Source-derived summary

Good Morning Call (グッドモーニング・コール, Guddo Mōningu Kōru) is a Japanese shōjo manga series by Yue Takasuka that ran in the monthly magazine Ribon from 1997 to 2002. Part of the story has been adapted into an OVA. In 2007, a sequel manga, Good Morning Kiss (グッドモーニング・キス, guddomōningu kisu), was serialized in Cookie. As of December 2019, eighteen volumes have been released.

A live-action television adaptation was co-produced by Fuji TV (Japan) & Netflix (worldwide). Like the manga, the series is set in Tokyo and follows the relationships of the main characters from high school to university. Season one streamed on Fuji on Demand and Netflix Japan from February 12, 2016, to June 10, 2016. A second season aired on September 22, 2017, under the title Good Morning Call: Our Campus Days. According to the program's social media, a third season is under discussion.

Plot

Teenager Nao Yoshikawa has moved into her own 2DK apartment in the city as her parents have returned to the country to manage the family farm. However, she soon discovers that Hisashi Uehara, a good-looking schoolmate, is also moving in.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “media franchise based on manga of the same name” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 3, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3110678. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1997, 2002, 2007 and 2019.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
