27-year old Maki Enomoto is done with relationships. One year ago, her terrible boyfriend made her the joint guarantor on a loan before promptly ghosting her with a mountain of debt. Now she just wants to be left alone to her quiet otaku life, working her office job to make her ex’s monthly repayments, and devoting what scant little is left to her hobbies. Namely, her virtual boyfriend Allen-kun, who is hot, kind, and dependable in a way that real-life men aren’t-least of all the hotshot young VP that keeps getting on her case about deadlines and deliverables. But when said VP shows up with a rather interesting proposal, Maki must decide if she's ready to roll the dice one last time…
After Maki accepts Ichika’s proposal, their platonic arrangement is off to a good start. But while Maki can finally indulge in some quality time with virtual boyfriend Allen-kun, she finds her thoughts wandering more and more to Ichika. It all comes to a head with a steamy night on the balcony, complete with a kiss. He departs for a business trip the next day, leaving Maki to process what just happened on her own. When he returns a few days later, he’s his usual self, and he’s behaving like nothing’s changed between them. Maki is doubly confused when he mentions offhand that she’s forgotten something important about their past…
