Pastel Memories

The setting for the story is Akihabara, a metropolis in the future. It was originally referred to as the "Holy land of otaku," but it is now a business district. Only a few specialist stores are still functioning, otaku culture has diminished, and people are losing their memories of anime and manga. The "memories" of manga and anime in people's brains are what sustain the world of creative works, but when the world of the creative work is wiped out by a virus, it vanishes from everyone's memory and is deleted from the physical world. To preserve everyone's priceless memories of their favorite manga and anime, 12 girls working in a modest shop in a corner of Akihabara are fighting the virus and trying to restore Akihabara to its previous state.
