Synopsis

Shoujo-tachi wa Kouya wo Mezasu is a series all about finding oneself and a direction in life... no matter how far off the beaten path it might be.

Buntarou Hojo is a high school student who has a talent for writing, but no real direction in life or any plans for the future. His classmate, Sayuki Kuroda notices his talent, decides to help him find a way to use it properly by enlisting him in her bishoujo game development group.

When Buntarou is cornered in the men's bathroom at school by Sayuki, he is surprised when he is asked out on what he thinks is a date, and even further surprised when he finds out that it's not a date, but a job interview. Reluctantly agreeing, the two start recruiting other members for their team but will they learn more about game creation, or life itself along the way?

Background

The visual novel was released on March 25, 2016 in Japan. It shares its cast with that of the anime.

This is like "Welcome to the NHK" but without Hikikomoris and it's set in high school.

If you have time to spare and you... like slice of life, like video game development, like mundane settings that are realistic with a somewhat realistic cast of characters... then you'll probably enjoy this show! Especially if you don't take it too seriously and don't have high expectations (like expecting a detailed run-down of bishoujo game development).

The characters aren't super complex and they might be somewhat cringe, but they do their job and are believable.
Some scenes, like with the run-on-joke about how '3D girls suck and normie ...

I'll keep this review as short as possible.

I recommend this to those who are curious or bored. This is a straightforward story with simple characters and some character development. A bit of romance for those who are wondering. Everything about this anime is just simple. So, don't expect something from this anime, for example, a bright and cool MC. No such thing. MC is just your ordinary high student that got dragged into otaku stuff. There is no "cool" scene. Just simple and easy to enjoy. Don't overthink. Just enjoy and keep the question hidden. Overall, it just a bit average.

This anime, the story and everything about it screams to me.
"How to get blacklisted by every company on the scene and how to lie for personal profit for a living"

Yeah, the characters are interesting.
The design and art is also interesting.
What is not interesting is the story based on lies and just clear misunderstanding.

I get it, the writer of this series wanted it to be unique and refreshing.
But, this is what you don't want to do at all costs in life.
