He is a member of the Spring Troupe and the second actor to join the Mankai Company. He falls in love with Izumi at first sight while watching her act in a street performance. Masumi himself has no motivation for acting on his own, and his only reason to join was to get close to the Director and to be praised by her. His interactions with everyone else are mostly rude, so he is deemed as a troublemaker. Despite that, his sense and line memorization ability really stands out.

Mankai Company is a far cry from its glory days as an all-male theater. With only one member left and debt collectors at the door, it’s no wonder Izumi Tachibana finds herself in over her head when she boldly confronts the yakuza’s loan sharks, promising to bring her father’s theater back into the spotlight. She might be able to recruit enough talent, but can they bloom into the actors she needs?

To find her missing father, Tachibana Izumi goes to search for him at the Mankai Company Theatre he once worked at as the director. What she finds there, however, is the theatre group burdened with a huge sum of debt, just one young actor, and no success worthy of mention. To save the theatre group her father had loved so dearly, Izumi has to become the new director and re-establish the four troupes: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter; and lead the theatre group to success.
 
This manga follows the story of the second troupe, the Summer Troupe (Natsu-gumi).
