A show about kids starting a school music club sounds generic until you realize it's actually about grief, and how you learn to carry it instead of run from it. Every character is running from something real, and the show never flinches when that catches up with them. By the final episode, you're not watching a school performance; you're watching four people decide who they're allowed to become now that the past won't let go.
Wakana Sakai once studied music but walked away from it after losing her mother, and her final year of high school pushes her to face that loss. Konatsu Miyamoto loves singing, but after a mistake the year before, the vice principal bars her from the school's annual recital. So she decides to start her own singing club with her friends. Finding members proves hard, since Wakana has given up singing and a month remains before the recital. Sawa Okita, an archery club member who dreams of riding horses professionally, joins them, along with badminton player Taichi Tanaka and Wien, a transfer student back from 12 years in Austria. What starts as a simple club becomes something deeper. As these five students work together, old hurts surface alongside new friendships, and music draws them into an ensemble during their last summer of high school. A music-focused slice-of-life story about growing up.
