It is November, and the hot springs town of Yomase-machi is already buried in snow. Yuuki has moved there to help his aging grandparents shovel out after each storm, staying at their former boarding house, Yamanouchi-sou. Among the people he meets are Sayuki—a shrine maiden who struggles with greeting strangers despite wanting to connect with them—his mysterious, playful housemate and senpai Mizuki, and Koharu, an energetic young regular at the local café. Feeling somewhat adrift in the snowy landscape, Yuuki settles into the rhythms of the town. His grandfather, watching, suggests that the time to look for love is when you are still young.
