BanG Dream!

As a child on a camping trip, Kasumi Toyama gazed up at a sky full of stars and felt a mysterious rhythm she later calls the “Star Beat.” The bright, heart-racing sensation stays with her for years, and she grows up determined to find that same spark again.

After enrolling at Hanasakigawa Girls’ High School, Kasumi throws herself into one activity after another—school clubs, even the idea of a part-time job—but nothing quite clicks. Everything changes when she discovers a star-shaped guitar tucked away in the storage room of an old pawn shop, leading her to a live house and her first real taste of live music. Swept up in the moment, she impulsively sets her sights on forming a band, taking on the challenges ahead alongside the new friends she meets in pursuit of that long-lost thrill.
