Lapin Track's SHOSHIMIN anime was a mystery series centered around Jougorou Kobato. After realizing that he no longer needed to use his "detective" skills to solve others' problems, he left his mysterious "wisdom works" and formed an alliance with his friend Yuki Osanai. The two of them enrolled in a high school, hoping to lead mundane lives.

To their surprise, more mysteries awaited them but the intensity of these mysteries was significantly lower than the ones Kobato experienced in his "wisdom works." These new mysteries revolved around everyone's mundane issues of friends. So, with previous experience, Kobato decided to give his talent a go again.

Be it a mystery involving a stolen bicycle or that of a dirty spoon, Kobato started enjoying the return of his previous life. In every mystery, he called Osanai, and together, these two gained the reputation of detectives. However, alongside this reputation came the allegation of dating.

So, when Osanai couldn't handle the rumors, she broke her alliance with Kobato. She said that it was mainly due to Kobato's uninterest in having a mundane life, but the "allegations of dating" alleviated everything.

After this, Kobato was approached by Tokiko Nakamura, who had heard of his broken relationship with Osanai. So, she took her shot and started dating Kobato while Osanai started dating Takahiko Urino.

SHOSHIMIN season 2 episode 1 is titled A Warm Winter (Part 1). The premiere will continue from where it left off in the previous season as Osanai and Kobato dissolve their alliance and start dating different people. Osanai, with her boyfriend Takahiko, visits a coffee shop on their way home.
