Story
Synopsis
Mari Tamaki has always wanted to do something wild and unforgettable with her youth but never had the courage to actually act on it, until she meets Shirase Kobuchizawa, a determined classmate saving up to join an expedition to Antarctica in search of her missing mother. Together with two more girls drawn into their orbit, the group embarks on an genuinely improbable journey from ordinary high school life to the literal bottom of the world. It is funny, warm, and quietly profound about friendship and grief, using its outlandish premise to tell a story that stays remarkably grounded in real emotion.
