Yuuta Hoshitani enrolls in the prestigious Ayanagi Academy, hoping to find the high school student who inspired him. The academy is renowned for cultivating exceptional musical talent, but students must first compete for admission to the Musical Department. At the helm of the department is the Kao Council—a group of third-year students who wield significant influence over the school and departmental admissions. The quickest way for Hoshitani to join the department is to secure a spot on a Star Team, which would grant him instruction from a member of the Kao Council. After catching the attention of Itsuki Ootori, Hoshitani comes under the tutelage of the Kao Council's most eccentric member. His teammates on Team Ootori include his roommate, Tooru Nayuki; fledgling Kabuki actor Kakeru Tengenji; the quiet Shuu Kuga; and Kaito Tsukigami, the younger brother of famous Ayanagi alumnus Haruto. As Hoshitani grapples with his lack of talent, his teammates must also overcome their own shortcomings. Facing opposition from other talented Star Teams, including the other four members of the Kao Council, Team Ootori must forge their own path as they strive to perform in the Ayanagi Festival.
