Synopsis:

Yoshino Koharu, seeking a vibrant life beyond her rural upbringing, finds herself unexpectedly thrust into the quiet agricultural town of Manoyama. She arrives expecting a glamorous opportunity, only to discover she's been mistaken for someone else and landed a job as the self-proclaimed "queen" of a peculiar local attraction. Recognizing Manoyama’s need for revitalization, Yoshino partners with the town's Board of Tourism. The narrative explores her efforts to breathe new life into the community through creative projects that showcase Manoyama's unique cultural heritage and landscapes. The series examines the complexities of community identity, contrasting the allure of modernization with the importance of preserving local traditions while navigating personal growth amidst unfamiliar surroundings. It offers a gentle exploration of finding purpose in unexpected places and fostering connection within a close-knit environment.
