Summer Time Rendering (2022)

Summer Time Render / サマータイムレンダ

Information

Description

An old legend on Hitogashima, a small island with just a couple of thousand residents, tells that there are beings who take on the appearance and personality of a human and make him disappear secretly afterwards. They are called Shadows, and after having disposed of their victim, they are said to live in its place as if nothing ever happened. But the people of Hitogashima shall very soon learn that there could be more to this legend than one would like.

After the death of his parents, Shinpei Ajiro was raised by the Kofune family. He always got along splendidly with his two stepsisters, Ushio and Mio. Nevertheless, he left Hitogashima after middle school to attend a high school in Tokyo. However, after learning of Ushio’s sudden death, he immediately returned to his homeland. Arriving just in time on the day of the funeral, everything except for Ushio’s absence seems to be like back in old times. However, something about Ushio’s death bothers Shinpei: not only is the once good swimmer supposed to have died in the attempt to save the little girl Shiori Kobayakawa but, allegedly, there are some marks visible around her neck that suggest another cause of death. And as if that wasn’t enough, Shiori vanishes right the next morning – together with her family. Shinpei and Mio decide to drop by at the disappeared family’s home, and on their search, they actually bump into someone. However, they do not meet the little Shiori but … Mio?! More precisely, her shadow! Although it appears as cute and pure as the true Mio, it finishes them off in a second. What sounds like the end of a story is, in fact, just the beginning because right the next moment, Shinpei is on the ferry to Hitogashima again …
Eine alte Legende auf Hitogashima, einer kleinen Insel mit nur wenigen tausend Einwohnern, besagt, dass es Wesen gibt, die das Aussehen und die Persönlichkeit eines Menschen annehmen und diesen dann klammheimlich verschwinden lassen. Sie werden Schatten genannt, und nachdem sie ihr Opfer beseitigt haben, sollen sie an dessen Stelle ganz normal weiterleben, als wäre nichts gewesen. Doch die Bewohner Hitogashimas sollen schon bald erfahren, dass an dieser Legende womöglich mehr dran sein könnte, als ihnen lieb ist.

Nach dem Tod seiner Eltern wurde Shinpei Ajiro von der Kofune-Familie großgezogen. Mit seinen beiden Stiefschwestern Ushio und Mio verstand er sich immer bestens, dennoch verlässt er nach der Mittelschule Hitogashima, um eine Oberschule in Tokio zu besuchen. Als ihn jedoch eines Tages die Nachricht von Ushios plötzlichem Tod erreicht, kehrt er sofort in seine Heimat zurück. Gerade rechtzeitig am Tag der Beerdigung angekommen, scheint bis auf Ushios Abwesenheit zunächst alles wie früher. Ihre Todesumstände jedoch kommen Shinpei sehr sonderbar vor: Nicht nur soll die sonst ausgezeichnete Schwimmerin bei dem Versuch, die junge Shiori Kobayakawa zu retten, ertrunken sein; zusätzlich sind um ihren Hals herum merkwürdige Verletzungen sichtbar, die auf eine andere Todesursache schließen lassen. Und als wäre das noch nicht genug, verschwindet Shiori direkt am nächsten Morgen – mitsamt ihrer ganzen Familie! Shinpei und Mio beschließen, einmal bei der verschwundenen Familie vorbeizuschauen, und auf ihrer Suche werden sie auch fündig. Allerdings treffen sie nicht auf die kleine Shiori, sondern auf … Mio?! Oder besser gesagt: ihren Schatten! Dieser sieht zwar genau so süß und unschuldig aus wie Mios wahres Ich, macht aber mit den beiden kurzen Prozess. Was wie das Ende einer Geschichte klingt, ist jedoch gerade erst der Anfang, denn im nächsten Moment befindet sich Shinpei wieder auf der Fähre in Richtung Hitogashima …
Un’antica leggenda di Hitogashima, una piccola isola con poche migliaia di abitanti, narra che esistono esseri che assumono l’aspetto e la personalità di una persona per poi farla sparire di nascosto. Si chiamano ombre e, una volta eliminate le vittime, si suppone che queste continuino a vivere normalmente al loro posto, come se nulla fosse accaduto. Ma gli abitanti di Hitogashima imparano ben presto che questa leggenda potrebbe essere più di quanto si pensi.

Dopo la morte dei genitori, Shinpei Ajiro è stato cresciuto dalla famiglia Kofune. Ha sempre avuto un buon rapporto con le due sorellastre, Ushio e Mio, ma dopo le scuole medie ha lasciato Hitogashima per frequentare un liceo a Tokyo. Tuttavia, quando un giorno gli giunge la notizia della morte improvvisa di Ushio, torna immediatamente a casa. Arrivato in tempo per il giorno del funerale, all’inizio tutto sembra uguale, a parte l’assenza di Ushio. Tuttavia, le circostanze della sua morte sembrano molto strane a Shinpei: non solo si dice che l’eccellente nuotatrice sia annegata mentre cercava di salvare la giovane Shiori Kobayakawa, sono inoltre visibili strane ferite intorno al collo, che suggeriscono un’altra causa di morte. Come se non bastasse, Shiori scompare la mattina dopo, insieme a tutta la sua famiglia!

Shinpei e Mio decidono di fare visita alla famiglia scomparsa e trovano quello che cercano. Tuttavia, non trovano la piccola Shiori, ma … Mio! O meglio: la sua ombra! Sebbene abbia l’aspetto dolce e innocente della vera Mio, si occupa in breve tempo dei due. Quella che sembra la fine di una storia è solo l’inizio, perché un attimo dopo Shinpei è di nuovo sul traghetto diretto a Hitogashima …
