Natsuyasumi Ake no Kanojo wa… – Episode 1

Nishida-kun is a dedicated “otaku” deeply immersed in the world of anime and manga, currently spending his days as an active member of the academy’s cinema club. His predictable, quiet routine is entirely upended when Kaede Amakawa—a highly charismatic and popular young woman—unexpectedly joins the organization right before the summer break.

Nishida quickly develops a profound attachment to Kaede. As the duo grows closer during the holidays, the young man begins dreaming of a flawless, idealized romance. To commemorate their bond, Nishida proposes a specialized cinematic project, aiming to establish unforgettable, beautiful memories that neither of them would ever forget.

However, harsh reality soon shatters his expectations. When the new academic semester officially begins, Nishida is left completely paralyzed to discover that Kaede’s disposition and social standing have entirely changed.

The girl he once earnestly pursued has now entered a highly unsettling, subordinate relationship under Matsuoko—a notorious, smooth-talking local playboy whom Kaede previously held in absolute contempt. What dark event transpired during that intense summer break? A gripping, high-stakes chronicle of personal betrayal and the bittersweet shadows of teenage relationships officially begins.
