Shoutarou Futaba has always been passionate about sports, but throughout his middle school baseball days, he spent most of his time on the bench. One day, while walking through a park, he stumbles upon a group of gymnasts training and ends up watching a rhythmic gymnastics competition. Despite their impressive routine, Shoushukan High School's Rhythmic Gymnastics Club finishes second to last because they are short one member and incur penalties. This display of skill captivates Shoutarou, motivating him to enroll at Shoushukan with the goal of joining the club, even though he has zero background in rhythmic gymnastics. The club welcomes him along with Ryouya Misato, a talented gymnast who had previously earned second place in a junior competition. Now that they have a complete six-member team, the club gears up for the upcoming Inter-High tournament. For Shoushukan to have a real shot at victory, Shoutarou must rapidly learn and master the fundamentals of rhythmic gymnastics and cooperate smoothly with his new teammates.
