Sound! Euphonium

After starting at Kitauji High School, Kumiko Oumae wants to leave her middle school baggage behind. That plan quickly unravels when new friends Sapphire Kawashima and Hazuki Katou pull her into the concert band, putting a euphonium back in her hands and returning her to a world she hoped to step away from.

Kitauji’s band is in rough shape, struggling to even make it to the local Sunfest, much less aim for nationals. Their new advisor, Noboru Taki, forces a decision between a casual club atmosphere and serious, demanding practice toward competition. As Kumiko hesitates—afraid of repeating past regrets—she discovers that Reina Kousaka, a former bandmate with whom she shared a strained history, is also part of the ensemble. With Taki’s strict guidance raising the stakes, Kumiko and her fellow musicians must face their individual challenges and learn to move forward as a group.
