Six prodigies attend Kanezono Academy of Music, each with a mysterious past and a “color” tied to their soul’s melody. The story follows Ren Hayami, a withdrawn violinist who hasn’t played since his sister’s suicide. On his first day, he hears her melody echoing through the old concert hall—played perfectly by a girl he’s never met.
Soon, Ren and the other students are drawn into the “Symphony of Souls”, a ritual that binds their emotions to music. Every performance drains something from them—memories, feelings, or fragments of life itself. To graduate, they must each compose their Final Piece, but the truth is grim: only one can complete it, and the rest will vanish into their own unfinished songs.

Haru had begun to experience fleeting visions—faces of the vanished students, flickering in the corners of her mind. Their auras whispered, barely audible, warning of the dangers ahead.


Ema touched her shoulder gently. "You feel them because you're tied to the melody. But it's not just a warning… it's guidance. Listen carefully. They want you to survive."


Ren nodded. "Every note we play now… it matters more than ever. The academy's hunger grows with every measure."


A faint hum filled the chamber. Threads of crimson, silver, and emerald danced across the walls like ribbons of light. The stage beneath Kanezono Academy was alive, and it had taken notice of their progress.
