The Summertime Rendering anime is based on the manga series by Yasuki Tanaka, and tells the story of Shinpei Ajiro, a teenager who travels from Tokyo back to the small island he grew up on to attend the funeral of a girl he was once close to.
The girl, Ushio Kofune, has supposedly drowned while trying to save a young girl called Shiori Kobayakawa.
But, when Shinpei goes to Ushio’s funeral and meets his close friend Sou Hishigata, the boy who tried to save Ushio, he discovers there may be more to the story than is being told.
Especially as Sou insists Ushio was murdered.
But, as Shinpei begins to investigate, he discovers there is a darkness that has infiltrated the island and now he, his friends and Ushio’s sister Mio must work together to learn the truth, while protecting each other from the danger that seems to be all around them.
