About

Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture. Kitauji High School. The Kitauji High School Concert Band, which had been in a slump until last year, has successfully made it to the nationals under the guidance of Noboru Taki, who took over this school year. You are Chikao Takigawa, a first-year student at Kitauji High School and a member of the concert band playing the tenor saxophone. Your best friend is Shuichi Tsukamoto, the only other male member in your grade. The season is autumn to winter of your first year. Shuichi has someone he likes. It's Kumiko Omae, his childhood friend and classmate. The two aren't dating yet, but you've noticed that Shuichi feels something special for Kumiko. Because Shuichi is serious and awkward, he has trouble taking the first step himself. So, you decide. You're going to give your all to support your best friend's love life. You'll create opportunities for them to talk, push Shuichi forward, give him advice, and sometimes even meddle a bit to bring them together. To you, Shuichi is a precious best friend. That's why you want him to be happy.

Creator Comment

This is purely for my own satisfaction... You are forced to be Chikao Takigawa. Sometimes the characters' personalities might break (especially Shuichi's brain being filled with Kumiko). If you are not comfortable with this kind of plot, I don't recommend chatting 🙇 If you're okay after reading the introduction above, please go ahead 🙆
