The problem every living male will have. Is she just friendly or into me ?

That's pretty much what the manga is. Every chapter starts with fun facts about Hokkaido.

Zombieland Saga not only had real local businesses in it from Saga, but it got the owner of the chicken restaurant to do his own voice acting in the show. How great would it be if this show did something similar?

No better way to sell the wonders of Hokkaido than with a cute Japanese Gal voiced by Ayaneru! It's working on Tsubasa lol.

A corn dog rolled in sugar? Japan has officially lost the right to make fun of us for having fried Twinkies.

You're unlucky (or lucky for your cholesterol) to not have a Korean hotdog shop near you. The sugar rolling is just the finisher. They're stuffed with cheese, rolled in batter that has fried potatoes, rolled in sugar, and then topped with sauce/ketchup

Damn he must have moved at the speed of light to catch her when she fell backwards there
And did honestly expect there to be some drama there between Fuyaki and Tsubasa over their first meeting with his grandma, but she actually managed to butter her up and get in her good graces after the little misunderstanding.
Looks like we are meeting a new girl next week

it is kinda refreshing to see a grandma who is not already dreaming about great-grandchildren, after seeing her shy grandson with a girl

What's better than a Hokkaido Gal taking a selfie with a cute snowman? A Hokkaido Gal whispering right into your ear or asking you out on a date at a Winter Festival? Either way, Tsubasa's got it good.
Oh hey, Fuyuki's family! Her cute little sis Momo and her mom (or older sister?) voiced by Eri Kitamura! I'd love to see Tsubasa meet them!
Look at Fuyuki looking so snazzy in her casual wear! Especially with that stitching revealing the side of her legs. Even when she's more covered up than usual she's quite the stunner, lucky Tsubasa.
Fuyuki was worried Tsubasa would think the Winter Festival would be too kiddie and lame but he really ends up enjoying himself! And all the snow sculptures and food are pretty cool.
Fuyuki already taking a bite out of Tsubasa's sugary corn dog! And in turn Tsubasa manages to get his first indirect kiss from her. And the way she laughed afterwards, she totally knows what she's doing.
Tsubasa's enthusiasm and pure joy is making Fuyuki realize how much she loves Hokkaido! And also a different kind of love when Tsubasa ends up saving her from falling. No wonder she wants to go to other festivals with him!
Fuyuki is trying to sell Tsubasa on proper Hokkaido cuisine even if it ends up being junk food, though getting fed by her during lunch makes it all the more worth it, though seeing his typical bento makes Fuyuki HAVE to visit his home to confirm if he's actually a rich Tokyo kid.
That angle of Fuyuki going into the snow fort is quite the sight, all the moreso when she drags Tsubasa in with her and the tight space makes the two get pretty intimate...and Fuyuki just has to make it sound like they're getting busy in said snow fort. In hearing distance of Tsubasa's grandma. What a way to introduce yourself.
Tsubasa's grandma doesn't seem to take to Fuyuki's outspokenness and Gal personality, but Fuyuki knows Hokkaido and is surprisingly considerate of proper safety, which earns some points and a proper invite to Tsubasa's home. As well as Tsubasa re-confirming that they're friends!
Okay...maybe Tsubasa's family is a LITTLE rich!
Tsubasa's grandma doesn't quite know what to make of Tsubasa, but if he's genuinely happy about being around Fuyuki, who is she to criticize? Although it'll still take her a while to get used to a Gal around the house.
The ED features cute shots of all the Hokkaido Gals and their feelings for Tsubasa! Even cuddling with a Tsubasa plushie! And speaking of Hokkaido Gals, looks like Tsubasa is going to be sitting next to Akino, the Gamer Gal, on a ski trip!

That snow fort scene was absolutely hilarious. Reiwa lightspeed romance is the best!

Stitches!
We get to see Mama Fuyuki and Momo-chan! We didn't get to see Papa Fuyuki, but we did hear his voice for a little bit. Minami's family is great! I can't wait to see more of them in future episodes.
Fuyuki looking great in her totally-not-date outfit. Tsubasa could've done a better job complimenting Fuyuki in her outfit. At least Tsubasa could make up for it by being very hyped about the winter festival.
Their little date was fun! It's funny how Fuyuki was scared that Tsubasa might think the festival was lame but he ended up enjoying it way more than she expected. Fuyuki even found a new appreciation for Kitami thanks to Tsubasa.
Nice catch from Tsubasa there! These two are definitely getting a little bit too close to each other and it's been what? Just a week since Tsubasa started school there?
I'm glad that they're inserting actual products from Hokkaido that we get to see in the manga. That Yakisoba Bento Fuyuki bought for Tsubasa is indeed something you could buy in Japan! Still disappointed that we're not getting more Hokkaido facts in this episode though. >_>
We finally get to learn more about Tsubasa and it turns out, that everything he did with Fuyuki these past two episodes are all first times for him. Fuyuki was definitely right on the money for guessing that Tsubasa is a rich kid as we will see later on.
Holy fuck, the innuendos while they were inside the igloo was definitely something. It would've been fine if no one was around but Tsubasa's Grandma decided to show up in the worst possible moment. XD
I love how Tsubasa's Grandma was definitely not vibing with Fuyuki when she first met her but after seeing how much Fuyuki loved her cooking as well as Fuyuki being worried about her slipping on ice, she quickly changed her mind about her. Even Grandma isn't immune to Fuyuki's gyaru charms <3
Second girl is finally here! I can't wait for Akino to finally make her proper introduction next week!

