Summer Time Rendering
Summer Time Rendering (Japanese: サマータイムレンダ, Hepburn: Samā Taimu Renda), also written as Summertime Rendering, is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yasuki Tanaka. It was serialized on Shueisha's digital magazine Shōnen Jump+ from October 2017 to February 2021, with its chapters collected in thirteen tankōbon volumes. An anime television series adaptation produced by OLM aired from April to September 2022. A real escape game and a video game have also been released, and a live-action project has been announced.
Summer Time Rendering takes place in Hitogashima, a fictional island based on Tomogashima located in Kitan Strait in Wakayama Prefecture. While Tomogashima itself is an uninhabited island, Tanaka imagined how it might have been if it were an inhabited island.
In the story, Hitogashima is set as an island with a population of about 700 people. The village is depicted based on the Kada district of Wakayama City and Ogijima in Kagawa Prefecture. The places names in Hitogashima, such as "Takanosuyama" and "Torajima", are taken from the real Tomogashima.
The Shadows (影, Kage) are mysterious creatures similar to Doppelgängers, who act as the main antagonist of the story. They are able to copy the appearance and memories of humans, impersonate them, and then try to kill them and take their place. They are also able to copy inanimate objects, to some limitations. These creatures are led by Hiruko, a god enshrined in Hito Shrine that they call "mother".
Following the death of his parents, Shinpei Ajiro grew up with the Kofune sisters, Ushio and Mio, before heading to Tokyo to live alone. Two years later, on July 22, 2018, he returns to his hometown of Hitogashima to attend Ushio's funeral, following news of her drowning. However, Shinpei becomes suspicious when he receives news of strangle marks around Ushio's neck, implying that she was murdered. Mio confessed to Shinpei that a few days before Ushio's death, the sisters met Ushio's doppelgänger, something that the locals dub as "Shadow", a legend passed down at the island. Assisted by Mio, Shinpei tries to find the answers to what really happened to Ushio and possibly save the residents from a strange dark enigma.
Written and illustrated by Yasuki Tanaka, Summer Time Rendering, was serialized in Shueisha's digital magazine Shōnen Jump+ from October 23, 2017, to February 1, 2021. The series was also simultaneously published on the app and website Manga Plus. Shueisha collected its chapters in 13 individual tankōbon volumes, released from February 2, 2018, to April 2, 2021.
In North America, the manga was licensed for English release by Udon Entertainment. They released the series in a six-volume paperback omnibus edition from June 1 to September 6, 2022. They also announced a simultaneous hardcover edition which was delayed, and ultimately released on December 20, 2022.
A two-part spin-off, titled Summer Time Rendering 2026: The Room that Dreams of Murder (サマータイムレンダ2026 未然事故物件, Samā Taimu Renda 2026 Mizen Jikobukken), was published on Shōnen Jump+ on April 14–15, 2022. It was published in English on Manga Plus. Shueisha released the collected volume on July 4, 2022.
