Shinpei reunites with the Kofune family, including Ushio's younger sister, Mio. While Ushio officially drowned while saving a young girl named Shiori, Shinpei's friend Sou reveals that strangulation marks were found on her neck.

This report covers the first episode of the anime series Summertime Render (Japanese: Summer Time Rendering ), specifically the Italian-dubbed version ( ITA ).

The story follows Shinpei Ajiro, a young man who returns to his secluded hometown on Hitogashima island for the funeral of his childhood friend, Ushio Kofune.

Shinpei learns of a local legend called "Shadow Sickness". Legend says that if you see your own "Shadow" (a doppelganger), you will soon be killed by it.

While investigating the disappearance of Shiori's family, Shinpei and Mio encounter a "Shadow" version of Mio. The Shadow Mio kills them both, which triggers Shinpei’s supernatural ability: he "loops" back in time to the moment he first arrived on the island. Core Characters & Cast Shinpei Ajiro
