Saint Girls Square Academy, also known as Garugaku, is a prestigious school dedicated to nurturing young girls with aspirations of becoming professional star performers. Admission to this institution is granted only to those who successfully pass nationwide auditions. Students at Garugaku aspire to perform at the Girls Arena, a renowned stage that serves as a launching pad for future professional careers. However, only one team can take the spotlight on this stage. Last year, three teams - East2 (Yuzuha, Toa & Ran), West2 (Momoka & Minami), and South2 (Misaki, Youka, Kurea & Kira) - merged to form Girls2 after a memorable live performance. Subsequently, West2 traveled to Asia and South2 to the United States to hone their skills, while East2 remained at the academy and took over the student council. As for Girls2, the principal assigned them a challenging graduation examination task to prepare them for their major debut. The nature of this assignment remains a mystery!

The emergence of the Fourth Industrial Revolution has ushered in a new era of advanced technologies that are reshaping the world at a rapid pace. In response, educational institutions are integrating these innovations into their programs, moving away from traditional methods. Yuyu Girls' Vocational High School is one such school that has embraced this shift, attracting applicants like Serufu Yua and her childhood friend, Miku "Purin" Suride. While Purin, with her tech proficiency, gains acceptance to Yuyu High, Serufu, known for her clumsiness, ends up at the conventional Gatagata Girls' High School, causing a strain on their friendship. Following a bike accident, Serufu crosses paths with Rei Yasaku, a fellow student who comes to her aid and repairs her damaged bicycle. Serufu discovers that Rei has a passion for traditional crafts and leads the school's DIY Club, which is facing closure due to low membership. Seeing an opportunity to mend her friendship with Purin, Serufu decides to join the club, hoping to collaborate on projects that could bring them back together. As the DIY Club attracts new members, Serufu not only hones her crafting skills but also forges new connections and friendships along the way.
