Transfer student, Aoba Shunsuke, arrived at Sunshine School only to find the premises empty. He was secretly gleeful to be the first to reach the school, oblivious to the fact that it was Foundation Day and a rest day for the institution. At that moment, a big-sized "L"(Eru) beauty by the name of Natsumi appeared before him and the two of them hit off together even though Shunsuke was so much smaller than her. Shunsuke's mother runs a women's apparel business but the shop is in need of manpower.
Shunsuke offers to help out at the shop but fumbles a lot because he does not know how to interact with the ladies. Eru decides to step in and help out around the shop and this pleases Shunsuke's mother. This is a romance story that shares the joys and woes of the "SL" combination between Shunsuke and Eru.

Where it came from
The Kabocha Wine was produced by Toei Animation and premiered in 1982, serving as a prominent example of the romantic comedy boom in early 1980s anime. Based on the long-running manga by Mitsuru Miura, the series centers on the unlikely high school romance between the short-statured protagonist Shunsuke Aoba and the significantly taller Natsumi Asaoka. The adaptation captured the whimsical and slightly slapstick tone of the source material, reflecting the era's focus on school-life narratives and lighthearted relationship dynamics.
The series is noted for its distinctive character designs that emphasize physical contrast, a hallmark of Miura's illustrative style. By focusing on the insecurities and social challenges faced by the couple due to their height difference, the production offered a grounded, albeit comedic, take on adolescent romance. Upon its release, it became a staple of early 1980s television programming, maintaining a nostalgic presence in the history of the genre as a classic example of Toei's expansive catalog of manga-to-anime adaptations.
