Synopsis:

Hana Haruyama has always found solace and fascination in narrative. Raised in the close-knit community of Tonaki Island, she honed her storytelling through informal performances for the local children, content with the familiar rhythms of her life. This quiet existence shifts when Hana enrolls in Sumomogaoka High School and encounters Mizuki Usurai, a driven broadcasting club president who recognizes Hana’s innate talent.

Mizuki’s encouragement pushes Hana to confront her self-doubt and consider pursuing her gift beyond Tonaki Island. The narrative follows Hana's journey as she navigates the challenges of high school life while exploring the world of broadcasting. The series explores themes of self-discovery, ambition, and finding one's voice within a supportive community, all framed against the backdrop of competitive broadcasting. The story emphasizes character development and the process of artistic growth rather than immediate success.
