Aoba Suzukaze has been obsessed with the Fairies Story game series since she was a kid—especially the character designs. So it made sense that after graduating high school, she applied to Eagle Jump, the studio behind her favorite games. Her first day brings some great news: she's joining the team working on Fairies Story 3, and she'll be doing it under Kou Yagami, the lead character designer she's always admired. The character design department is full of passionate game developers. There's Yun Iijima, who specializes in monsters; the soft-spoken Hifumi Takimoto, who prefers chatting over instant message; Hajime Shinoda from the animation team, who's obsessed with collecting figurines; Rin Tooyama, the organized art director; Shizuku Hazuki, the game director who brings her cat to the office; and Umiko Ahagon, the short-tempered head programmer. New Game! follows Aoba and her coworkers as they navigate the messy reality of game development—nailing character designs, wrestling with bugs, dealing with tight deadlines, and all the chaos that comes with shipping a video game.
