Hanayamata

Synopsis: At the age of 14, high school student Nari Sekiya discovers that she pale compared to the fairytale princesses she loves so much, not to mention the ideal girl she wants to contrast with her colleagues. His childhood friend Yaya Sasame is having fun with her school rock band, while her other childhood friend Tami Nishimikado is a member of the Student Council. Wishing strength to take the next step, Naru wanted a magic key to open her shy heart since the beginning of high school.

For a moon -illuminated night, Naru finds what she believes is a cute fairy on a Torii gate that soon invites her to dance with her. The next day, she discovers that the "fairy" was not only an ordinary girl, but also a high school transfer student in America! Excited to find Naru again, Hana N. Fountainstand encourages her to help him start a club for Yosakoi, a festive type of Japanese dance that Hana has been enchanted since childhood.

Although initially terrified of Hana's enthusiasm and the thought of being seen dancing, Naru slowly is immersed in Yosakoi's art and helping her new friend to achieve her dream - along the way to a maiden as she is at the mercy of the wind!