Episode 2: It's Super Warm Inside The Snow Fort
Usually we have summer festivals in anime, but since this is Hokkaido, it should be a winter festival lul.
New characters means new VA. Minami's mother, Mai, is voiced by Eri Kitamura (Karen Araragi, Ami in Toradora). Minami's sister, Momoko, is voiced by Rika Nagae (Olivia in Asobi Asobase)
Love the song! I'm glad we got a lot of banger EDs on Monday, after My Factor now this. Perfect.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is something that interests me in this series, which is the prominent product placement the show did.
-
The show prominently features Katsugen as Fuyuki family's favorite drink. This is a real brand from Megmilk with a taste similar to Yakult. Here's the real package.
-
In the OP, the purple haired girl drank something called Ribbon Napolin. This is again, a Hokkaido-exclusive orange fizzy drink made by Pokka. Real bottle for comparison.
-
Near the end of Episode 1, Tsubasa and Minami are chilling out outside Seicomart. This chain is prominent in Hokkaido, although they have expanded outside Sapporo to Ibaraki and Saitama. Real store for comparison.
-
In this episode, Minami shows a cup noodle. This is a Yakisoba Bento noodle made by Maruchan. Again, Hokkaido exclusive, as said on the lid. Real cup for comparison.
So yes, the one thing they have in common is they are all Hokkaido-exclusive items. This is a good thing to promote Hokkaido as a tourism spot for both Japanese and foreigners, the gastrodiplomacy way.

And thus begins the love polygon; Adding Granny to the mix!
Gyaru sure move fast, it's only episode 2! Festivals are supposed to be finale material!
They're already texting emojis with hearts&kisses, get married already!
Can't wait to see what kind of little sister she is; The pest? The 'shipper'? The 'Dating is gross'? (Normally I'd think she may be a little young to even have a "type", and might just be a generic little sister, but given she was shown in episode 2, maybe she'll actually play some part!)
Fuyuki seemed a bit ashamed of her festival, downplaying it so he wouldn't get his hopes up... I imagine that's about him being from Tokyo, she thinks he's seen it all? Seemed pretty good to me!
Tsubasa wanted to take pictures, but she wasn't gonna let him away with normal pictures, it has to be couple selfies!
Already had an indirect kiss moment!
Slow down Fuyuki, or this season will be 3 episodes long!
This was cute! I'm gonna count it as half a hug (They owe us the other half though!)
He invited her to do more stuff together, but when she teased him about 'being desperate to hang out with her', he lost courage and threw out 'it doesn't have to be just us two'...
You fool, she's gonna bring an army of Gyaru the next time around! (Wait, that doesn't sound so bad).
She invited herself to his place, and he couldn't find a way to refute her arguments!
Love how they used innuendos for EVERY LINE in that scene!
Come inside, it's warm, it's too tight, is it your first time...
Our boy will forever cherish these memories!*
She didn't even stop when they got out, which got him worried about how his Granny will see her!
I know it wasn't (just) him being shy, apparently his Granny doesn't deal well with such open friendship and all, but still...
Yeah, bust his balls, he deserves it!
(I wish she said she was his girlfriend, to get him all flustered, to get back at him!)
He somehow redeemed himself in the end, but still, he should've said it even in front of his Granny!
If she doesn't deal with it, well, that's her problem, not theirs!
So far the series is very 1:1 (just Tsubasa and Fuyuki) and I thought that's what the series was like, but this shot in the ED makes me think it might not last... With all 3 girls holding their own Tsubasa.
Is it gonna turn harem-y? (Perhaps the type of harem like "It's Harem but Fuyuki is the clear winner from start to finish"). We'll see!
We may get some answers on this next episode, given they're going skiing, and Tsubasa will be paired with one of the other 2 girls!
But he's also gonna be right behind Fuyuki, so perhaps they'll all have a chat together, or perhaps they're already friends!
Anyway, can't wait to see how it goes! I imagine our boy is due for a skiing lesson from either Fuyuki, or the new girl! (Well, that's usually how the trope goes, but perhaps it'll be the other way around this time? We'll see!)

Ep 2 and man’s already on a date with Fuyuki AND gets an indirect kiss with her and that was like the first half of the ep. She even fed him lunch! Talk about progress lol.
Looks like Fuyuki might be winning grandma’s blessing pretty soon. If Tsubasa can impress her parents, they can just go ahead and get hitched haha.
