Introduction

Fubuki, Mafuyu, Rin, and Nayuta are four 19-year-old girls practicing hard to reach their goal of becoming comedians. On top of working day and night, the girls dream of bringing smiles to people’s faces and one day standing on the stage all Japanese comedians dream of — Namba Grand Kagetsu! However, the girls are trying to keep it more realistic and aim to perform at a closer place, which is the smallest stage of the Mugendai Hall in Tokyo’s Shibuya. The girls also have some rivals and we follow the daily struggle of eight people in four groups!
