In the beginning, there was only Winter. Unable to bear the loneliness, Winter created Spring from its own lifeforce. Afterward, responding to the earth's wishes, Winter created Summer and Fall, completing the four seasons. Eventually, humans were given the duty of changing the seasons, and those humans were called the "Representatives of the Four Seasons." This is the story of those "living gods" who manifest the seasons in the world.

!!''Shunkashuutou Daikousha'' provides examples of:
* AnachronismStew: Characters regularly wear a mixture of traditional Japanese clothing like hakama and kimono as well as modern Western style clothing like suit jackets and ties. The Representatives bring about the seasons with traditional songs and dances, but at one point Ruri talks about playing a mobile game. Despite the fact that guns and other weapons exist, the guards fight mainly using katanas and fists. This is {{Lampshaded}} when the novel mentions that the Representatives and those concerned with them lived in a completely different world from the average citizen of Yamato.
* BreakTheCutie: Hinagiku's kidnapping and subsequent confinement for ten years had stunted her mental development, made her speak in stutters, and caused her to be afraid of people.
* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: Rousei and Hinagiku fit this dynamic to a T.
* CapturedOnPurpose: Hinagiku let herself get kidnapped to save Rousei and the others.
* ConstructedWorld: The story takes place in a country called "Yamato" (basically modern-day Japan) which is divided into five regions: Enishi, Iyo, Teishuu, Tsukushi, and Ryuuguu.
* EndlessWinter: How the world used to be in the very beginning before Winter created the other seasons.
* FirstLove: Both Hinagiku and Rousei are this for each other.
* FloralThemeNaming: The Spring Representative Hinagiku's name means "daisy," while her guard Sakura's name means "cherry blossom."
* InMediasRes: The first novel begins with Hinagiku and Sakura on their way to perform the spring ceremony for the first time in ten years, with Hinagiku having "returned" from her kidnapping for some time now. As the story goes on, it slowly reveals what happened to her.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Nazuna, the young girl Hinagiku and Sakura meet on their way to perform the ceremony, bluntly asks Hinagiku why she talks the way she does and what happened to her during her ten years of absence. Sakura is not amused.
* LikeRealityUnlessNoted: Yamato is basically modern-day Japan with all the technological advancements except for the fact that the seasons, as well as dawn and sunset, are managed by "human gods" rather than just happening naturally. This applies to the other countries in the story's world as well.
* MyGreatestFailure: Together with ItsAllMyFault. It's a big part of the ''Haru no Mai'' books, where Sakura, Rousei, and Itechou all feel guilt over what happened to Hinagiku and blame themselves for not preventing her kidnapping.
* SiblingTeam: The Summer Representative and her guard are twin sisters.
* SpringIsLate: Spring has been late for ten years due to Hinagiku's disappearance.
* UndyingLoyalty: Sakura and Itechou are both willing to die for their masters, treating them as their most precious person in the world.
