Plot

Tomoya Aki, a male high school teenager who works part-time to fund his otaku lifestyle (anime, dating sims, and related merchandise) encounters a beautiful girl one day during spring vacation. A month later, he finds out that the girl is his classmate, Megumi Kato, who is hardly noticeable to her classmates. Hoping to create a visual novel computer game, he turns to school beauties Eriri Spencer Sawamura for designing the art, and Utaha Kasumigaoka for writing the game scenario. Tomoya then recruits Megumi to star as the "heroine" (the main character's love interest) of his game, thus forming the development team "Blessing Software", in which the three most renowned students in the school (Tomoya, Eriri, and Utaha) work on one of the least noticeable (Megumi). The series follows their adventures in developing the game and their plans to sell it at the Comiket convention, as well as the emotional entanglements among the team.

Voiced by: Kiyono Yasuno[3]
Megumi is Tomoya's classmate and the title character who, despite being good-looking, is otherwise so ordinary that she does not stand out in class at all.

Her attitude toward Tomoya is often described as an ordinary person, but is very close to him.[3] She is the inspiration and working model for Meguri, one of the main heroines of Blessing Software's game. Later on, she also begins learning and helping out with programming. She later grows her hair long, but cuts it back to a short hairstyle by the end of the series.

She has both intelligence and beauty, and is the brightest student in the school. Most of the students hold her in awe.LN 1 Tomoya describes her as having long black-hair with an expressionless and quiet nature that gives her the appearance of a beauty, but harbors a sharp and critical tongue.LN 1[3] She calls Tomoya Rinri-kun (倫理君), translated into English as "Mr. Ethical", after he flatly rejected her suggestion that he read the last volume of Koisuru Metronome before it is published.
