Synopsis:

The series follows Akari Akaza as she navigates her first year of middle school alongside her classmates Yui Funami and Kyouko Toshinou. These three form an unconventional group within the school's landscape, taking over a vacant space once occupied by the Tea Club. Their activities are defined not by any specific goal, but by the simple desire to entertain themselves and each other.

The narrative unfolds with gentle humor as they welcome new companions into their orbit, often finding themselves in delightfully absurd situations. The focus is on interpersonal relationships and the comfortable rhythms of everyday life, exploring themes of belonging and the unique bonds formed through shared moments of playful absurdity. The atmosphere is lighthearted and observational, prioritizing character interactions over grand plot developments.
