A synopsis for Make A Girl, which is slated for a January 31, 2025 theatrical release, reads:

The story takes place in the near future: Akira Mizutamari, a scientific genius who succeeded in developing and commercializing SALT, a robot that supports people's lives, finds himself stuck in a rut when all of his new inventions fail. After hearing from a friend that he can "power up" by creating a girlfriend, he does literally that and scientifically creates an "artificial" girlfriend named "No. Zero". Torn between her programmed emotions and her growing feelings, No. Zero starts to waver. Is it "love" that buds between her and Akira, who is unaccustomed to communicating with others, or perhaps something else......?

The fascinating characters for this story are played by Atsumi Tanezaki (No. Zero), who has shown her ability to transform from one character to another in roles such as Anya in "SPY x FAMILY" and Frieren in "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End", and Shun Horie (Akira Mizutamari), who has been selected for leading roles in various popular works, including Kyoutarou Ichikawa in "The Dangers in My Heart". Gensho Yasuda’s unpredictable super-new cyber love suspense animation is now coming to the world.
