Encouragement of Climb

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.

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…

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?

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

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!

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?

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!

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

Mt. Fuji awaits! What will Aoi and her friends see from that legendary summit? The peak is in reach... but will they all make it to the top?

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!
