In order to chase after the "aspiring high school student" that he met while he was in middle school, Yuta Hoshitani enters the prestigious Ayanagi Academy, a music school known for its intensive training. Knowing that the highschooler was a student from the Musical Department, he challenges its super, difficult audition. However, standing right in front of Hoshitani's dream is a group who reigns at the top of the school, examining him with shine in their eyes - the Kao Council!

After becoming a part of Kao Council member Otori's "Team Otori", Hoshitani is able to continue on as a Musical Department candidate. However, despite the fact that there's nothing wrong with their abilities, his teammates Nayuki, Tengenji, Tsukigami, and Kuga each have some kind of problem. Even with such a heavy feeling in the air, Otori starts practice in an unusual way - "Come on boys. It's time to play!"

Through the first practice, the difference between Hoshitani's abilities and his teammates' becomes clear. As a result, he begins to practice on his own everyday while receiving support from Nayuki. However, he's still unable to keep up with the harsh practice. In the end, the young noble of the theatrical world Tengenji has harsh words for Hoshitani - "For the sake of the team's survival, leave the team." Now under pressure, what will happen to Hoshitani? And just what is the furious Tengenji's secret?!

As Hoshitani continues to do his best, he begins to move the hearts of Team Otori's members. However, Tsukigami is the only one who refuses to try to work alongside them. With the pressures of being a "thoroughbred from the musical world" and an inferiority complex due to his older brother, Tsukigami suffers alone. After learning of Tsukigami's distress, Hoshitani is unsure of what to do. And at last, the star of the Star Teams, Team Hiragi appears!

Just as the Newcomers' Debut Performance (the upcoming test stage for the Musical Department candidates) approaches, Team Otori finally begins to work together. However, Hoshitani's skills are still lacking, causing a big issue for the team. At the same time, they witness Team Hiragi's performance. Overwhelmed by their perfection, Hoshitani suddenly feels uncertain.

It's finally time for the Newcomers' Debut Performance, a rigorous testing stage where half of the teams will be no longer be Musical Department candidates. Unfortunately, Hoshitani and the others still feel anxious about their performance and there are speculations that the motley Team Otori will definitely be cut. In order to support his students, Otori plots out a secret plan. As a result, what will be Team Otori's fate?!
