Story
36-year-old Hidaka Izumi is the CEO of Pegasus Inc, a startup which creates dating games for females. While working at an insurance company, she led a dreary life without any dreams or motivation. At that point, she was introduced to such games for females by a friend. She started playing them casually and her heart was instantly captured. Finding meaning in life for the first time, Izumi moved to work for a game company where she met a top creator Mitsui Tomohisa. Four years ago, she started Pegasus Inc together with him with the ambition of creating the best games from scratch. Its first game called Love My Pegasus became an unprecedented huge hit when it was released. The game so popular that it was said to have revolutionised the world of dating games for females and Izumi was hailed as an up-and-coming businesswoman. In this game, players fall in love with the character Kento-sama who was created based on her ideals. Although things seem to be going well for Izumi, she has been racking her brain for the production of the next game. She is busy raising development funds and even seeks an investment from Mizushima Juzo, the CEO of a major outdoor wear manufacturer. However, he refuses outright. One night, a weary Izumi is walking home after having one too many drinks when a man literally falls from the sky all of a sudden. She is stunned but gets a bigger surprise after taking a look at his face. This man is a dead-ringer for Kento-sama in Love My Pegasus. He is 23-year-old Igarashi Wataru who seems like a prince who had swooped down to earth when he had actually been running away from debt collectors. Only his looks match Izumi’s ideals. Wataru is rude, uncultured and lethargic. Despite her disappointment, Izumi decides to change his life and develop him into the ideal guy as a result of an unexpected turn of events.

Pegasus Inc’s CEO. Before she became a CEO, she worked for a local insurance company, and back then, she was leading a dull life of tedium. She started Pegasus Inc with Mitsui Tomohisa. Their first release Love My Pegasus was a huge hit. Apart from her superb communication skills and management ability, she is trusted by her subordinates because she is open with everyone, never gives up no matter how difficult the situation and relentlessly presses forward.

She always forgets about work and gets absorbed in Love My Pegasus once a week.

His hair is unkempt, he also does not care about the clothes that he wears and passes each day without any expectations for his future.
