In the late Meiji Period, as Japan undergoes the process of modernization, Mone Hoshino is a student at an all-girls private high school in Tokyo, where she lives with her male guardian.

Although she must face a bit of drama concerning her choices, the friends Mone makes help her hone her talents and give her inspiration as the take her on adventures around town.
