Now that Hinako decided to make her own theater troupe, how will she accomplish this?

In the first half, we learn more about Hinako and her shyness. It seems that she has a hard time communicating with strangers. As a result of her shyness, she becomes a scarecrow of some sort.

The funny thing is that she is good at talking to animals. The farmer couple decided to give her vegetables as payment. I have to admit it’s funny to see her mother’s reaction to her daughter bringing home vegetables, especially while wearing a costume. Yes, she had to share it over social media, which is funny and cute.

With one of the child actor is sick, Chiaki did a stand-in. As expected, she was nervous. Thankfully she got better. Her father, turns to music and managing apartments after that incident.

Eventually, the girls plan what job Hinako will do. As expected, Hinako won’t be able become a waitress or tend the bookshop given her shyness. In other words, this is where the theater troupe comes in with Hinako being the leader of it. They eventually settle it on naming the group as Hitotose Troupe.

With that, they eventually plan where they should start. After looking at a magazine, they decide to make performing at the Suzuran their goal. Will they make it? We’ll see as the story unfolds.
