La Medusa Non Sa Nuotare Nella Notte (2024)

During middle school, Mahiru Kouzuki loved painting more than anything else. One day, she was allowed to put up one of her works, which depicted a giant jellyfish, as a mural in her town under the pseudonym Yoru. However, her friends didn’t like the picture, and as Mahiru was afraid of swimming against the tide, she gave up painting and endeavoured to avoid attracting attention as much as possible.

A few years later, she overhears a girl of the same age defending her painting and even calling it her favourite. Mahiru follows her and is surprised to discover that the girl is Kano Yamanouchi, who used to be Nonoka Tachibana, the leader of the idol group Sunflower Dolls, who had to leave the group due to a scandal. She now makes music under the name Jelee and hopes to convince Mahiru of her project and hire her as an artist.

Together with Kim Anouk Mei Takanashi, Nonoka’s biggest fan and only friend from her idol days, and V-tuber Kiui Watase, the two try to express their feelings through music and art and, above all, to prove to themselves that it is worth fighting for their individuality.
