Summer Time Rendering

After losing his parents, Shinpei Ajiro was taken in by the Kofune family and grew up alongside their daughters, Mio and Ushio. Years later, he returns from Tokyo to their island home for Ushio’s funeral after she dies in a drowning incident while trying to save a little girl. What should be a simple tragedy turns unsettling when Shinpei’s closest friend mentions bruises found on Ushio’s neck, raising the possibility that her death wasn’t an accident.

As Shinpei starts retracing what happened, the island grows increasingly uneasy—people vanish, and events defy explanation. Mio is reminded of a local legend about “Shadows,” beings said to bring death to anyone who encounters their double. With Hitogashima’s hidden menace closing in, Shinpei fights against an encroaching fate, determined to carry out Ushio’s last wish: protecting Mio.
