Plot

During the 1950s, Japan experienced a circus boom in response to its booming economy, with circuses around the country aiming to be part of the prestigious Circus Collection festival. The Himawari Circus is one such circus, but has been suffering from financial issues. Things change when Mizuka Tsurumaki joins the Himawari Circus, with her arrival bringing optimism to the circus and boosting their drive to make it to Circus Collection.
