L High is no ordinary school-no classes, no uniforms, not even a physical building. There is only free time, space to dream, and friends with their own ambitions.
Polka meets nine other girls who eventually form their own idol group. Together, they embark on a journey to realize their dreams, even without the formal experience of a traditional school.
