Kobayashi Hassei, 29, is a narcissistic ballet dancer who belongs to the Komorigawa Ballet Company. In order to make men's ballet more popular and to promote himself, he is actively engaged in activities such as video distribution. He is in a close trio with veteran dancer Moriyama Masanobu and his classmate Sasaki Mashiro, who are from different generations but somehow get along together. Hassei and his friends spend their days casually rehearsing with the ballet company during the day and teaching at a ballet class at night, but one day on the way home, a problem occurs. After that, Hassei makes a shocking confession: "I'm quitting ballet at the end of this year." Why did Hassei decide to "quit"? The curtain rises on Hassei's "last year facing ballet," who loves ballet more than anyone else.
