Story introduction:

The main character dropped out of school in her second year of high school to work alone in Tokyo and pursue college. A girl who is betrayed by her friends and does not know what to do. A girl abandoned by her parents, working part-time to make ends meet in the big city. This world always betrays us. Nothing is as it seems. But we want to love something. Because we believe there is a place for us somewhere. That’s why we sing.
