Synopsis

Sorata Kanda gets transferred to Suimei High's Sakura-sou dorm, basically a dumping ground for the school's worst troublemakers. His plan is simple: get out as fast as possible. But stuck there for now, he's forced to navigate life with his chaotic roommates—Misaki, an energetic animator; Jin, a smooth-talking writer; and Ryuunosuke, who barely leaves his room. The only sane person around is Nanami Aoyama, an aspiring voice actress who becomes his lifeline. Everything changes when Mashiro Shiina, a foreign exchange student, moves in. Sorata's instantly drawn to her, but there's more to Mashiro than her striking looks. She's an artistic genius with an incredible gift, but she can't handle basic everyday stuff—turns out she's autistic and needs constant help. When Sorata becomes her caretaker, they start getting closer, and his dream of escaping the dorm suddenly doesn't matter anymore. The thing is, everyone in Sakura-sou is genuinely talented at something. Everyone except Sorata. Surrounded by all this brilliance, he starts feeling the pressure to find his own passion and skill up somehow. The series follows this cast through their ups and downs as they chase their dreams, fall in love, and deal with real failure. It's ultimately a story about ordinary people trying to find their place among the extraordinary.
