Plot
In Yonezawa, Yamagata, Hiiragi Yatsuse, a first-year high school student who cannot refuse requests and seeks acceptance, struggles with his social life and lacks close friends. One unusual summer day, when it snows, he meets Tsumugi, an Oni (demon) girl searching for her mother Shion in the human world. Tsumugi, unlike Hiiragi, is unconcerned with others' opinions and brings him along on her journey.
Shion had disappeared when Tsumugi was very young. Her mother gave her a good luck charm from a remote temple; her last known location was also confirmed by Tsumugi's father Izuru. The kids start their journey at Hiiragi's house, where his suppressed emotions cause snow to fall and attract "snow gods". They escape and hitchhike with Ryuji and Mio Takahashi, a young couple selling used clothing at street fairs. After helping the Takahashis - actually brother and sister - to communicate better about their feelings, they are given clothes for their journey.
