Pony Canyon describes the anime:
First-year high school student, Uta Komaki.

She has many weaknesses.
But she loves to sing.

Aiming for an ordinary youth,
she tries to join the light music club as part of her high school debut—
only to fail miserably due to her timid nature.

In her despair, Uta encounters
a form of music created solely by the human voice—a cappella.

There, she finds a group of girls whose imperfect youth
is woven together only through their harmonized voices.

—Even without shining, it's still youth.

The anime stars:

The cast for the new group Parabola includes:

Takuya Satō (Strawberry Marshmallow, Steins;Gate) is the executive director, and Kiyoto Nakajima (episode director for Villainess Level 99, Narenare -Cheer for you!-) is the series director at Jumondo. Chisato Kikunaga (Don't Hurt Me, My Healer!) and Hitomi Kaiho (Villainess Level 99) are designing the characters.

Pony Canyon and game creator Takuya Yamanaka conceived the original concept, and Yamanaka is also writing the scripts. Che-Rico is credited for the original character design. Pony Canyon is producing the music.

The project launched in April 2022 with the themes of "a cappella," "high school girls," and "complex." The story of six high school girls coming of age through a cappella music has already spawned voice drama stories, music videos (in which the characters' voice actresses themselves try their hand at a cappella) and documentary videos featuring their lessons.

Update: Takuya Yamanaka's credit corrected. Thanks, GrollenKette951.
