Ah, summer in the country... School is out and there's nothing to do but have fun. Well, except for summer homework. Or tests of courage gone horribly wrong. Or having to explain your terrible grades to your mother. Maybe summer isn't so great after all! Still, there are plenty of delightful summer adventures for the few students and one teacher of Asashigoaka Branch School. Join Natsumi, Komari, Renge, Hotaru, and the rest of the gang as they take a trip to the beach, hunt cicadas, make new friends, and try to figure out what else to do on their long, hot summer days. It's (almost) all fun and games...
