When Sawako goes away to university after high school graduation, her relationship with Kazehaya will need to withstand the distance as well as their ties to their close group of high school friends.

Kazehaya and Sawako support each other as Sawako figures out where she will go to university and Kazehaya deals with his overbearing father and ill mother.

It’s been one year since Sawako and Kazehaya confessed their love to each other. With their last high school festival approaching, Sawako gives it her all to make it the best one ever. Meanwhile, Kazehaya seems to be overworking himself…

With Kazehaya attending a college near home and Sawako applying for school in Sapporo, the couple realize they are running out of high school days to be together and they separately wonder whether they'll stay together past graduation.

Sawako is thrilled when Chizu and Ayane invite her to with them to the shrine on New Year's Eve, her birthday, not knowing they plan to leave her alone with Kazehaya-kun.

On a field trip to Okinawa, while their friends are otherwise distracted, Sawako and Kazehaya find themselves alone and may take their relationship to the next level.

When the new student, Kento, shows interest in Sawako, Kazehaya tries to tell Sawako that he has feelings for her, but Sawako misunderstands what he is saying. Sawako needs to gain the confidence to confess her own feelings to resolve the situation.

Sawako and her friends dish the details of their very special Christmas Eves when everyone converges at her house for an impromptu party.

Now that Sawako and Kazehaya have confessed their true feelings to one another, Sawako is afraid her rival Kurumi will try to steal Kazehaya from her and vows to do whatever it takes to protect their relationship.
