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 skiin...

It's summertime in Hokkaido and Tsubasa is looking forward to festivals, fireworks, and hanging out with his new friends. But one of his friends has something to confess to him, and she's waiting for the perfect opportunity--right when the fireworks go off. How will Tsubasa react, especially if she's not the only one scheming to make a confession?

Shiki Tsubasa's first winter in Kitami is coming to an end, and despite Hokkaido's freezing temperatures, it's starting to feel like home. So it comes as a shock when he's told that if he ranks below the top ten students in his grade in the final exams, he'll be sent back to Tokyo. If only there were another gorgeous Hokkaido gal who could tutor him, but what are the odds of that?
