Girlish Number

A certain event for the release of a certain anime in a certain city on a certain day. The two lead cast members, Sono Momoka and Shibasaki Kazuha, performed on stage, while an ambitious costar admired them from a distance. Her name was Karasuma Chidori, a newbie voice actor who had yet to become popular and still had a lot to learn. Though she was passionate, she didn't try very hard and she was constantly given mob roles, so she was feeling some danger concerning her job security. However one day, Chidori is given an unexpected opportunity!

Chitose gets a big head when she finds out she got a huge role, even before she starts the job. However, the project is in some hot water because of some mix ups involving the production and the author, but she has no idea and is on cloud nine and heads to a meeting and sees two other girls there, her colleague, Yae, and her senpai, Katakura Koto. They suddenly find out that they're supposed to form a unit and have a CD debut...

The after recording sessions for the anime Chitose starts in finally starts. Yae and Koto seem nervous, but Chitose goes about the recording sessions with the wrong idea. However, her confidence is soon torn down. When she tries to do the part the way she thinks is okay, she can't get an OK, and she can't seem to get the requests from the staff right. Chitose realizes that she doesn't know what she's supposed to do, or what's wanted from her, and goes to the popular voice actress, Momoka, for help.

A screening event for the first episode of an anime that Chitose is starring in has arrived. Chitose and the other four girls would be appearing and talking, singing, and showing the first episode. Momoka and Kazuha had done a number of these events, so they seem calm. Meanwhile, the remaining three are filled with anticipation and nervousness... or so they thought. While Yae and Koto seem nervous, Chitose seems pretty relaxed in the green room, as she had no problem falling asleep...

Chitose is extremely satisfied with how the CD for the opening song they recorded as a group is doing. She gets a big head once again, and even wears a disguise to go check out the display at an anime shop. Meanwhile, Yae and Koto actually don't seem nearly as enthused. Unlike Chitose, who hadn't been watching the completed episodes on TV, the two had been watching it, and couldn't help but feel conflicted. Next, it was decided that the voice actresses would do a fan event, but...

In order to record some bonus footage for the physical release of Kusure, Chitose and the others arrive in Okinawa. The staff that came along are acting like this is some kind of vacation, and Chitose can't help but feel carefree as well. Meanwhile, Yae is rather nervous about her first swimsuit shoot, Koto can't hide her concerns about how badly the series is selling, Momoka is handling everything calmly as usual, and Kazuha was infuriated by the shoot. Later that night, the five gather in the banquet room and start to drink, and...
