Minami and Hideaki once shared a secret, passionate summer at a remote beach house. Torn apart by fate, they lived separate lives for five years. Unable to move on, Minami returns to the scene of their past, only to find Hideaki a broken shell of his former self. As old flames reignite, the two are pulled back into a cycle of raw, desperate longing.




















The summer beach photo on the cover is absolutely stunning. Also, the title 'Summer Days' feels so romantic and tasteful. The story is romantic and wonderful, too. Plus, both Rui Saotome and Taito Tsukino are gorgeous, which was a treat. Rui's beach outfit was so fresh and cute.
It consists of the main story and a spin-off, 'after summer days.' While some cast members overlap, there doesn't seem to be much connection between them. The main leads are Rui Saotome and Taito Tsukino. The actress does a good job distinguishing between a 'young girl' and a 'mature woman,' but the actor's performance is generally so poor that it's painful to watch. There's no hardcore AV-style action, but as a drama, the content is just right. 'after summer days' features Sana and Ittetsu (Ittetsu Suzuki), but the actress's performance is a bit too syrupy; I think I would have preferred a cooler actress.
*It feels like it's made just for women. If you incorporate AV-like play that can be found anywhere, the work will become meaningless, so it is better to maintain the stance that this woman can enjoy watching it.
*Therefore, Karami is soft. Dramas have a common feel, but they seem authentic, so if there was a great karami, there would probably be more works in this genre, but with the content of the karami, there is little hope.
