The first Summer Pockets episode, titled ‘Welcome to Torishirojima Island,’ saw Hairi Takahara arrive at Torishirojima to assist his aunt Kyoko Misaki in organizing his late grandmother’s belongings. While adjusting to the island, he experiences a strange familiarity with his surroundings.

After getting lost on his scooter that night, he meets a girl named Shiroha at the elementary school pool. The next day, he encounters Umi, his lively housemate, a tree-sleeping girl with a pet, and others. That evening, he returns to the pool and gives Shiroha swimming advice.

Summer Pockets Episode 2 will see Hairi learn that islanders refer to visitors as “migratory people” and customarily welcome them. The island’s energetic youth group includes shirtless enthusiast Ryouichi Mitani, water gun wielder Miki Nomura, and ping pong devotee Tenzan Kanou.

This group will organize a welcome party for him. During the event, he will see the girl he helped under the tree again, named Ao Sorami. While enjoying the lively island life, Hairi will become increasingly curious about Shiroha, who continues to keep her distance from the others.
