Summer Pockets is a Spring 2025 anime adapted from the visual novel by Key, known for emotional works like Clannad and Air. Although Jun Maeda did not write the scenarios, the series retains a familiar atmosphere while presenting a distinct story. Set on the Torishiro Island, it follows high schooler Hairi Takahara, who visits during summer break.

Immersed in the island’s tranquil life, Hairi meets several unique girls—each searching for something personal. Through these encounters, new friendships form, and Hairi begins to wish that this fleeting summer would never end.
