Thesis of Love
SteamMeet Shizuki (changeable name), a sociology student who joins the Computer Science master's program at Chishima Institute of Technology hoping to become worthy of her crush. There, she finds herself in the same research group as Masaki and Tetsu, plus their teaching assistant Yonhi. She has no idea what unexpected journey lies ahead...
Chishima is a massive artificial island nation in the Pacific Ocean. Founded by East Asian immigrants, this young nation actively embraces Western culture and values. Like everyone else growing up on the island, Shizuki comes from a traditional Asian family but receives Western education. These two distinct cultures interweave deeply in the islanders' daily lives, profoundly influencing how young people view love and relationships.

Your friendly and outgoing labmate who's always easy to talk to. Though smart, he takes a laid-back approach to his studies. He has a long-term girlfriend but often struggles with important life decisions. Lately, something seems off about his relationship…

A dedicated overachiever in your lab who takes his research seriously. He's strict about time management and can seem unapproachable, but beneath that cold exterior is a caring heart that can't help but worry about his friends. Sometimes he's spotted having lunch with a mysterious girl. Who could she be...?

Your lab's teaching assistant and the professor's postdoc. He seems indifferent to everything, even dozing off during group meetings. Word is that he published many breakthrough papers during his PhD in the US, but now he just seems to be slacking off. Though he wears a wedding ring, he never mentions his married life…
