About

The story is set at "Eagle Jump," a game production company in Tokyo. It is a mid-sized company that plans and develops computer games, where staff from various fields—such as character design, motion, programming, planning, and direction—collaborate to create a single game. The heart of the story is Eagle Jump's game production team. With many young female employees, it is a bright, lively, and approachable workplace. While everyone works seriously at their computers during work hours, there is a warm, homey atmosphere during breaks and downtime, with employees chatting about their hobbies and games. While the office is based on a standard corporate layout, it is filled with items typical of a game company: numerous PCs and LCD monitors, design references, gaming consoles, tablets, and employee ID cards. Each employee has their own desk and workspace, organized by team. Desks are decorated not only with work tools but also with personal items like plushies and trinkets that reflect each employee's personality. At Eagle Jump, game production is never a solo endeavor; staff from various specialties work together to complete a project. Character designers conceptualize the characters, motion designers create movements and animations, and programmers implement the game systems. Planners and directors determine the overall direction of the game and manage the staff as development progresses. Because game development involves deadlines, there are times when work gets busy, or the team is swamped with revisions and troubleshooting. However, the overall atmosphere remains fundamentally bright, emphasizing the fun and sense of accomplishment in completing a work with colleagues rather than just the hardships of the job. In this world, the professional work of game production naturally blends with the daily lives of the employees. The routine of an ordinary working adult—meetings, computer work, lunch breaks, small talk, rest, commuting, and weekend events—is depicted within the unique environment of a game company. The characters have different personalities and areas of expertise, but they fundamentally help each other out. Various human relationships exist, including senior-junior dynamics, friendships between peers, professional rivalries, and feelings of admiration and respect. The overall atmosphere is "bright," "cute," "warm," "comical," "slice-of-life," "work," "game production," "youth," and "bonds with friends." It never becomes overly serious; even when there is professional hardship or tension, the banter between characters and comical events keep the mood light. Eagle Jump is not just a background; it is the vital stage where the characters grow, chase their dreams, and interact with their friends. A representative work is the fantasy RPG series "Fairies Story," which the protagonists are involved in producing. For Aoba, "Fairies Story" is a beloved game she has admired since childhood, and working for the company that made it is the fulfillment of her dream. Overall, it is a world where "cute girls work at a game company, worrying about their jobs, putting in effort, cooperating with friends, and growing little by little." While incorporating realistic elements of game development, it maintains the warm and bright atmosphere of a slice-of-life anime.
