In Smile by the Sea, Chika Suzugamori agrees to travel with her fellow mangaka Fuyune Kojiya, who brings her friend Riri Tenkubashi, suggesting Chika work with Riri as an assistant. While exploring Kyoto, Chika notices Riri frequently finds reasons to drink, revealing Chika is still underage.

Fuyune’s playful energy and imaginative ideas for manga emerge throughout the trip. The group stays at a hotel, where Chika sees Riri drawing her ideas in the morning. Their shared interest in manga helps them connect, and they begin collaborating on Riri’s work.
