During Covid and vtubers explosion, several manga about them started to appear and getting fan translated,
some of them being
obvious references, but there is one that started to gain some traction :
The Four Gods Who Will Really Debut as VTubers in 100. Those shorts were funny and the idea of the chinese gods struggling to stream was original.
The writer Maki (魔木) is known for making a lot of parody one shots while the artist Giba-chan is now known for its manga
The Apothecary Is Gonna Make This Ragged Elf Happy
According to the translator Hashirumi (also rip him since he stopped any fan translation), it might have been a PR move to introduce the real vtubers but it seems they really did it with a kickstarter.
So we had :
Byakko Akine, the White Tiger, fps and marathon rpg
Genbu Michiru, the Black Tortoise, singer, TRPG and zatsu
Suzaku Nanami, The Vermilion Bird, asmr and retro gaming
Seiryu Aoi, The Azure Dragon, god eater fan and fotm

They got a good start and raised about 20k followers each in a month, unfortunately due to a dispute between the writer and the artist, the manga was cancelled and the group disbanded:
The vtubers were able to keep their IP and keep streaming
Seiryu Aoi seems to have been the most popular as she was able to reach 100k followers this month before retiring and privating all her videos, probably hired somewhere else
Genbu Michiru seems to have graduated last year on december and wiped everything, even her youtube channel
Byakko Akine and Suzaku Nanami are still streaming but they never got past the 3views or 30k follower, even with sponsors and events like custom apex or gta, thought they seems to be content of their current status
