A storm cancels everything, and instead of disappointment, the show finds something better in a single night at a nowhere hotel. The entire special is just five kids being exactly themselves when the world forces them to stop planning and start existing. That's the whole magic of Manabi Straight: it doesn't need plot to make you feel like you're sitting in the same room.

Set between the sixth and seventh episodes of the regular broadcast, this comedy special shows how Manami and her friends spend their summer vacation, before they start planning the School Fair. The girls raise money for a summer trip, but on the day they set out, a storm sweeps through and forces them to call it off. They spend the night at a local hotel in a rural area instead, then return to their town the next day.
