The second-year arc begins!
This is Kyoto Prefectural Kitauji High School. Kitauji High School is a school with a deviation score of 60, located near Rokujizo Station on the Keihan Uji Line. Last year, under the reforms of Noboru Taki, a music teacher who had just arrived at the school, the Kitauji High School Concert Band—which had previously only managed Bronze in the prefectural competitions—achieved the feat of advancing to the Nationals. In the following year, with the excitement still lingering, a new administration has started with Yuko Yoshikawa as President and Natsuki Nakagawa as Vice President, as appointed by last year's seniors. This year's goal is to win Gold at the Nationals. In this club where romance between members is permitted, there is no shortage of talk about love.
