Summer Times Are Coming
On the edge of their final school summer, four friends believe this season will be no different from the ones before—long afternoons, shared laughter, and promises that feel endless.
Aoi Kanzaki quietly observes everything, writing down moments he’s afraid to forget. Mio Takahara holds the group together with warmth and smiles, even as she senses something slipping away. Ren Ishida laughs through his fear of the future, while Yuna Morikawa’s restless energy hides a truth she’s been carrying alone.
As cicadas cry and festivals light up the nights, unspoken feelings begin to surface. Small changes—missed messages, lingering looks, half-finished sentences—turn ordinary days into memories too precious to ignore. When a secret finally comes to light, the friends are forced to face what they’ve been avoiding: that this summer may be the last one they’ll spend together as they are now.
Summer Times Are Coming is a gentle, bittersweet story about friendship, first love, and the quiet heartbreak of growing up—about a summer that doesn’t end with goodbyes, but with the realization that time never waits, even for those who wish it would.
