Hokkaido Tourism ad with some romance, and a bit of harem. It's not novel nor good but it's an easy read, doesn't drag the plot and honestly, it works. Makes you want to visit Hokkaido.
Overall it feels like comfort food. You are sick and you don't want something too complicated or full of drama. There's cute girls, a protagonist that's actually not as bland as the typical main character for this kind of shows, heaps of fanservice that doesn't feel out of place because it is part of the main course and a lot of information on hokkaido history, gastronomy and landmarks.
