Atom no Ko (2022)
Synopsis
Set in the video games industry, it depicts Azumi Nayuta, a young prodigy games developer, who stands up to a large corporation and grows through his relationships with those around him.
A “John Doe” in the video games industry, he produces video games independently without any link to a company or distributor. Nobody is aware of his true identity and he’s often referred to as the “Banksy of the video gaming industry.” He is suddenly sought after by Atom, a long standing toy manufacturer who are on the verge of going out of business. With no funds, and barely any know-how, they approach Nayuta for his support in rebuilding their failing business.
