As rumors swirl, he leans on his advisor to gather allies from classmates like Kano, underclassman Asumi, and even his elusive little sister Hiyori. Amidst the chaos, the former unreachable president, Shio, also enters the scene. Whether by fate or design, the stage is set for the extraordinary battles of the “Random Lottery Student Council President” to unfold!
The Cast
The cast of the Hamidashi Creative game includes Hitomi Yanagi voicing Hiyori Izumi, Hana Akino voicing Kano Tokiwa, Yukino Tsumugi voicing Asumi Nishiki and Miu Hamabe voicing Kamakura Shio.
Mojasubii, the director behind the game, intriguingly describes its theme as a fusion of “‘Trust school’ x ‘Creative'”. The project introduces characters who step into the shoes of Vtubers, a unique take according to Mojasubii. He shared his thoughts on this innovative concept, emphasizing the challenge of bridging the gap between a VTuber and an eroge heroine.

Mojasubii’s insights were shared during an interview with Tech Giant in September 2020.

The game seems to be striking a chord, both with users and within the Madosoft team.
With all the positive reception and reviews, it’s exciting to see what the Hamidashi Creative anime adaptation will bring. Although the episodes will be only a few minutes long, fans are still more than excited for its release.
