▍Story
The story focuses on the Koto club of the Tokise high school. Takezo Kurata, in his second year, is the only member left in the Koto club, tries to recruit more members into the club. Good news come as Kudo Chika submits his application.
But, since Kudo is known to be a delinquent, one who destroyed his own grandfather’s koto shop, Takezō is apprehensive about him. Things change when he comes to know the truth.
