A story about Yuta, a junior-high student who struggles with stuttering. After being overwhelmed by a self-introduction at the entrance ceremony, he gradually regains his voice through ties with broadcasting-club friends and family.

Beyond the pain of not being able to speak smoothly, Yuta begins to face his own voice.
