable secret: she is a prolific indie game developer and, unbeknownst to either of them, Keita's long-time online confidant. As a web of misunderstandings slowly unravels, Chiaki finds herself forging genuine bonds with those around her—and quietly developing feelings she never anticipated.
