The protagonist is tired of his daily work and feels pessimistic about his life. His only source of solace was watching livestreams of Ramie, who made her debut when the protagonist was still a student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ramie was just a piece of illustration at first, but with the advancement of technology, she became more and more alive with natural-looking movements. Watching Ramie communicate with her viewers and grow up over the years, was a delightful experience for the protagonist. Then one day, for some reason, Ramie came out of the virtual world and appeared in front of him.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184432-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6957\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184432-002.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184432-002-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184432-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184432-002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184432-002-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184432-002-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184432-002-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184432-002-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184432-002-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184432-003.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6956\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184432-003.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184432-003-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184432-003-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184432-003-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184432-003-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184432-003-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184432-003-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184432-003-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184432-003-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Ramie is an apprentice angel and a Vtuber maid with around a million subscribers. A bit of a klutz, but a caring girl. She came out of the virtual world to thank the protagonist for cheering her up when she was working as a Vtuber. Now, the two of them will live together. There will be laughter and tears, mixed with some mildly lewd moments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>iMel, the developer and publisher of this title, has been involved in many R18 games such as the <em>Aikagi<\/em> series, <em>Hamidashi Creative<\/em>, and <em>Wagamama High Spec<\/em>. Their newest title<em>Vtuber Maid Ramie<\/em> is being co-developed with monime. The illustrations are being handled by itohana, who has previously worked on actual Vtuber designs. Ramie is fully voiced, and the game makes use of M2\u2019s E-mote tool to animate the character illustrations.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184432-004.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6955\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184432-004.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184432-004-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184432-004-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184432-004-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184432-004-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184432-004-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184432-004-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184432-004-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/20211202-184432-004-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br><em><a href=\"https:\/\/monime.info\/ramie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vtuber Maid Ramie<\/a> <\/em>is scheduled to come out on December 16 in Japan.
