About The♥Kabocha Wine
Shunsuke Aoba has just transferred to a new school and can’t wait to attend. Excitedly, he sprints to the school but, upon arrival, finds that no one is there. Unfortunately, Shunsuke didn’t know that his first day was a holiday, of all things. However, it seems that he is not the only one on campus. As he is about to eat his lunch, he meets a student named Natsumi. Shunsuke gives her some of his food, and the two strike up a conversation. Natsumi was born as a so-called SL girl, a particularly tall girl. She herself accepts her specialness but is rejected by many of her classmates. How will Shunsuke react to this? Will their initial friendship continue?
Directed by Mitsuru Miura, The♥Kabocha Wine leans on a strong ensemble — Toshio Furukawa, Keiko Yokozawa, Tomiko Suzuki — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 1982.

But his classmate, "heroine-level beauty" Kubo, always notices him and is there to tease him. Anyone can become special to someone, but it might be a little too early to call these feelings "love."
