Nina Iseri drops out of high school and moves to Tokyo by herself. In front of the station in the suburbs of Tokyo, Nina sees Momo Kawaragi singing alone and is touched by the power of music. Nina decides to form a band with Momo, Subaru Awasu, a girl who hides her true feelings, Tomo Ebutsuka, who was abandoned by her parents, and Rupa, a lonely girl without any family...
In March, at the age of 17, Nina drops out of high school and moves to Tokyo on her own. She's completely lost in the big city. She was encouraged to come here after hearing a certain song she found online. The day she arrives, Nina meets the street musician who plays that song.
Nina starts to cram for school. She promised her parents she would try to get into college. However, she's having a hard time adjusting to her new cram school life, finding it difficult to get into her studies. As she's struggling, she receives a text from Momoka. When Nina visits Momoka's house, she is introduced to a girl her age.
As always, Nina's having a hard time focusing on her studies, but she finds herself having to go to Subaru's school to deliver Subaru's phone. After having a heart to heart, they start opening up to each other. Soon after, the trio set out to put on their first live show as a band.
Subaru's grandmother drops by Tokyo out of the blue. Subaru doesn't want to pursue acting. She wants to be in a band and play music. Now that she's come this far, she needs to say it clearly. But when the moment comes, she finds herself putting on a fake smile and playing the good granddaughter.
A live house that Momoka used to play at asked the girls if they wanted to play a show, and they agree to have their first battle of the bands. As they struggle to meet the ticket sale quota, Momoka gets tickets to a show for her former band.
The three girls practice to level up as a band. Nina is obsessed with beating Diamond Dust, and researches ways to increase their popularity, but she fails to find anything good. That's when Tomo and Rupa approach Nina after having been to see the three girls perform the other day.
Tomo and Rupa join Nina, Subaru, and Momoka, making a five-member band. Momoka informs the rest of an upcoming show they could play, but the five members have such different personalities that it doesn't look like they'd ever come together. Nina and Momoka have different feelings about the band, and they begin the show while their relationship remains strained.
After the live show, Nina and Momoka's fight continues to heat up as they express how they feel. Nina abandons all her escape routes to seriously pursue music professionally. Tomo says she'll quit if Nina and Momoka's rocky relationship continues. Then as Nina starts her first day of her part-time job, Momoka shows up.
Tomo is scared to say how she feels due to traumatizing past experiences and is unable to truthfully express herself to the other band members. Nina is currently learning the guitar and asks Tomo for her assessment, and Tomo gives her harsh feedback. However, when Tomo sees that Nina isn't giving up, it gives her the confidence to change.
Nina's parents come to visit her from her hometown as she continues to dedicate herself to the band. Nina runs away, but she reluctantly returns to her home after everyone convinces her. She tries to talk to her father, but as always, he doesn't see things from her perspective. The next day, her father takes her to her old high school.
