    Synopsis:

    The narrative centers on Asai Mugi, a high school transfer student grappling with profound social anxiety. Her extreme shyness manifests as complete speechlessness under pressure, a constant hurdle in navigating everyday life. Unexpectedly, Mugi is drawn into the world of the school drama club, where her quiet demeanor and observant nature are perceived as valuable assets. The series explores Mugi's tentative steps towards overcoming her anxieties as she participates in theatrical productions. It depicts the supportive relationships formed within the club and the challenges of collaborative performance, contrasting the vibrant energy of the stage with Mugi’s internal struggles. The story offers a thoughtful look at personal growth, self-discovery, and the power of finding belonging in unconventional places.
