Kono Oto Tomare!

After all the other members of the Koto Music Club graduate, Takezou Kurata finds himself as the lone president, facing the daunting task of reviving the club. Unfortunately, no one seems interested in joining, and just when he’s about to give up, a notorious delinquent named Chika Kudou shows up, declaring his intention to join and take over as president. Kurata is initially hesitant to accept someone with such a bad reputation, but as he learns more about Kudou, he starts to see a different side of him and realizes there’s more to his story. Just when things seem bleak, the talented koto player Satowa Houzuki steps in, using her charm to rally Kudou’s energetic friends—Saneyasu Adachi, Michitaka Sakai, and Kouta Mizuhara—to join the club. With a new group of members, Houzuki sets an ambitious goal for them: to become the best koto players in the country. This eclectic mix of musicians faces a lot of hurdles and personal challenges, but as they work through their differences and fears, they just might achieve their dreams together. It’s a journey of growth, friendship, and the love of music that brings them all closer.
