Plot

Those that use "voice medicine," the ability to heal injuries and cure illnesses with song, are called "healers." There are three apprentice healers working at the Karasuma Voice Treatment Center. Kana Fujii, an energetic girl who sets the tone, the strong-willed lady Reimi Itsushiro, and Hibiki Morishima who is caring but firm. These three first year high school girls are training after school to become full-fledged Healers. With the addition of Sonia Yanagi, a returnee who is a certified C-level healer, the girls are singing songs of healing as they work towards their dreams.[1]

Characters

A healer apprentice of Karasuma, Kana decided to become a healer after she had an asthma attack on a plane and a healer helped her recover. Kana has innate talent but sometimes struggles with technical skills and knowledge.
  • Hibiki is an apprentice healer along with Kana and Reimi. She is related to her teacher Karasuma, who comes to stay with Hibiki's large family in the country in the summer. She always loved to sing as a child and decided to become a healer when her elementary school music teacher encouraged her. She lives with Karasuma in the clinic.
  • Like Kana and Hibiki, Reimi is an apprentice of Karasuma, whom she idolizes. Reimi's parents are successful opera singers who live overseas. She lives with Aoi, a part-time maid and music student, who has become like a big sister to Reimi.
  • She is a first-year high school student at the same school as Kana. She is a skilled healer who has already obtained a C-level healer certification through an overseas skipping class system. For some reason, she sees Ria, a renowned genius healer, as her rival.[2]
  • She is the granddaughter of Honosaka Healing Center. She is a childhood friend of Sonia's and aspires to become a "sonic musician" who composes healing music.[3]
  • The mentor to Kana, Hibiki, and Reimi, who refer to her as shishō (mistress), Ria is a skilled and renowned healer who runs her own clinic and is known as "The Witch of KMU". Ria has a medical license but left the practice of Western medicine shortly after attaining it to become a music healer. She also conducts research on music healing, hoping to advance the field.
  • She is a pharmacist working at Karasuma Voice Therapy Clinic. She has known Ria since their school days, and is a friendly person who does not hesitate to treat everyone with open arms.[4]
