VTuber Legend tells the story of Yuki Tanaka who joined the fictional Live-On agency as VTuber Kokorone Awayuki. Though initially appearing as a wholesome character, she is much known for cracking open some drinks and more than a few crude jokes, making her a legend among her peers.
The animation production has been green-lit early January this year.
