The opening promise is a fairy and a moonlit night. What actually happens is four girls learning to be a team through yosakoi, which sounds generic until you realize the show cares more about the friendship fractures than the dance routines. It breaks the CGDCT formula not by subverting it but by letting its characters want different things and actually fight about it. The predictability of the plot structure doesn't matter because the show knows you're here for the chemistry, and that chemistry is real. By the finale you're not watching cute girls do cute things. You're watching four people who started as strangers become necessary to each other.

Naru Sekiya is a 14-year-old who considers herself average in every way: looks, grades, arts and sports. She adores storybook heroines and wishes she had the strength to open up and step forward, while her childhood friends Yaya and Tami seem busy with a rock band and the student council. One moonlit night she meets what looks like a fairy perched on a torii gate, who asks her to dance. The next day the fairy turns out to be Hana N. Fountainstand, a transfer student from America who has loved yosakoi, a festive Japanese dance, since she was little. Hana wants Naru's help starting a yosakoi club. At first Naru is frightened by Hana's enthusiasm and the idea of dancing where people can see her, but she gradually gets drawn into the dance and into helping her new friend chase her dream. Expect a comedy and slice of life story about friendship and finding courage.
