Synopsis of Summer Pockets
The story is set on an isolated, rural, and peaceful island in the Seto Inland Sea, called Torishirojima, which has a population of approximately 2,000 people. The protagonist is Hairi Takahara, a young man who is not native to the island. Hairi grew up in an urban environment, but after an unpleasant incident, she uses her grandmother's recent death as an excuse to come to the island to take over the sale of her property. Once there, he meets four girls who are the center of the story.
These girls include Shiroha Naruse, who forgot about her summer vacation; Ao Sorakado, who pursues the legends of the island; Kamome Kushima, an upper-class girl looking for a pirate ship; and Tsumugi Wnders, a younger girl who seeks to find herself.
