Spring 2026

This omnibus adolescent drama is about a group of young girls who all attend a "girls-only musical school," recounting the formative years they shared, at times shifting between different characters' viewpoints and time.

Awajima Musical School Training Camp, dubbed the "boarding house," is where young girls gather from all over Japan to perform on stage. Tabata Wakana aspires to be a musical star; housemaster Takehara Kinue attends to carry on her best friend's wishes; beautiful Okabe Emi is a scholarship student who is always at the center of attention; and Ibuki Katsurako, who became a teacher at the school though originally from a family of actresses.

The unique environment of the musical school is simultaneously a respite space for these aspiring girls and also a harsh battleground that pits young students against each other. It is a place where perseverance can lead to blossoming talents, but also to a cruel reality at times. The clear depiction and psychological portrayal allow the subtle inner workings of each character to come through.

During an outing with their dormmates, Botan coincidentally spots Ibuki drinking by herself. Although she has never tried alcohol before, Botan is curious about Ibuki and her drink. Ibuki willingly shares her drink, and it turns out that drinking alcohol turns the usually well-mannered, cheerful Botan into an assertive flirt.

The other residents of their dormitory are shocked to discover that the withdrawn Ibuki has started drinking with Botan. Every new drink Botan tries becomes a fond memory, and she hopes to gradually break Ibuki out of her shell so that the two can enjoy drinks with the others one day.
