Minoru Ohkuma knows a lot about animals and insects, and her fascination with living things has led her to keep a research notebook of her daily observations. That fascination has now turned toward her classmate, Komichi. Komichi knows a lot about various creatures due to her country upbringing, and she takes notes on things that interest her. After learning that they have these things in common, Minoru and Komichi decide to observe their classmates together. Minoru believes that acting in secret is important when observing living things, but Komichi, the only student at the school who wears a sailor uniform, tends to stand out and isn't the best at being secretive...

As classes end and students are heading to their clubs, Hebimori Oshizu, who didn't join any clubs, returns to her dorm alone. She's interested in music and bands, but the rock music playing through her headphones and the music magazines featuring her favorite artists are enough for her. But then one mistaken thought by Komichi changes her day-to-day life: "I want to hear a real guitar! Please let me hear you play sometime!"
