Joined by fellow mountaineering enthusiasts, including the spirited Hinata Kuraue and the other climbers they’ve met on their journey to great heights, Aoi and friends tackle tough challenges and conquer new summits while they embark on adventures throughout the mountain ranges of Japan.

   Aoi once made a promise, but to whom? That person’s name — and the ambition it inspires — is on the tip of her tongue… and on the top of a distant peak!

   Think you can’t climb a mountain in Tokyo? Think again! The Success Steps of the Atago Shrine are right around the corner.

   4. 3rd Season: Fall

   Their next thrilling summit isn’t a mountain. It’s the king of the coasters, and they’re going to conquer this peak, too!

   5. A Challenge From the Mountaineering Club!? / Tough Love on Mt. Buko?

   2022-11-02 · 24m

   The mountaineering club is a lot of fun, but not everyone was into the idea at first glance. Some people need a more comprehensive introduction!

   6. Hikari’s Big Date Plans! / Together for a White Christmas!

   2022-11-09 · 24m

   A trip to Naguri Lake? Sounds like fun, especially since Aoi gets to try canoeing with her coworker. But does this outing feel a bit…unusual?

   2022-11-16 · 24m

   Hinata, Kokona and Aoi plan to watch the first sunrise from atop Mt. Tenranzan, but the plan may change on a dime when they get unexpected news!

   With Valentine’s Day approaching, Aoi and the girls invite Honoka out to hike Mt. Mitake in Okutama.

   9. Mountain Stream Fishing – The Meaning of Life? / Off to Kamakura With Hinata’s Family!

   2022-11-30 · 24m

   Learning to fish is fun… or at least it should be. So why does it feel like Kokona’s mind is miles away from the day’s activities at Naguri stream?

    10. A New Season

    2022-12-07 · 24m

    A spur-of-the-moment proposal snowballs into Aoi leading her entire class on a hike! Somehow this feels more like herding cats than a game of “follow the leader,” though…

11. 

    11. We Meet Again, Mount Fuji!

    2022-12-14 · 24m

    After her last attempt, it’s time for Aoi to scale Mount Fuji once again. But she isn’t climbing alone, and her plans will need to make her friends happy, too.

    The girls head up the Subashiri Trail despite fears about the weather, and things seem to go smoothly! But past is all too often prologue, and Hinata must make a big decision…
