After leaving the popular idol group JPX48, Ai Narata starts a new journey into the world of the Kouka Revue, an all-female musical theater troupe. It's there that she meets Sarasa Watanabe, a tall, semi-obnoxious go-getter with lofty dreams.

Sarasa and Ai head back to Tokyo for summer vacation. Kabuki actor and Sarasa's boyfriend, Akiya Shirakawa, reflects on his childhood with Sarasa and their memories of kabuki.

The first-year class gets another opportunity to act, this time in front of a crowd at the Culture Festival. However, there are only four roles, and forty students, which only means one thing: auditions.

The Romeo and Juliet auditions begin in earnest. Yamada looks back on her pre-Kouka years as she finds her bearings in her role. Sarasa revisits a conversation she overheard between Kouzaburou and Akiya.
