15 parts Ongoing Akio Kurokawa, as "Aiden Wildscale" is a small-time VTuber just trying to get by, using streaming as a way to distract himself from the problems of the real world. He tells himself that networking is important, that making connections could help him grow-but deep down, he doesn't trust people easily, and avoiding attachments has always been easier than risking disappointment. He's terrible at socializing. Awkward, shy, and prone to overthinking, he struggles to interact with bigger VTubers. Until she came along...
Rina Tapioca-His complete opposite, the talkative and outgoing idol VTuber he admires, seems completely out of reach. But when a chance online interaction leads to a casual friendship, Akio suddenly finds himself caught in a whirlwind of messages, collabs, and late-night chats.
As their virtual and real-world interactions deepen, Akio struggles to navigate his growing feelings. Is this just networking, or is he letting himself get too close to someone who could one day leave him behind?
