Summer Pockets: A sunlit journey of memories and romance
https://i.imgur.com/8ZGeeeG.mp4
Summer Pockets is set on an isolated, rural and peaceful island on the Seto Inland Sea called Torishirojima, which has a population of about 2,000 people. The protagonist is Hairi Takahara, a young man not native to the island. Hairi grew up in an urban setting, but after an unpleasant incident he uses the recent death of his grandmother as an excuse to come to the island to take care of her estate sale. Once there, he gets to know four girls who are the focus of the story. They include Shiroha Naruse, who forgot her summer vacation; Ao Sorakado, who is pursuing the legends of the island; Kamome Kushima, a high-class girl looking for a pirate ship; and Tsumugi Wenders, a younger girl trying to find herself

Summer memories and adventures await
It’s been a very long time since I last watched anything from Keys, that one being Charlotte. And that’s the only series I’ve watched from them. So, having another go with Summer pockets is one I found interesting. Summer pocket is pretty much your quintessential Key visual novel. And this is what’s this is based on, granted I haven’t played the visual novel, so I’m going in blind.
Honestly, nothing much happens in the 3 episodes I’ve watched, if anything happens at all. And that’s fine, I found myself thinking summer pockets picked the wrong season to be airing, as the namesake is far more suited to the summer season. As it really does have that summer vibe to it. The art scenery is gorgeous.
I’m guessing the show’s premises is finding or rather re-finding lost youth, as Takahara struggled with something in his life and is here to find himself. Along the way some love interests in basically a harem. Usually, I’d leave this at the would I still watch it section but will mention it here. This show makes a very nice Sunday viewing, imo.

Takahara Hairi your male main lead, very typica VN lead
Takahara Hairi is your typical male lead. I do think he is somewhat left blank, since he is the main lead in the visual novel so his personality is very typical of visual novel leads – if that makes sense at all. His history over at the mainland is interesting, he has some history being part of the swimming team, whilst not living up to swim team, has caused him to have some trauma. So, he is chilling on the island and finding which girl he can add to his growing harem. He may have some connection or memories to the island, as there are subtle hints.
Shiroha Naruse is literally your quintessential Keys female main lead
Shiroha Naruse I’d say is the main girl for the anime. As Takahara has a bit more interaction with her or run ins with her at least. She seems to like swimming just like Takahara. She is the most mysterious one from the looks of it. Her personality is okay, I found. Other than that, not much else.
Would I continue watching?
Yeah, I’d continue with it. Makes a very pleasant Sunday viewing.
