Synopsis:

The series follows Junpei Murao, a high school student navigating societal expectations and personal desires. Driven by a childhood fascination with ballet ignited by a captivating performance, Junpei actively avoids any association with the art form, instead immersing himself in traditionally masculine pursuits like soccer and martial arts training. His carefully constructed facade begins to crumble when a classmate discovers his hidden talent.

This discovery leads to an unexpected invitation to join a local ballet studio, forcing Junpei to confront long-suppressed passions. The narrative explores themes of identity, self-expression, and the pressure to conform. It examines the challenges of reconciling personal dreams with perceived societal norms, as Junpei grapples with the potential consequences of embracing his true self and the sacrifices required to pursue a path less conventional.
