Premise
Teenager Tsubasa Shiki moves from Tokyo to the city of Kitami in Hokkaido. On arrival he meets his classmate and native '' gal'' Minami Fuyuki, who takes a liking to the city boy and takes him under her wing. Finding her unlike any other girl he has met before, Tsubasa finds himself drawn to this Hokkaido ''gal''.Characters
; : :A 16-year-old transfer student from Tokyo, who has no experience with girls and was considered lame in his hometown. Despite initially telling himself that she is not his type and that her actions are immoral, he finds Minami's forwardness enticing and is genuinely appreciative that she decided to become his friend and help him adjust to life in Hokkaido. ; : :Tsubasa's 16-year-old classmate at Kitami Hokuryo High School, who is popular and talkative. She follows the ''gal'' subculture; dyeing her hair blonde, wearing short skirts in winter, and refusing to wear gloves in the winter so that she can still use her phone. She seems to have a crush on Tsubasa and enjoys flirting with him to make him embarrassed and flustered. ; :Tsubasa and Minami's classmate who, with her raven-hair, reserved personality and choice not to use the Hokkaido dialect, is the exact opposite of Minami. She is very into video games, but pays attention to her appearance; reading fashion and make-up magazines in order to fit in. Because she sweats a lot, Sayuri avoided all forms of exercise, which eventually found her avoiding people in general. Because she has no friends, Sayuri felt a kinship with Tsubasa, and she becomes friends with him and Minami. ; :Tsubasa's neighbor and '' senpai'' or upperclassman one grade above him, whom Minami idolizes. She has short white-gray hair and is believed to be mixed-race. Rena is a history buff and at the top of her class academically but is really timid, even though she has also won the school beauty contest two years in a row. She offers to tutor Tsubasa and asks him to take her on a date in exchange. ; :Sayuri's childhood friend and underclassman one grade below her. A member of the swim team, she is athletic and has short hair and a dark complexion. Asuka tries to support Sayuri and her romantic feelings for Tsubasa as much as she can. ; :Asuka's friend and classmate who calls herself Minami's biggest fan. She has long hair and wears big glasses. Having gone to the same middle school as Minami, she is obsessed with her as she resembles her favorite fictional character. Hina follows Minami on the internet and thoroughly researches everything around her, including Tsubasa.Production
