Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable! episode 2 recap

The episode kicks off with Minami Fuyuki deciding to tag along with Tsubasa Shiki to the town's winter festival. She informs him about the meeting location via text message and also sends a selfie, which makes Shiki's heart flutter.

After waiting for a while at the Kitami station, the protagonist is greeted by Minami, whose gorgeous presence mesmerizes him. Together, the duo finally arrives at the festival. They try various rides and also take a selfie together near giant snow statues.

Besides that, they share a sugar-coated hot dog, which results in them having an indirect kiss. After trying out everything, Shiki tells Minami how much he enjoyed the festival with her by his side.

Minami then mentions that she once came to the festival during her elementary school days. As such, she wasn't sure whether she would enjoy it now that she had grown older. However, seeing Shiki happy made her day a memorable one.

She could appreciate the mundane things in her life and realize how much she loved her hometown. The episode then sees a romantic moment between them as Shiki helps Minami, who almost tripped and fell to the ground.

While returning from the festival, the protagonist tells her that he would love to go out together again sometime, making Minami blush. The next day, the blonde-haired girl makes the protagonist try the special cup noodles from Hokkaido, which he finds delicious.

In return, she eats Shiki's homemade bento and discovers that it's made by his grandmother. Minami then asks him whether she can come over to his place, which he hesitantly accepts.

While returning, the girl finds a snowfort built by some kids. She goes inside and takes Shiki with her as well. At that moment, the protagonist's grandmother arrives and sees them coming out of the snow fort, which causes a misunderstanding.

It is then revealed that Tsubasa Shiki's grandmother is a conservative woman who doesn't like girls who are "bold." However, seeing her grandson's smile changes her heart.

The next day, a teacher at Shiki's school reveals the seating arrangements for skiing lessons. The protagonist finds that he is seated behind Fuyuki and next to a girl named Akino.
