SYNOPSIS
Yaeko runs her father's okonomiyaki restaurant and lives a quiet life until she crosses paths with Hashizo, a young orphan with an eccentric talking cat. Through him, she meets Go Kato, Hashizo's older brother and frontman of the up-and-coming rock band Bee Hive, along with the band's charismatic guitarist Satomi. What starts as casual encounters spirals into something far more complicated as romantic feelings tangle with ambition, jealousy, and the intoxicating rush of watching a band rise toward stardom. The story pulses with the energy of 1980s rock culture while maintaining a light comedic touch, balancing laugh-out-loud moments with genuine emotional stakes. Yaeko finds herself caught between two captivating men while navigating her own dreams beyond the restaurant walls. Relationships shift and fracture as success changes everyone involved, testing whether connections forged in simpler moments can survive the pressure of the spotlight. Part romance, part coming-of-age journey, part love letter to the rock scene, this anime captures the intoxicating blur of youth, music, and the people who change your life forever.
