Wie weit werden sich Nasa und Tsukasa unter so viel Druck trauen zu gehen? Werden sie den nächsten Schritt wagen?

Nasa Yuzaki hat’s nicht leicht: schon seit seiner Kindheit wird er ständig wegen seines bizarren Namens aufgezogen.

Der Sommer ist da und die Möglichkeiten, seine Freizeit zu verbringen, sind schier endlos! Um dem Alltagstrott zu entfliehen, ist es auch für Nasa und seine Frau Tsukasa an der Zeit, allmählich das Winterfell abzustreifen.
