    Summertime Render

    An anime adaptation of the series Summertime Render will premiere on April 14th as part of the Spring 2022 anime season.

    The series is the most popular work of Yasunori Tanaka and ran from 2017 before finishing in 2021 after 139 chapters. The series follows a young man named Ajiro Shinpei who returns to his island hometown when Ushio Kofune, one of the women who took him in when his parents died winds up dead herself.

    A summary of the series from MyAnimeList can be found below.

    After his parents died, Shinpei Ajiro lived with the Kofune sisters, Mio and Ushio, but he has since moved to live on his own in Tokyo. But after Ushio drowns while trying to save the young Shiori Kobayakawa, he returns home to mourn her departure. However, bruises around Ushio’s neck bring her cause of death into question.

    Taking a step back, Shinpei becomes convinced there must be another explanation. Dangerous entities roam among the islanders, and a vision of deceased Ushio asks him to “save Mio” as her final request. He is certain that something is afoot—and Ushio’s death is only a piece of the puzzle.

    With the help of Mio and various others, Shinpei struggles to forge a future in which he, his friends, and family can stay alive. But the more he investigates, the more impossible such a future seems. This darkness infiltrates his home island. Just how much more suffering will he go through before finding the right path to save it all?

    At the time of publishing, an English release of the series has not been announced.
