Satoko Hayakawa (Riko Narumi) is the captain of the calligraphy club at her high school and has won many awards in various exhibitions. In her family, Satoko has always had to please and win the approval of her father, who is a professional calligrapher, which has gradually become stressful for her.

Kana Shinomori (Nanami Sakuraba), who is the best friend of Satoko and the vice-captain of the calligraphy club, appeals to Satoko that she wants to win a team prize for the club after putting in 3 years of effort. However, Satoko is reluctant about working as a team, which at the same time felt depressed over Mio Oakazaki (Rio Yamashita) who had quit the calligraphy club.

Then one day, Hiroto Ikezawa (Nobuaki Kaneko) comes to their high school as a substitute teacher, who is also appointed as the advisor of the calligraphy club, but appears to have no interest in teaching its members.

Nevertheless, when Satoko and the members saw Hiroto performing in front of the school by fluidly writing a large script with background music, the calligraphy club begins to undertake a new direction.
