As a curiosity, the town in the very first panel (picture below) is how Yumachi looks from the air. In real life it's called Tamayu-cho Yumachi. This is where Shino, Kanna and most of the main characters live. Hayari, however, lives in the city center of Matsue, a few km to the NE (30 min by public transport).
In the year 2000, Tamayu-cho had about 6,000 hab. but then in 2005 it was absorbed and became part of the city of Matsue (200,000 hab). At the time, many other towns and villages were also merged into Matsue. Today, the limits of Matsue-shi (Matsue City) cover a much larger area than just the urban area of Matsue. That's why the Yumachi girls but also Yue and Aina who live even farther away, they all participated in the Matsue City Tournament.
