Cosmo used to be a thoroughbred horse that was once considered a great horse in the equestrian world, but was taken in by Sanbongi Agricultural High School after suffering from a left eye condition. Kanae struggles to take care of Cosmo, who has a left eye and is very proud. She is frustrated with Cosmo's refusal to listen to her, but one day she notices that the vision in Cosmo's left eye has deteriorated significantly. Kanae understands the suffering of Cosmo, who is blind, and takes care of him devotedly, and the two come to understand each other. Through Cosmo's birth, the death of her horse, and rigorous training, Kanae grows. The story becomes more vivid through her relationships with her strict advisor Mr. Koga ( Toshiro Yanagiba ), her senior Honoka ( Aki Nishihara ), her classmates Yoko ( Ayaka Morita ) and Kenji ( Satoshi Okumura ), and her junior Takahashi ( Yukichi Kobayashi ).
