In her first year at high school, Yui Hirasawa is searching for a club to join.

Unable to even read sheet music, Yui joins thinking she will play the castanets, the only instrument she can play, while the other three girls think she is a guitar prodigy… Comedy ensues as the trio helps Yui learn to play the guitar, with the four eventually making a great girl band in time to play at the school’s festival.
