Wakaba Kohashi, accustomed to a life of privilege, sets her sights on embracing a more vibrant existence as a "gyaru" – a trendy and outgoing high school persona. Her pursuit of this new identity intertwines with the lives of three classmates: the reserved Moeko Tokita, the studious Nao Mashiba, and the spirited Mao Kurokawa. Their burgeoning friendship becomes a catalyst for exploring diverse lifestyles, from navigating school events and leisure activities to experiencing each other's contrasting worlds.

The series portrays their evolving relationships as they learn from one another, challenging preconceived notions about social classes and personal expression. Wakaba*Girl offers a slice-of-life perspective on adolescence, emphasizing the importance of friendship, self-discovery, and finding joy in everyday experiences while subtly examining societal expectations and individual aspirations. It’s a gentle exploration of navigating high school life through the lens of relatable characters.
