Megumi is a girl who will not fall in love with the MC at first sight, who keeps a calm face when the MC does not keep his promise, who would not be jealous at everything the MC does, whose emotions are sometimes unpredictable, who can keep a normal conversation without trying to make a move on MC, nor would she immediately reciprocate MC's feelings after he professes his love for her.

Its character cast is set up with the classic harem formula. If the description so far sounds like a typical school life harem series, it is because Saekano never denies itself as such.
