Super Cub

Koguma, a shy 2nd-year student in high school with no parents, no money, no friends, and no goals for the future decides one day to shop for a motorbike. When she buys an inexpensive used Honda Super Cub, it leads to events that will change her life.

When Koguma lets in slip in class that she owns a motorbike, she attracts the attention of Reiko, one of the girls who sits near her. Reiko insists on seeing Koguma's Cub, as well as showing off her own, and is pleased to meet a fellow Cub rider.

With summer vacation approaching, Koguma plans to spend it working for the school, shuttling papers back and forth to a high school in Kofu. Along the way, she finds herself learning more about maintaining her Cub, and the perils of inclement weather.

Koguma visits Reiko at her home, and the two have dinner together. Reiko recounts the story of how she took a job at the Mountain Hut Kikuya over the summer as a means to pursue her own dream, something which proved to be more difficult than expected.
