Synopsis of Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable!
After moving from Tokyo to Hokkaido, high school student Tsubasa Shiki decides to explore the picturesque winter scenery he never got to experience in the country’s capital. It only takes a moment for Tsubasa’s idealized vision of Japan’s northernmost prefecture to crumble as the cold, frigid air quickly overwhelms him. While trying to find his way to his new home, Tsubasa stumbles upon Minami Fuyuki, a talkative and friendly Hokkaido native who, despite the cold, is wearing a short skirt. The girl wastes no time in striking up a conversation, and Tsubasa realizes that the winter weather isn’t too much for him.
The next day, Tsubasa is shocked to learn that not only is Fuyuki in his class, but her seat is right next to his. Swept away by Fuyuki's persistent advances, the young boy soon finds himself captivated by both life in Hokkaido and the beautiful girl determined to get close to him. As he deepens his relationship with Fuyuki and meets other fashionable girls from his school, Tsubasa discovers that the girls of Hokkaido are actually quite adorable.
