Synopsis

City boy Tsubasa Shiki has just moved from Tokyo out to the sticks in Hokkaido—and right in the middle of winter! Despite being dressed in many, many layers, Tsubasa is quick to find the blistering cold inescapable and unbearable. Stumbling around trying to find his way, Tsubasa makes a beautiful discovery: A Hokkaido Gal, buxom but barely covered in the freezing weather! Minami Fuyuki is a Hokkaido local who takes an immediate interest in Tsubasa, wanting him to tell her all about city life. Tsubasa tries to resist falling for the blonde beauty—after all, he's supposed to be into prim, proper, raven-haired girls!—but there's no resisting Minami's electric and boisterous personality.

But will his strict grandmother also be able to appreciate her charms, or will Tsubasa be forced to part ways with his first Hokkaido friend?

I liked the anime, and I'm basically looking for a good Gyaru story and I think this was good.

The only negative thing I have with this is that the father, main character and their daughter have pretty much the same setup...but it didn't spoil anything. In fact!

I liked how the story ended with rivals. The two main characters got almost 30 chapters of time with each other and with their family, which I appreciated, and the extra chapter at the end with their daughter deserves special credit.

I have no complaints with the story.. it didn't try to overcomplicate it like most harems do. The main ...

Mixed Feelings

Well-written

Preliminary (92/? eps)

First off, I am still a huge fan of the Oneshot and first some chapters of this manga, rating both of them 10/10. My initial review for the serialization was a deserved 3/10. More on that below. Now, ...

THE MADMAN (author) DID IT. Turned a solid 3/10 into a good 6/10 before it ends by pretending that ~30 chapters never happened. What a turn of tables. It was around chapter 90 when the author realized what a hot pile of dogshit they created. The "story" and "characters" make no sense anymore. There is no endgame. THANK GOD, randomly, in the midst of an "arc", literally ... mid sentence, we get a clear cut- Huge timeskip and Fuyuki is a whole different character again. Same with Tsubasa. So much (important-)stuff got pulled out of thin air from off-screen with zero foreshadowing and sense to then be resolved off-screen in an instant. The cut is pretty harsh and it is clear that the author did not know how to proceed anymore, it was a tangled mess. It was quite honestly embarrassing to read at times so acting like it all never happened was the correct choice. The senpai will forever be some of the worst writing in a shounen romance manga but whatever.

This isn't 100% garbage but it can objectively not be rated higher than a 7 (the whole senpai arc...). I recommend reading the first some chapters and a skip straight to around 90. This is not a joke. There is no real character or story development that is worth reading 80 chapters for. You will get the same thing without having to see the author forget about who his own characters are at times, characters turning bipolar randomly, minor characters randomly being majorly important for something they did off-screen 30 chapters ago and some of the worst ass-pull "story"telling ever. Again, this is not a joke. It makes this whole thing a better experience.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, my initial rating was a deserved 3/10. It is the author's first published work. The Oneshot was great. The start of the series was, too. But everything went downhill fast. I do not blame the author (first work) entirely. It could've been an editor (most probably) pushing the author in the wrong direction.

The manga instantly turns into a Harem. This is a non-issue for me. Fuyuki and Tsubasa are still really enjoyable as characters at this point. Until one or two "arcs" into the series. Even if students, all characters behave like unreasonable 5 year olds randomly. Whole relationships randomly change around. Characters behave differently. There is timeskips everywhere. HUGELY IMPORTANT PLOT happens off-screen (HOLY SHIT THE ASSPULL "STORYTELLING"). The author is abusing his characters, straight up. The story is turning in circles but not really because characters, their mental and happenings get teleported around and circle around somewhere else randomly. Every 3 chapters you gotta ask yourself "who are these characters?", "what is happening?", "why are we back in school suddenly?", "This character that was mentioned once fleetingly suddenly is major and did something REALLY important off-screen and 20 chapters ago (the Senpai)".

Preliminary (111/? eps)

The very obvious and glaring problem with this manga is that it has no other purpose or goal other than working as a glorified travel brochure for Hokkaido. Every single thing —from the characters, to the romance, to the conflicts— is mediated by the necessity of, at some point, inserting a scene that goes like "look at how cool this tourist attraction is!". Initially, it's not much of an issue: you, as a critical reader might realize that the characters are as bland as a fictional water flavored ice cream; this is because none of the characters are written with the purpose of exploring a ...
