Volume 1 Synopsis (Google Translated): Takezou became the only member of the koto club after his seniors graduated. In April, he works hard to solicit new club members, but there are people who do not know the existence of the club itself. A new student, who seems to be a delinquent and has no relationship with the koto, appears in front of him and said he wanted to join the club!?

I hope this wonderful story gets an official manga translation. I was introduced to this work when my sister showed me the anime. It is about a group of high school students are pulled to a koto club that is on the verge of being disbanded. Through hard work and dedication to master this instrument, they find that they themselves are growing and changing as well. I especially like how the author gives all the characters a background that influences their behavior, as well as the chemistry between characters whether it is friendship or blossoming romance.
