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.

That's why you want him to be happy.
