The story follows high school sophomore Arisu Yamabuki, who spent his younger years finding comfort in a late-night amateur radio broadcast hosted by an anonymous girl known only as “Apollo”. When Apollo abruptly disappeared without explanation, Arisu made it his life mission to track her down.

Armed with a single clue pointing toward his high school’s broadcasting club, Arisu joins the group. Instead of finding one host, he encounters four talented girls who each dream of building a career using their voices:

• Rikka Inohana (Voiced by Momoko Seto): An aspiring singer struggling to gain traction.
• Nene Himekawa (Voiced by Rumi Okubo): An ambitious student aiming to become a professional voice actress.
• Iko Kirino (Voiced by Sayumi Suzushiro): A streamer driven to become a top VTuber.
• Shinobu Uzuki (Voiced by Miku Itō): A determined girl training to become a TV announcer.

Determined to discover which of the four is Apollo, Arisu becomes their manager to help each girl achieve her dream while unraveling the mystery behind his favorite broadcast.
