Episode 1 starts with featuring Amamiya, the main protagonist of the series, as she joins the high school. As she is entering the school premises, she is wondering if she will pick up anything from high school, as she didn't find anything of interest in her middle school. As she enters the school, she notices a girl with a camera catching her attention, who was later revealed as Makinohara, the president of the school's photography club.

Amamiya becomes disheartened with Makinohara leaving and is seen constantly sulking under the table in the club room. Upon witnessing this, An, her best friend and fellow club member, pushes Amamiya to get back into photography as the club will dissolve unless.

Two weeks later, when An enters the club room, she finds Amamiya again sulking under the table, only this time feeling scammed after winning a camera in the auction and it never arriving. An finds out the address is near their school and both visit it, only to find out it was a sweet shop. There, they meet Haruno Akiyama, a mangaka who apologizes and hands them the camera.

The episode then follows all three of them as they go to the Yamanashi Prefectural Science Centre to snap a nightscape of the city, upon agreeing to Haruno's request of becoming models for her next manga. There, Amamiya discovers how to film timelapses, and the three eventually go home, only to continue their adventure later.
