Hitori Gotoh is basically every introvert’s spirit animal. After spending three years hiding in her closet, shredding her guitar and dreaming of becoming a rock legend, she has reached a dead end. Sure, she is an anonymous internet sensation with thousands of fans, but in the real world, her social battery hits zero the second someone says hello. She is desperate for popularity but paralyzed by the thought of actually talking to people. Just as she is about to fade into the background of high school life forever, a literal miracle happens: she is recruited to fill in for a band. Now, the girl who used to play to a pile of clothes has to face a live audience. Can this anxious mess of a teenager actually handle the spotlight, or will she crumble under the pressure of the stage? Packed with side-splitting comedy, authentic musical passion, and the most relatable social awkwardness you will ever see, this is the ultimate underdog story for anyone who has ever felt like an outsider. Get ready to turn up the volume and join the Kessoku Band on a journey that is as loud as it is heart-wrenching.
