An animated film, titled Saekano the Movie: Finale, was produced by CloverWorks and premiered on October 26, 2019. A visual novel based on the anime, titled Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata -Blessing Flowers-, was released on April 30, 2015.

A second season aired from Apto June 23, 2017, and was streamed exclusively on Amazon Video. An anime television series adaptation by A-1 Pictures aired between January 9 and Maon Fuji TV's noitamina block, which has been licensed by Aniplex of America. Saekano has received a manga adaptation in addition to three spin-off manga adaptations. The story follows high school student Tomoya Aki, who recruits a trio of beautiful girls to help him develop a visual novel to sell at the Comiket convention.

Fujimi Shobo published thirteen volumes between July 2012 and October 2017 under their Fujimi Fantasia Bunko imprint. It also is very ironic how the protagonists condemn typical anime cliches while being typical anime cliches.Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend, known in Japan as Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata and the short form Saekano, is a Japanese romantic comedy light novel series written by Fumiaki Maruto, with illustrations by Kurehito Misaki. The last 4 episodes feel super, super rushed, and there is no meaningful conclusion. It feels annoying and the humor of season 1 is gone. Season 2: Character development comes to a hold, Kato's screen time is much too short and meaningless, every single conversation is about the McGuffin (the video game they are working on), and there just is too much forced conflict. I think they overdid it with female characters. And then there is Michiru, Aki's cousin, whose only purpose is to be another girl in Aki's life. Aki's other friends, Eriri and Utaha, are much more central to the actual plot, but both of them are unlikable and moody. But other than that, she lacks any real purpose other than to grow closer to Aki, and it feels somewhat forced.

Kato has no real reason to put up with them, but she does anyway, and her stoic remarks are priceless. Season 1: The plot, of course, doesn't make a lot of sense, but Aki's eccentrism and antics are fun to watch.
