Hajime Aono used to live for the sound of his violin playing. Ever since he was young, he had admired his world-renowned violinist father, who inspired him to pick up the instrument himself. But following his parents' bitter divorce, Aono swears to never play again and heads for high school without a direction or a prospect.
During a physical education class, the unathletic Aono gets struck in the face with a ball and ends up in the infirmary. There, he meets the brash Ritsuko Akine who begins to play the violin in the room, believing she is alone. However, following a past incident, there have been rumors claiming that Akine is a bully, which has isolated her from her peers—a fact Aono was unaware of.
Akine dreams of enrolling in a school with an orchestra, but her amateurish playing and lack of musical knowledge grates on Aono immensely. Seeing this as a perfect opportunity for the two to become friends, their teacher suggests that Aono teaches Akine how to play the violin, something Aono is vehemently against. However, as the pair spends more time together, they soon learn to understand and help each other—and Aono may finally discover the lost passion and melody in his life.
Aono Hajime was a prodigy violinist until he grew jaded with playing the
violin due to personal reasons. Now in his third year of middle school,
he struggles to decide his academic path. One day in school, he meets
Akine Ritsuko, a hotheaded novice violinist who wants to enroll in a
high school with a distinguished orchestra club. When he finds himself
getting closer to Ritsuko and being brought back to the world of
violinists, time starts moving again for him.
This is the beginning of a youthful drama where sounds and hearts alike resound in harmony.
