In the first episode, we meet Kobato Jogoro, a new student at Funato High School, who is exploring the school grounds. He receives a message from his girlfriend Yuki Osanai, checking in on his enrollment. The two celebrate their shared success and run into Kengo, an old friend of Kobato and an acquaintance of Yuki from middle school.
Kobato and Yuki go to a restaurant and talk about Yuki's love for sweets and her plans to visit the shop "Alice," known for its strawberry shortcakes. Their plans are interrupted when Kengo calls Kobato and asks for help finding a stolen bag belonging to a classmate named Yoshiguchi. Despite Yuki's disappointment, Kobato agrees.
The search takes Kobato around the school as he coordinates with Kengo and the others. Kengo suggests reporting the theft to the police, leading to a temporary halt in the search. Kobato reunites with Yuki and persuades her to help him solve the mystery of the bag. Kobato suspects Takada, another friend, of the theft and finds the bag with a love letter inside.
Takada confesses to stealing the bag out of affection for Yoshiguchi. After the case is resolved, Kobato and Yuki rush to "Alice," but they talk about their desire to live a normal life and avoid romantic entanglements. Finally, they reach "Alice" and enjoy their strawberry shortcakes.
The episode ends chaotically when Kobato's bike is stolen while shopping, leading to a chase that destroys their shortcakes. The episode closes with a shot of Yuki and Kobato staring in disbelief at the ruined cupcakes, offering a glimpse of their normal yet unpredictable high school life.
