This omnibus adolescent drama is about a group of young girls who all attend a girls-only musical school, recounting the formative years they shared, at times shifting between different characters' viewpoints and time. Awajima Musical School Training Camp, dubbed the boarding house, is where young girls gather from all over Japan to perform on stage. Tabata Wakana aspires to be a musical star; housemaster Takehara Kinue attends to carry on her best friend's wishes; beautiful Okabe Emi is a scholarship student who is always at the center of attention; and Ibuki Katsurako, who became a teacher at the school though originally from a family of actresses. The unique environment of the musical school is simultaneously a respite space for these aspiring girls and also a harsh battleground that pits young students against each other. It is a place where perseverance can lead to blossoming talents, but also to a cruel reality at times. The clear depiction and psychological portrayal allow the subtle inner workings of each character to come through. (Source: Japan Media Arts Festival, edited)

Obsessed with their rather ordinary classmate Ken Kirio, high school students Aimi Miyoshi and Nami Sometani form a peculiar friendship. Every time the girls hang out, they talk about Kirio and fantasize about interacting with the boy they usually just observe from afar. Aimi and Nami are mostly satisfied with the status quo, but they occasionally cannot help but be jealous of those who get to be near their crush—though this still rarely leads them to approach him directly.
