Summer Time Rendering#Anime

Summer Time Rendering takes place in Hitogashima, a fictional island based on Tomogashima located in Kitan Strait in Wakayama Prefecture. While Tomogashima itself is an uninhabited island, Tanaka imagined how it might have been if it were an inhabited island.

In the story, Hitogashima is set as an island with a population of about 700 people. The village is depicted based on the Kada district of Wakayama City and Ogijima in Kagawa Prefecture. The places names in Hitogashima, such as "Takanosuyama" and "Torajima", are taken from the real Tomogashima.

The {{Nihongo|Shadows|影|Kage}} are mysterious creatures similar to Doppelgängers, who act as the main antagonist of the story. They are able to copy the appearance and memories of humans, impersonate them, and then try to kill them and take their place. They are also able to copy inanimate objects, to some limitations. These creatures are led by Hiruko, a god enshrined in Hito Shrine that they call "mother".

Following the death of his parents, Shinpei Ajiro grew up with the Kofune sisters, Ushio and Mio, before heading to Tokyo to live alone. Two years later, on July 22, 2018, he returns to his hometown of Hitogashima to attend Ushio's funeral, following news of her drowning. However, Shinpei becomes suspicious when he receives news of strangle marks around Ushio's neck, implying that she was murdered. Mio confessed to Shinpei that a few days before Ushio's death, the sisters met Ushio's doppelgänger, something that the locals dub as "Shadow", a legend passed down at the island. Assisted by Mio, Shinpei tries to find the answers to what really happened to Ushio and possibly save the residents from a strange dark enigma.

:Shinpei is a 17-year-old kind-hearted teenager who once lived on Hitogashima with the Kofune family following the death of his parents. He later moved to Tokyo to become independent. His return to the island for Ushio’s funeral draws him into uncovering the island's dark secrets. Shinpei has the habit of thinking objectively when he loses his composure or is upset. He is a fan of Ryūnosuke Nagumo, a writer who wrote mystery novel set in Wakayama. At some point before July 22, his right eye turned light blue, marking the beginning of his ability to loop by dying.

This is an incredible show full of suspense and I seriously recommend it! Also Ushio is hilarious and was tons of fun. And I chant about curry.|date=January 11, 2023|access-date=January 12, 2023}}}}

:Mio's older sister, as well Shinpei's adoptive sister who died by drowning after saving a little girl, her death prompts Shinpei's return to Hitogashima. Being half-French, her blond hair was often ridiculed when she was younger. She is bold, brazen, and hot-tempered, though this makes her capable of acting quickly and responding to sudden situations. After her death, a Shadow of her appeared in front of Shinpei. Other Shadows dub her as defective. Shadow Ushio is often seen with school swimsuit, as she copied her original while wearing one.

;{{Nihongo|Mio Kofune|小舟 澪|Kofune Mio}}

:{{Voiced by|Saho Shirasu|Merk Nguyen}}

:Mio is Ushio's younger sister who has a crush on Shinpei. Unlike Ushio, Mio is shy and meek, and it is these personality and physical differences that have led Mio to harbor much self-hatred. Her Shadow, unlike the human Mio, has few facial expressions. She has a cold and cruel personality. She always wears the sailor uniform that Mio was wearing when she was scanned, and she mainly uses a kitchen knife as a weapon.

:A horror-mystery writer under pen name Ryūnosuke Nagumo, Hizuru is intelligent and level-headed, capable of making accurate deductions and detailed planning. She is also a trained combatwoman and this skill is compounded by how the data of her younger twin brother, Ryūnosuke's, Shadow exists in her, allowing her to detect Shadows and move at their speed albeit with much strain on her body. She was a local of Hitogashima who left the island 14 years prior to the story after Ryūnosuke's death. She came back after receiving a mysterious voice note from Ushio. One of her novel, "Swamp Man", is actually based on Shadows.

Kōhei Horikoshi, My Hero Academia{{'}}s author and Tanaka's ex-assistant, made positive comments about the series.

Friedman, however, criticized its fanservice, stating that "[it] can be distracting".{{cite news|last=Friedman|first=Erica|author-link=Erica Friedman|title=Summer Time Rendering GN 1 - Review|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/summer-time-rendering/gn-1/.183109|work=Anime News Network|access-date=March 2, 2022|date=March 2, 2022|archive-date=June 30, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230630133943/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/summer-time-rendering/gn-1/.183109|url-status=live}}
