• Patrolling - Patrol the rooms of the residents. If a resident is in their room, you can start a conversation with them

• Blur feature - “Blur” is a special terminal feature approved by Hanasaki City for the exclusive use of apartment complex managers.

Since Blur is only intended for managerial work, please use it with moderation
• Light Attribute: Light See-Through - Have a conversation with a resident while seeing through their clothes. This was originally a security feature to inspect outside visitors, but has since become resident-exclusive. There are four varities of frames. This feature exists for the sole purpose of security. This feature cannot be used when a resident is wearing swimsuits or only underwear
• Light Attribute: Light Invisible - Become invisible and patrol the residents without giving them stress. Since this feature also includes a silencer, the manager can watch over the residents’ daily lives without intrusion. Be sure to remember that this feature is solely for the sake of patrolling
• Time Attribute: Time Stop - Stop the movement of everyone except the manager for 15 seconds in real time. While time is stopped, you can get as close to the residents as you want, but be sure to put a stop to any mischief. The feature can be used at any time during a conversation

• Energy Attribute: Energy Clean - This feature lets you clean up all the garbage and messiness at the location it is activated. Use this to instantly clean places where cleanliness has declined and cannot be cleaned due to things such as residential interaction. This feature can be activated at any time during cleaning
• Magic Attribute: Magic Wind - Blow up wind from beneath the residents for a fixed time. You can replay “memories” of past events from the manager’s terminal, which is where you can activate this feature. Since this feature can only be activated when replaying memories, you do not have to worry about your favorability with the residents decreasing
• Magic Attribute: Magic Dwarf - A feature that minifies the manager. Like “Magic Wind,” it can only be activated when replaying “memories.” By using this feature, you can check out the residents from angles you normally could not see. But you might injure your neck if you look up too much, so please be careful

Somewhere in Japan lies the suburban Hanasaki City. It’s a city that capitalizes on its abundance of water resources and diligent townspeople to prosper in the precision equipment and factory plant cultivation industries. The setting of Happy Manager is an apartment building built on the high ground in Hanasaki City called “Happy Manor.”

It has a bit of a retro exterior; perhaps it was built during Japan’s bubble era? There is a rumor that it was originally built as a rich man’s vacation home, and the building’s non-standard facilities make it popular. When it’s in need of a new manager, you take on the duty.

In Happy Manager, you take on the role of an apartment manager with three female tenants to manage. The game will have you do everything from regular management work to communicating and getting to know the girls better.
