Synopsis
City boy Sousuke transfers to rural school, reunites with cousin Minori in comedic slice-of-life adventures.
Sousuke, a city boy with an overactive imagination, finds himself transferred to a quiet countryside high school after some questionable behavior. Living with his aunt, he's surprised to discover his childhood cousin Minori is now working at the school. As Sousuke tries to adjust to rural life and navigate his new surroundings, he begins to realize that reconnecting with family and making a fresh start might be more complicated than he expected. This comedic slice-of-life story follows Sousuke's misadventures as he attempts to fit in at his new school while dealing with the challenges of adolescence and unexpected reunions.
