The anime follows the journey of Takahara Hairi, a young man returning to the serene island of Torishirojima. As he adjusts to life on the island, he encounters several forgotten childhood friends, including Naruse Shiroha, Sorakado Ao, and Kushima Kamome—all of whom have their story arcs featured in the first six episodes, which concluded today.
In addition to the main heroines, several supporting characters such as Wenders Tsumugi, Katou Umi, Nomura Miki, Mitani Ryouichi, Mizuori Shizuku, and Inari will also play prominent roles throughout the series.
With a 26-episode run, fans are speculating that the adaptation may cover multiple routes and endings from the original visual novel. This includes possible alternate conclusions for Shiroha, Ao, Tsumugi, and Kamome—routes that are central to the emotional core of the game.
Animation production is being handled by Studio feel., known for previous works such as Yosuga no Sora: In Solitude, Where We Are Least Alone and So, I Can’t Play H! (Dakara Boku wa, H ga Dekinai). Their experience with emotionally rich narratives positions them well to adapt the multi-layered storytelling of Summer Pockets.
The series continues to air weekly, and with its mix of nostalgia, personal growth, and romantic drama, Summer Pockets is poised to be a standout anime of the season. Visual novel fans and newcomers alike are encouraged to tune in and experience the unfolding summer tale.
