Synopsis – VTuber Legend

Yuki Tanaka, a 20-year-old woman, quits her alienating job to join the ranks of Live-On, one of Japan's largest VTubers companies, where she works among her idols. Under the pseudonym Awayuki Kokorone, she offers refined and elegant content, embodying the image of a graceful and polite woman. However, despite its alluring looks, its subscriber count and savings are at an all-time low.

One evening, after a live stream, Yuki, believing she has cut off her broadcast, relaxes by drinking and cracking crude jokes while watching Live-On's video archive. Unbeknownst to him, his audience hears everything, and his rude comments under the influence of alcohol quickly go viral. Yuki thinks his career is over... until her manager reveals that everyone at Live-On has been waiting for her to let loose for a long time and gives her carte blanche to drink live.

Freeing herself from her deceptively pure image, Yuki adopts a new "loud party girl" persona and is welcomed with open arms by her Live-On colleagues, who turn out to be just as crazy as she is. With popularity and income skyrocketing, Yuki discovers for the first time the pleasure of working in an environment where she can be herself without restraint.
