Why You Should Watch/Read Summer Time Rendering
Animeverse is full of the rich diversity in shonen anime tropes. Japanese and western lovers of anime always seek some newness in an anime from the action genre. In the past few years, some great shonen anime has come to the forefront. The spring of 2022 is accompanied with release of several impressive titles in anime with impressive shows that light up the screens of every otaku. Among popular releases like Spy x Family, Love After World Domination, and Komi Can’t Communicate Season 2, we also have an underrated anime title release called Summer Time Rendering.
For those people who are looking up for reasons why you should watch/read Summer Time Rendering, we have your back. Summer Time Rendering originally appeared in the Shueisha digital magazine Shonen Jump+ from October 2017 to February 2021. This is the creation by Japanese manga artist and illustrator Yasuki Tanaka. The popularity of manga within Japan led to the creation of anime television series and an escape video game (all set to be released in 2023). It also has a manga alternatively titled Summer Time Rendering 2026: The Room that Dreams of Murder
The only limitation of this grand anime is that it has only been released in Japan so far. Western audiences might have to access it through other mediums or else wait for it to go overboard with sub and dub versions. The first season of anime production released in 2022 has a total of 25 episodes. Hailing from the mystery shonen genre it stands out among contemporary releases. But is Summertime Rendering worth watching or reading?
Firstly, have a look at the plot. Shinpei Ajiro is the tragic struck main lead of the story. The mystery of the anime/manga revolves around the unfortunate death of the main characters’ close confidants. The strange incidents that transpire within the plot deepen as more people disappear and a dark reality of the island that Shinpei belongs to resurfaces. The job of finding the answer to the mystery lies with Shinpei.
The Summertime Rendering manga version can be easily found on the Internet and the official publisher’s site. The manga has several reasons to make you stay up all night and read through the pages.
Suspense building and mystery
Summer Time Rendering is high on suspense building and mystery. The successive chapters and volumes of the manga prove to be an engaging read because it focuses evidently on the mysterious elements. From the very first page, the events of the suspense manga unfold frantically into chaos. Shinpei is at the center of the mystery. The story progresses to add on some strange appearances in the very normal world of the manga.
Spiderweb of Storylines
Aside from suspense, there is a lot of complexity in Summertime Rendering. The sequences within the story are placed in a dramatic order that makes it almost impossible to leave it midway. One thing leading on to another within the life of Shinpei troubles the reader until they reach the story’s end. That pretty much sums up the character of a great mystery manga. The story requires undivided attention at certain spots to understand some chapters and the story hidden in them. The main characters’ superhuman abilities that appear out of nowhere make it difficult to put things together in place.
Revelations and structured strangeness
The manga has an unusual mix of secrets and structured strangeness. The manga chapters lay out the circumstances and add events within the story in an engaging way. The detailed illustrations that lead off to the dark aspects of the story encounter some gruesome deaths. While every revelation is accompanied by shock and the little clues hidden in subsequent chapters take Shinpei and readers’ effort to decode the mystery. The chaotic environment stemming from the appearance of strange alien like characters called shadows makes the manga a nail-biting adventure.
Noteworthy art and action
Summer Time Rendering has a decent illustrative goodness. Some of the action sequences in volume second of the manga leave the readers baffled. The precise paneling and violence thriving in the story hold onto your attention. The art in the manga debatably upgrades and degrades in quality over successive volumes. Nonetheless, it has a subtle captivating charm to it specifically in the violent sequences. It may not be the best-illustrated manga but is surely pleasing with its aesthetic.
In the case of Summer Time Rendering, manga is more popular than anime due to its easy accessibility. This powerful supernatural mystery is yet to find its preserved place among western audiences with subtitled releases. Studio OLM handles the conversion of this manga into anime. And the suspense mystery instantly became the highlight of the season in 2022.
Equates the thrill and mystery of the manga
According to the unpopular opinion, the animes lack the quality of manga in replication. However, in recent times anime productions have proved to be even better than the source manga. The Summer Time Rendering anime equates to the amount of thrill and mystery that the manga contains. Because it closely follows the story of the reference read it is equally engaging. Additionally. the time travel elements look better in visuals and the mystery gets intensified.
Unpredictability is the core element
By far Summer Time Rendering, is the most layered anime story I have ever come across. Whenever the viewers think to take the story is reaching the end there is a new twist waiting ahead. From start till the end the story upholds the multiple mystery elements. An animated version of Yasuki Tanaka’s story gives an overall experience of overflowing excitement.
Simple Characters
Which distractions in the form of out of the ordinary visuals the characters are created with simplicity. There are several fan favorite characters in Summer Time Rendering. The main character is calm and composed and is the foil to the headstrong character of Ushio (side character/childhood crush of mc). The simplicity of the characters is maintained solely to keep the viewer’s undivided attention towards every piece of information provided. Even the character interactions are subtle with a reason behind everything that’s said and done.
OLM nails the animation
Studio OLM replicates its massive success in the world of anime adaptations with Summertime Rendering. It adds the characteristic rustic charm of lush sceneries and ocean backdrops for the Hitogashima island. An excellent job has been done on the framing and detailing of the anime. The gradient use of colors is soothing and aesthetically high in value.
Summer Time Rendering surpasses excellence in both the visual and the written form. The supernatural elements coupled with mysterious time travel forces the readers/ viewers to move along with the story. It received a solid 8.25 rating that testifies to its brilliance. Also, without how much popularity with the western audience and tough competition this series has garnered a decent virtual fandom.
Summer Time Rendering is both worth reading and watching. If you can’t get your hands on the anime version wait for the mainstream platforms to bring it to you. Till the time you can enjoy the upcoming manga version of the page-turner Summer Time Rendering available online.
