Yuuki Hirano is an 18-year-old who recently graduated from high school, but has no prospects due to having failed his university entrance exams. One day a brochure for a 1-year forestry program catches his eye and he sees it as a second chance. Soon, he winds up in Kamusari, a remote village situated deep in the mountains. Although Hirano is initially annoyed by the lack of amenities in the remote location and intimidated by his instructor, he decides to stay when he meets a beautiful young woman named Naoki.
