A PLACE FURTHER THAN THE UNIVERSE

Mari is a high-school girl with huge dreams but does not dare to act on them, until she meets her schoolmate Shirase.

While working part-time to earn money for a ticket to Fremantle, Mari meets Hinata, who gains interest in Antarctica.

Yuzuki is a child actress who is tasked to go on the expedition as a reporter, but she asks Shirase to go for her.

Mari gets into trouble with her mother for faking her signature for permission to go on the Antarctica expedition.

The Antarctica expedition draws near and the girls are busy preparing, but Mari's friend Megumi seems a little distant.

The girls arrive in Singapore for a two day layover before heading to Australia, but Hinata loses her passport.

While helping the other workers in Fremantle, the girls start to worry about how understaffed the expedition is.

The ship finally sets off to Antarctica, and the girls take some time before they are acclimatized to the environment.

A crewmate named Toshio reveals his feelings for Gin, and the girls try to find out information about Gin's love life.

The crew arrive at Syowa Station, where they will stay for three months. Yuzuki celebrates her first birthday with friends.

The girls receive video messages from their friends and family, but something seems to be bothering Hinata.

Shirase gets anxious after being invited to join a snowcat ride to the place where her mother Takako disappeared.

As their time in Antarctica comes to an end, the girls have to start preparing to return to their normal lives in Japan.
