The Utagoe wa Mille-Feuille anime adaptation was first announced in 2023 during its “UtaMilu Event Vol. 1 ~happy to sing~,” event for the music-themed mixed-media project. The project was created in 2022 by Pony Canyon and Takuya Yamanaka of The Oral Cigarettes. The theme for the project is a group of high schoolers doing acapella music performances.
The plot for Harmony of Mille-Feuille anime is described as follows:
You don’t have to shine to have youth.
First-year high school student Uta Komaki loves to sing, but she’s extremely shy, timid, and a bit of a coward. She wants to join the light music club for her high school debut, but she’s too intimidated by the dazzling presence of the members to submit her application.
In her moment of despair, she receives an invitation to join the a cappella club from the president, Airi Kojo…
The a cappella club is filled with unique individuals—some might say they’re a bit odd. Even if they’re not flashy or popular, there’s a special kind of youth that connects through their voices, creating something truly unique.
