Thank you for always supporting me!” It’s a secret from everyone else, but it turns out she’s actually my favorite heroine’s voice actress?! I am only interested in 2D heroines! But, Yuuka’s true self, which she only shows when she’s alone with me, is nothing but cute! This is the story of me and Yuuka, starting as fiancees. A heartwarming and chaotic romcom!
