Tenshi, also known as Danbocchi, is a former choir boy that loves singing, although he is afraid of singing in front of people. After singing alone for a long time and settling into a stress-free academic life, Haruo Hibiki an ex-conductor discovers Tenshi's talent while building a boys choir to restore his name. Tenshi and others reluctantly join the boys choir. Under the peculiar guidance of Hibiki, Danbocchi is rapidly overcoming his fears.
