The Bloom Garden Party is finally here. It’s the stage where everyone will “someday, surely” bloom—the goal Kaho and the others have been chasing for a whole year. This is the first step.
 
The long-awaited day has finally arrived — the day when the promise they made with the graduates will come true. It was also the last day for the 103rd-year students, on the verge of graduation, could spend with their friends as students of Hasunosora.
 
―Even so, the girls race through their “youth” with all their might. This is the story of girls who struggled to bloom, a tale of dreams made real together.

Otonokizaka High School stands on the border of three cities: Akihabara&mdash;a pop culture mecca that's evolving by the minute; Kanda&mdash;a conservative, cultured city where history and tradition reign supreme; and Jinbo&mdash;a quiet area reserved for a more mature, sophisticated population. Amidst this culture clash, the school now faces closure due to the enrollment of fewer and fewer students. 
With the school planning to close within three years, nine female students come together with one thing in mind&mdash;form a pop idol group to revive the school's popularity and keep it from shutting down. "In order to protect our beloved school, there's only one thing we can do... become pop stars!" 
Their goal is simple: Become an overnight sensation and use their nationwide media exposure to promote their school and bring in a wave of new students to the ailing area. A simple but solid plan, they figure. Naturally, they're nervous and wonder if this plan can really succeed, but for better or worse their new journey has begun... 
"All we can ask for is just a tiny bit of support from you. We truly believe that with your help, we can change the world around us. We will make our dreams come true!"
