Synopsis of Girls Band Cry
The protagonist drops out of high school in the second year and aspires to enter university while working alone in Tokyo. A girl is betrayed by her friends and she doesn’t know what to do. Another girl is abandoned by her parents, and tries to survive in the city by doing part-time jobs. This world disappoints us all the time. Nothing goes as planned. But we want something that we still like. We believe there is a place where we belong. That’s why we sing.
