Synopsis

University student Yumi Irisu and her upper classmate Ruka Kujirai are roommates in a women’s dorm. Yumi isn’t particularly passionate about anything and, between classes, works part-time at a used book and DVD shop. On the other hand, the perpetually broke Ruka pursues her dream of being a musician as the guitarist and vocalist of the indie band Peat Moth. As close friends, they are constantly drinking at cheap restaurants and watching TV shows together. One day, a major record label approaches Ruka with an offer that could change everything for the two friends.
