The next day, you wake up on time, and get ready for school, but Cristine doesn’t come by to pick you up. You consider whether or not you should text her, after all she could be running late. You decide to wait five minutes, but there’s still no knock on your door. With the possibility of Cristine still being mad at you clear in your head, you head out. The walk to school seems even longer than before, a cold breeze biting at your fingers as you walk to school. Cristine still nowhere to be seen.
As you walk into the classroom, you look around to see if Cristine is there, but you can’t see her anywhere. You take out your cellphone and check the time. Five minutes to school starts. Still no sign of Cristine.
Then just as the school bell rings, Cristine and Jakobe walks in, one in front of the other, followed by the teacher coming in lastly and closing the door. She doesn’t so much as glance at you, as she takes her seat. You want to say something, but choose not to, as the teacher immediately starts teaching the class. You look at your phone, thinking maybe you should text and ask her if she’s mad at you, but ultimately you don’t, thinking you could be wrong.
OK, so Protagonist-kun is an otaku living in a small apartment decorated with his collection of anime figurines. Whenever Protagonist-kun is asleep/going to class/not around, his figures come to life, a la Toy Story.
His collection covers a large variety of archetypes: you've got the typical Magical Girl figurines, the giant Pokemon/Studio Ghibli plushies, the Gundam modelkits, and the Revoltech/Figmas with interchangeable parts that can move independently of the main body (a la Mr. Potato Head).
The figurines are aware that they are toys, and sometimes entertain themselves by watching the shows/playing the games that their characters originated in (for example, browsing Protagonist-kun's computer and being shocked to discover rule 34 of themselves).
The ongoing plot thread involves the figures trying to help Protagonist-kun get away from the hikikomori lifestyle by subtly hiding "help wanted" ads in convenient places, sending anonymous emails to a cute girl he likes, etc.
