JAZZ-ON!

JAZZ-ON! is a new project created by Akatsuki and Plus 81, with character designs by Hazuki Futaba.

While there isn’t a lot of information out at the moment, any further information can be found on the official Twitter (@jazzon_official). The official site can also be found here.

Story:
The setting is Yokohama. The season is spring.

Due to a school merger, Minatogaoka High School has two jazz clubs that were taken over from their now defunct schools.

The first is “SwingCATS,” a classic Jazz performance club. The second is “Hoshikuzu Ryodan (Stardust Brigade),” a club that enjoys Anisong Jazz.

On that day, the two clubs with different values and ideas for Jazz become aware of each other, and the story begins…
