After being compelled to leave JPX48 due to a scandal involving a male fan, Ai Narata vows never to engage with another man again. Driven by her abilities and a fierce wish to escape men, she applies to the exclusive all‑female Kouka School of Musical and Theatrical Arts. The academy is famed for forging the finest actresses who later join the renowned all‑female Kouka Theatre Troupe. With her idol‑industry background, Ai fits perfectly into the hundredth generation cohort, yet her detached attitude pushes classmates away. Despite her talent, she struggles to form bonds, often preferring solitude over camaraderie. Her reputation as a silent, enigmatic figure precedes her, causing both intrigue and wariness among peers.
The quirky Sarasa Watanabe is the sole person who hopes to become Ai"s friend. She enrolls at Kouka aiming to rise as a top "otokoyaku" performer—an actress who portrays traditional male roles. After witnessing a Kouka rendition of The Rose of Versailles in her youth, Sarasa yearns to play Lady Oscar one day. Unfortunately, Sarasa"s lack of social awareness sparks tension with her peers, including Ai, who reluctantly takes on the role of roommate and classmate.
Thriving at Kouka demands more than raw talent; jealousy, betrayal, and the brutal realities of show business strain these young women"s resolve. Will Sarasa and Ai manage to climb to the pinnacle and stand upon the silver bridge?
