I hope you will enjoy the interaction between the cute Kozame-chan and Mohican Aniki, who lives in the city.

The synopsis reads (translated):
Kozame-chan, who came in front of the station of Yauo-cho, meets a girl named Sora on a bench, looking sad and downcast. Sora tells her that she is going to transfer to a high school in the city. She is depressed because she thought she might be all alone. Looking at a magazine that shows fun city scenes, Kozame-chan cheers Sora up by telling her that she will be able to make new friends in the city.
After parting with Sora, as Kozame-chan starts to walk away, a glittering poster of the city jumped into her eyes. At that moment, a shark-shaped cloud passes over Kozame-chan. As if lured by the cloud, Kozame-chan boards a train headed for the city. Neon lights shine brightly, and people come and go at the scramble crossing, a crowded train with many people. Kozame-chan’s little adventure begins in the “Tokai (Big City)”!
