Synopsis:

Koguma is a quiet high school student navigating a life marked by solitude. Her world shifts when she unexpectedly acquires a used Honda Super Cub motorcycle from a local shop owner – an impulsive purchase promising a change of pace. The scooter becomes more than just transportation; it's a catalyst for connection as Koguma explores her surroundings and encounters others.

The series unfolds with a gentle focus on everyday experiences, charting Koguma’s gradual integration into the community through shared moments and developing relationships. It explores themes of self-discovery and the power of small beginnings, portraying a quiet yet compelling journey toward finding purpose and belonging in an otherwise unremarkable existence. The narrative emphasizes character growth and the beauty found in ordinary life, rather than grand conflicts or fantastical elements.
