Kawamura Kyonosuke is the successor to the prestigious Kishima family in the Kabuki world and has been brought up & trained in the art of Kabuki all his life. However, he no longer has any passion for it and has been turning in lacklustre performances despite his father's disapproval. Chiba Ayame is a poor high-school girl who loves Kabuki. After watching one of Kawamura's bland performances, she confronts him about it after the show and berates him for not taking Kabuki seriously and wasting her money. Also, as chance would have it, they later discover that the both of them also attend the same high-school. Chiba Ayame's passion & love for Kabuki touches Kawamura and, not only did he fall in love with her, she also inspired Kawamura to see his craft in a new light and he starts to take his Kabuki lessons & performances seriously in an attempt to win her heart. However, Ayame already has a childhood sweetheart and he happens to also be an aspiring Kabuki actor and Kawamura's rival. In a situation where the stakes are either a place in the Kabuki world or in Chiba Ayame's heart, who will prevail and will obtaining one mean giving up the other?
