Mihara, a 25-year-old layabout living in Tokyo, is gently convinced by his mother to apply for a job back in his hometown. His old school is looking for a bus driver, and thinking of it as easy work, he readily takes it on. When he arrives, however, he finds the school consists of 17 motley students who are reluctant to like him. But precocious schoolkids and bumpy roads aren't the only problems he'll have to deal with - on top of that, he's told that if the school doesn't have 30 enrolments by the next school year, it'll be forced to close?!

Kaminato Hare is a loner middle school student, who doesn't much understand feelings (neither her own, nor those of others). Her parents send her to live alone in a relative's empty house on a rural island. The people Hare meets there are weird, but also kind of nice. First there's her cousin, Akasaki Maayu, who she can't seem to understand at all. Then there are the two close friends, Ukita Sakuya and Nako Kairi, who creep into her house in search of a ghost, and end up deciding that Hare needs to join their team, due to her superior mystery-solving skills. Hare is used to being alone, but it looks like moving out in the country is bringing more people into her life!

Akira's life is humdrum to the point of being hell. He dropped out of school six months ago, never leaves the house, and just broke his mother's favorite DVD. The latter is the last straw for his long-suffering mother, who (literally) ties him up and ships him off to his Uncle's farm in the middle of nowhere! On top of that, his mother leaves him a note saying, "Work until you pay back the 150,000 yen for my DVD"?! So, he's put to work, and meets a smarmy, man-hating horse called Romeo along with his cute but anti-social trainer. If Akira thought his life was hell before, he ain't seen nothing yet!

But at the end of the day, with beer in hand as they take in the sights, they begin to understand that country life can be real hard, but real good.
