INT has announced that it will release a new title, *Love, Nice to Meet You: Console Edition*, on March 25, 2027, through AirVelocity, its brand specializing in ports for home video game consoles.
This title is the home console version of the PC romance adventure game *Love, Nice to Meet You*, released on February 28, 2025, by sister brand ASa Project. Supported platforms include Nintendo Switch, PS4 (digital download only), and PS5 (digital download only).
A coming-of-age comedy based on the concept of “Rags to Riches” × “First Encounters”
The genre is described as a “romance adventure where everything is a first,” with the tagline “—Let’s Start Our Youth?”It’s a coming-of-age comedy that depicts the protagonist—a socially awkward loner who doesn’t even have friends, let alone a romantic partner—discovering the joys of youth through friendship and romance, rising to become a true “protagonist,” all while navigating days where everything is a “first.”
It’s a work that lets you fully savor the feeling of “I wish my youth had been like this”—not just through romance but also by making friends—and as a successor to *Koi-bana Renai*, it’s a title that pursues the ultimate Asapro-style youth experience. The story begins at rock bottom but gradually becomes more and more lively as it progresses.A key feature is that the characters are essentially meeting for the first time, placing even greater emphasis on the process of romance and friendship than ever before. Rather than approaching the heroine directly, you’ll enjoy a playful courtship process where you build connections from the periphery through interactions outside of school—such as at part-time jobs or in online games. The protagonist is a relatable, growing character who resonates closely with the target audience, making it easy to empathize with him.
Synopsis
The story is set in the cherry-blossom-colored spring, the season of new beginnings. The protagonist, Iori Ogata, would arrive at class first for no particular reason, zone out during lessons, and spend his days ending without speaking to anyone—his sole purpose in life being to rush home as soon as school let out.Just as he was thinking his school life would end without incident, an incredibly suspicious-looking angel descends from the sky along with cherry blossom petals, introducing herself: “I’m Kirarin Happy Angel-chan! I want to make the world overflow with happiness!”
When Iori says, “If you’re really an angel, make me happy,” the angel replies, “What’s that—a marriage proposal? Even I can’t save someone who doesn’t try to make themselves happy,” and adds, “You know, happiness is… well, isn’t it love, after all?”With the words, “Now, let this little angel bless you—until the day you become the protagonist,” the story begins: a tale of the protagonist—who has never fallen in love with anyone nor been loved in return—striving to live a happy youth starting right now and becoming the “protagonist” through love.
The Protagonist and the Colorful Heroines
This work features the protagonist, Iori Ogata, as well as heroines such as the self-proclaimed angel “Angel-chan,” Murasaki Aizawa, Himeno Fuga, and Koimaru Inuya.
Iori Ogata: A man who declares, “I’m afraid I have to decline any kind of recruitment,” he is a “man who had nothing to do with youth”—and one who might just become the protagonist.His hobbies include online gaming, and he excels at all kinds of housework. At heart, he is timid and avoids interacting with anyone outside his immediate circle as much as possible, spending his days in a monotonous routine. Though he harbors a vague anxiety about whether this is really how he wants to live, he couldn’t bring himself to take that first step—until a shocking encounter with Tenshi-chan sets him on a new path.
Tenshi-chan: “I’m Kirarin Happy Tenshi-chan! I want to make the world overflow with happiness!” She is the “far-too-suspicious angel.”This self-proclaimed angel suddenly approached Iori upon their first meeting and ended up moving in without permission. She boasts that, in exchange for food, shelter, and clothing, she’ll make Iori happy through romance, and she meddles in all sorts of ways—but in reality, she’s nothing more than a runaway girl in cosplay.While her appearance is so angelic that you’d mistake her for one if she stayed quiet, the moment she opens her mouth, she says nothing but devilish things. She chatters away about things no one asked for, yet refuses to talk about herself, and is rarely seen with anyone other than Iori.
Yukari Aizawa: “Oh, did I get caught? I’m just terrible at remembering people’s names and faces,” she says—she’s “the cutest girl in the class.”She’s a famous model who appears in many commercials and is Iori’s classmate. She looks good no matter what she’s doing and gives off a more mature vibe than her classmates, but she’s an eccentric who marches to the beat of her own drum. She also has a playful and mischievous side befitting her age, so people are sometimes confused by the contrast between that and her image as a model.She often misses school because of work, and to be honest, it seems she’d like to live a little more like a typical student. Despite living on her own, her life skills are practically nonexistent, and she often makes excuses, saying it can’t be helped because her work is so busy.
Himeno Fuga: “Isn’t that obvious? A princess is supposed to be protected,” she says. She’s a “former loner with a princess-like disposition who wanted to live a life as a princess.” She puts all her energy into being fawned over, and even though she doesn’t look like a senior at all, she acts the part.She’s a princess who’s a bundle of insecurities and clumsy to the core, but her stats (other than her height) seem to be pretty impressive. Due in part to her personality, she doesn’t fit in with others and tends to be a loner; the few friends she’s managed to make have had their relationships sour, and for some reason, she’s ended up in a “big sister–little brother” dynamic with them. She wants to put on a brave front—at least in online games—and be fawned over.
Komar Inuya: She’s the “puppy-like junior you just can’t help but pet,” who says, “What’s with that look? I’ll bite you, growl.” She’s a junior with a very puppy-like vibe; when she’s in a good mood, it’s so obvious that you might even hallucinate seeing a tail—which she doesn’t actually have—wagging.She’s incredibly curious and tends to stick her nose into everything, always eager to try out new things she’s just learned. She acts like a guard dog, protecting her best friend Sachi—who’s always getting into trouble—but you have to be careful because if you make her angry, she’ll bite down hard without mercy.

After all sorts of twists and turns, the heroines have become four sisters.
Angel: “No, this isn’t something you can just brush off as ‘one thing or another.’ They’ve changed from the very core.”
Murasaki: “Hmm, maybe it’s what they call the invisible hand of God?”
Himeno: “Yeah, yeah, this is just for show, right? …Right!?”
Koimaru: “So, since Koimaru is the eldest sister, do any of you have any objections, little sisters!?”
Tenshi: “No, I do have an objection—a huge one. No matter what happens, you’re definitely the youngest.”
Murasaki: “Tenshi is definitely the eldest, right? Actually, it’s the other way around.”
Tenshi: “Hey, I’m only sensing malice here.”
Himeno: “Why don’t we just go with the ‘quadruplets’ setting?”
Koimaru: “Even if we’re quadruplets, the order matters! Was it based on the order they appeared, or was it the other way around…?”
And so begins the battle for the protagonist’s affections among the four makeshift sisters… What will the outcome be?
