The story is about Naoki, a middle-aged man gamer, and Honami, an avatar woman gamer, who meet on a defunct social VR service and fall in love.
The gap between virtual reality and reality is carefully portrayed through Naoki’s loneliness.
Although note’s tagline states “2020s forecasts” , there are scenes that remind us of Virtual Market, which is held on VR Chat and the VR rhythm game Beat Saber. The features are depicted with real VR.
