Yuu Sasaya, a first-year Japanese major from the countryside, is a naive girl still adjusting to city life. After watching her first stage play, a minor role's performance leaves such a strong impression on her that she decides to pursue acting. She confesses this dream to a classmate and is ridiculed, but she gets the chance to tour a theatre company. There, she meets well-known rookie actor Touya Ichii and immediately recognizes his voice as the character that moved her. Seeing Yuu's passion, Touya recommends her to his friend Shougo Shimamura's troupe, Garandou Company. Shougo tests Yuu's acting abilities with high expectations, only to find she is a complete amateur. Unwilling to give up, she begs him to let her observe and learn from the troupe over time. Ashita no Ousama follows Yuu as she searches for her hidden talent among the various roles in a theatre company, driven by immense determination to make it in the world of dramatic arts.
