Seiran General Art Institute Stage Department Performance Major third years Koharu Yanagi, Suzu Minase, and Hisame Honami aim for greater heights, with Koharu as the chief and Suzu and Hisame as the sub-chiefs. The strict teacher Kyoko Yakumo tells them, "This year's new students won't be easy to deal with." Five students among the first years stand out as soon as school begins: Ruri Shimotsuki and Oto Namioka from the Stage Department Performance Major, and Nanaha Akemitsu, Kei Shidara, and Nagomi Koromoya from the General Studies Department. Many students were roused after seeing them break school regulations and put on a performance in their own style without permission, and the school is abuzz from the event. Koharu and the others are hit with an unexpected shock seeing the girls behave in a way that flatly rejects Seiran General Art Institute's "ideology". In order to find "their reason for being here" and "their true selves", they clash over differing values.
