## Story

The game follows the player being hired as the producer of the HaniPre live house run by Kumamaru, Panmy, and Kohachi after Kumamaru drags the player to watch their live show. Kumamaru and Panmy explain that youth-themed lives are held every day at the live house.

After watching the show, the number of fans increase, so Kumamaru and Panmy ask the player to help them to make HaniPre "the world's best live house". At the live house, Kumamaru and Panmy show off many new stories about the HoneyWorks characters.
