The story follows high school student Totsuko who can see people’s emotions as colors -- happy colors, fun colors, calm colors, and even her favorite color. Totsuko forms a band with Kimi, a girl from her school who radiates a beautiful color, and Rui, a music-loving boy they meet in an old bookstore on the edge of town.

Kimi has stopped attending school and hasn’t told her family. Rui, whose mother expects him to become a doctor, hides his passion for music. Along with Totsuko, each of them harbors their own secret struggles.
