Mugi Asai, a young shy girl entering high school, is unsure on what clubs she should join. After she accidentally displays her loud vocal skills due to an excited outburst, the president of the Drama Research Society, Nono Ichinose, comes to her to ask her to join her club. After some minor pressure by Nono, Mugi signs up for the club, but is still unsure what this will entail.

Mugi attends her first meeting with the Drama Research Society and finds out there are only five members including herself. During this meeting, she finds out that she will inevitably have to act in an upcoming play that the club will put on, something that Mugi is unsure she can handle. The following day, the Drama Research Society are practicing on the roof of the school, and Chitose Kanna from the Drama Club comes to help them.

The Drama Research Society's first public performance is coming up, and Mugi is nearly petrified to appear on stage. Nono manages to get Mugi out of a bathroom stall she had locked herself in, and then the club starts to hand out fliers to promote the event. During dress rehearsal, Chitose bursts into the auditorium and asks if Nono really is suffering from a latent form of vocal cord paralysis, and this is confirmed by Nono herself. During the play, Nono calms down Mugi enough for her to go on stage and she manages to get through her lines well enough.
