## Plot overview

The story is going to follow the manga chapters which come right after Season 2. The key visuals show Rin on Ikawa-Ohashi Bridge and Nadeshiko at Senzu Station, so it is apparent that the season will include the Oi River trip from Chapter 56 through Chapter 63. The trailer also shows the girls using the alcohol stove from Let's Make an Alcohol Stove and the sausages from Sausage and Planning What's Next (not to mention Chiaki discussing a haircut.

## Trivia

* Although the director acknowledged the character designs had changed, the difference was not significantly noticeable from the first teaser trailer PV as only Rin was obviously a bit different.  Rin's bangs are much longer and her face is a bit rounder. The chins of the characters are pointier and their eyes are a bit more generic.
