Sinopsis of Summer Pockets
The story takes place on an isolated,
rural, peaceful island in the Seto Inland Sea called Torishirojima, which has a
population of approximately 2,000 people. The protagonist is Hairi Takahara, a
young man not native to the island. Hairi grew up in an urban environment, but
after an unpleasant incident, he uses the recent death of his grandmother as an
excuse to come to the island to take charge of the sale of her property. While
there, he meets four girls who are the focus of the story.
These girls include Shiroha Naruse, who
forgot about her summer vacation; Ao Sorakado, who pursues the island's
legends; Kamome Kushima, an upper-class girl searching for a pirate ship; and
Tsumugi Wnders, a younger girl looking to find herself.
