Synopsis
Suzu is a 17-year old high school girl who lives in the countryside of Kochi Prefecture with her father, after losing her mother at a young age. She loved singing with her mother more than anything else, but as a result of her mother's death, she was no longer able to sing. It wasn't long before she and her father grew more and more distant from each other, and Suzu closed her heart to the rest of the world. When Suzu felt that writing music was her only purpose left in life, she then discovers the massive online space known as “U”, where she takes on her persona, Belle.
