A city boy moves out to the sticks and befriends a local gal who shows him the true beauty of Hokkaido. The hit manga that inspired an anime—finally available in English in multi-volume omnibus releases!
As soon as sixteen-year-old Shiki Tsubasa from Tokyo steps out of his cab and into the bone-chilling temperatures of Kitami, Hokkaido, he’s hit with a wave of culture shock…or maybe it’s just hypothermia? But his frosty welcome takes a warmer turn when he meets Fuyuki Minami, a carefree gal who struts through the snow in bare legs without a second thought. Lucky for Shiki, she’s his guide to all the quirky wonders of Hokkaido—like sugar on corn dogs, snow huts, the best slopes for skiing, and maybe… even more adorable Hokkaido babes? This city boy may think he’s seen it all, but he’s about to realize how much he has yet to discover!
