It has been described as a "slow outdoor manga," and it features the story of two young girls, Rin and Nadeshiko. Rin is the kind of person who prefers camping by herself along the lakes from where she can indulge in the scenic view of Mt. Fuji. On the other hand, Nadeshiko is the kind of girl who takes cycling trips by herself in places where she can see Mt. Fuji.
Their first meeting will eventually lead to more camping trips, where they will usually spend time eating cup ramen while enjoying the scenery together.
Yoshiaki Kyougoku is directing the series for the Japanese animation studio, C-Station. Series composition will be handled by Jin Tanaka, while Mutsumi Sasaki takes charge of the character designs.
The opening theme song titled "SHINY DAYS" will be performed by Asaka and the ending theme titled "Fuyu Biyori" will be performed by Eri Sasaki. Both songs' CD single has been scheduled to be released on Jan. 24.
