She struggles with a speech impediment, specifically finding it difficult to pronounce words starting with vowels when speaking in front of others. This condition has left her feeling isolated, making it hard to form connections and get along with her peers.

Her solitary high school experience takes an unexpected turn when she encounters Kayo. Kayo has a deep love for music, even though she is tone-deaf herself. Despite their contrasting personalities and Kayo's own musical challenge, the two form an unlikely bond. Inspired by their shared need for expression, they make a bold decision: to start a band together. As Shino embarks on this musical journey with Kayo, the process of creating and performing music becomes a powerful catalyst for change.
