Recap of Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable! episode 1

Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable! episode 1 begins with the protagonist, Tsubasa Shiki, arriving at Japan's Northernmost prefecture, Hokkaido, from his hometown Tokyo, due to family reasons.

While he is mesmerized by Hokkaido's snow-draped landscape, the frosty weather chills him to his bones. Even worse, he gets out of his taxi at the wrong place. At that moment, he meets a "Gyaru" girl, wearing a scarf, a jacket, and a short skirt.

Shiki is bewildered upon seeing a girl bare-legged, especially in a cold region like Hokkaido. Nonetheless, he gets to know that his destination is far off, and he would need to walk for at least three hours to reach it. Thankfully, he could board a bus.

The blonde-haired girl then learns that Shiki has come from Tokyo, which piques her curiosity even more. It is also revealed that she goes to the same school where Shiki was to join. Finally, the bus arrives, and the girl reveals that her name is Fuyuki Minami.

The next day, Tsubasa Shiki joins his new school as a transfer student. There, he meets the Gyaru girl, Minami, who gives him a blanket to warm up. As a reward, the girl asks Tsubasa to join her for a walk.

Minami then asks the protagonist about his relationship status, his favorite dating spots in Tokyo, and other aspects of his hometown. She gets jealous about the fact that Tokyo has many places to have fun, while people in Hokkaido usually meet each other at their homes.

Following this, the blonde-haired girl unexpectedly invites Tsubasa to her home the next day. Unable to decline her invitation, the protagonist arrives at her home. Minami then reveals that both her parents are out, and she's home alone.

Tsubasa's stay at Minami's house turns into an embarrassing adventure, with the latter's bold gestures creating a sense of discomfort for the former. Following that, she offers to watch a movie together but falls asleep in the middle of it. She apologizes later, and takes Tsubasa to Seicomart, promising to buy him a meal.
