Summer Pockets Synopsis
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.
