Chalk dust dances in the warm afternoon sunlight, settling quietly across the empty desks of a hastily repurposed high school clubroom. Minoa Asagaya navigates her first year at Sakaneko High School with absolutely no foundational knowledge of modern pop culture, haunted only by a fragmented, vague memory of a captivating childhood animation. Her casual attempt to identify this forgotten scene violently derails her ordinary student life when she unwittingly attracts the attention of Arisu Kamiigusa, a wealthy and relentlessly passionate otaku. Overwhelmed by sheer enthusiasm, Minoa is forcefully recruited to help establish a new animation appreciation club alongside Miko Kouenji, a quiet student who harbors an intense devotion to light novels. This newly formed group must immediately defend their fragile clubroom from a hostile student council intent on shutting down their seemingly frivolous activities. However, their daily routine of debating genre mechanics and binge-watching classic series soon triggers bizarre, unexplainable phenomena that perfectly mirror the fictional tropes they constantly discuss. The boundaries between reality and animation begin to crack, forcing the inexperienced Minoa to quickly decode the complex rules of narrative structure. Ultimately, her struggle evolves from simply surviving eccentric club meetings into a frantic, meta-textual scramble to prevent her entire reality from collapsing into an inescapable comedic cliche.

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.

I, Maehara Maki, struggled to connect with anyone during my high school years, finding it hard to make friends. Then, a turning point arrived. A girl named Asanagi entered my life. Despite being clandestinely referred to as the "second cutest girl in class" by the boys, she chose to spend her Fridays with me instead of her best friend Amami, who held the "cutest girl in class" title. In the comfort of my home, we delved into the realm of games, watched movies, immersed ourselves in manga, indulged in junk food—pizza, hamburgers—and guzzled cola, carefree and content. To the outside world, we might have seemed a bit messy, but to both Asanagi and me, it was a cherished, hidden time together.
