Yuki Tanaka, a 20-year-old former wage slave, now works alongside his idols: streamer Live-On, one of Japan’s top VTuber companies. As the beautiful, elegant Awayuki Kokorone, she delivers only the most feminine content. Unfortunately, her subscriber count and savings are at their lowest. One evening, after Yuki thought she had finished her live stream, she made a few cold statements—and many crude jokes—while watching Live’s video archive. On. But her viewers heard it all, and clips of her raunchy, drunken comments went viral overnight. Yuki thinks her career is over…until her manager reveals that everyone at Live-On has been waiting for her for a long time and allows her to drink freely on television. Now free from all false purity, she jumps right into her new “noisy drunk” persona and is welcomed into the group by her fellow Live-On VTubers, who turn out to be just as crazy as her! With her perspective and finances skyrocketing, Yuki’s job—for the first time in her life—is actually exciting!
