First, I thought that this manga is all about romance, slice of life, drama and typically harem stories that I've read, probably because of it's artstyle or probably because it has the same feeling to it. I just thought that this manga will bore me to death--but I was wrong! Story: 9 This is probably one of the best manga I've read in 2021, just because the plot ain't boring at all, the characters are not stupid and really explaining the loop thing and even their plan in fighting the shadows, which I like. I really like how the dimension thingy and how they really usethe loop power that the mc has. It will definitely hooked you up in reading this story, they'll put a lot of questions and 'what the hell is happening' emotion but It will all make sense in the ending, which they really explain. I'm glad that it did not disappoint me throughout the series. Art: 9 The story is good and even the art style! I really really love the fighting scenes in the manga, it is detailed and really felt every grain of emotion on what they want to convey. character: 9 All of them is great, they're character is really established and really well written, probably my favorite character is sensei(sorry forgot her name) she is really written well, even the side characters is also not stupid and just freaking shouting their names--they actually help to the main characters which is kerayzeee! I was absolutely crying because there's a lot of character development especially the mc, he knows what he was doing and being able to create a plan by learning to his past self! Enjoyment: 9 Girl, I actually prioritize this manga then my studies, i don't think I have to explain that. Overall: 9 It is a great rollercoaster ride on this manga, It bloody shot my head in so many theories and science shit but i really enjoyed it and i guessed that's the most important, enjoying the manga. There's a lot of recoil moments that I've done and just mindblown experience in this manga, mainly because i like how they explain it. Will i recommend it? Hell yeah, 1000/10. Such a great manga. It's a not just that i can control time so its okay for me to die anyway cuz ill revive--bitchh! NO! The loop is to complicated to my brain so just read it to understand. that's all tenchu!
After his parents died, Shinpei Ajiro lived with the Kofune sisters, Mio and Ushio, but he has since moved to live on his own in Tokyo. But after Ushio drowns while trying to save the young Shiori Kobayakawa, he returns home to mourn her departure. However, bruises around Ushio's neck bring her cause of death into question. Taking a step back, Shinpei becomes convinced there must be another explanation. Dangerous entities roam among the islanders, and a vision of deceased Ushio asks him to "save Mio" as her final request. He is certain that something is afoot—and Ushio's death is only a piece of the puzzle. With the help of Mio and various others, Shinpei struggles to forge a future in which he, his friends, and family can stay alive. But the more he investigates, the more impossible such a future seems. This darkness infiltrates his home island. Just how much more suffering will he go through before finding the right path to save it all? [Written by MAL Rewrite]

I have a thing for mystery narratives and the first few chapters of Summertime Render hooked me immediately. Unfortunately, the suspense built over the first third of the Manga quickly deflates as the author reveals way too much way too quickly in an effort to show the reader what the stakes of his story are. After that, Summertime Render's narrative quickly devolves into a needlessly drawn out and convoluted plot that barely leaves any real mystery to be explored, relying on the same tired Shounen tropes we have seen hundreds of times. To me, the worst offender in this regard is the way this Manga handlesits female characters. The amount of crotch shots, uncalled-for nudity and harem-esque character relations was just too much for me, making this one of the most fan-servicy Manga I've ever read (I typically avoid this stuff at all cost). The trope of a hapless male protagonist being surrounded by desirable women is eye roll-inducing to me. My distaste for these tropes may be a personal pet peeve, but, more egregiously, it is extremely creepy how often the reader is shown the semi-nude bodies of young girls and children. This seriously cheapens the story and feels beyond tasteless to me. Many people have praised the art style, but it felt just OK to me. The author is a competent Mangaka but large parts of the art of Summertime Render lack distinctiveness and have an extremely generic look and feel to them. What stands out most in this regard are the rather static character designs—while Tanaka has a knack for grotesque facial expressions, he seems completely clueless when trying to have his characters express anything other than detached stares or absolute horror (this is particularly obvious in the few scenes meant for comic relief). In addition to the protagonists being visually generic, they are severely lacking in personality, as there is hardly any meaningful character development to be found besides a very superficial romance subplot. As a result, Summer Time Render has a very hollow feel to it, since the blandness of most of its characters makes it very hard to care for them. Overall, this Manga is just slightly above average, which is disappointing as it could have been great. The action that dominates the second half is often times ungratifying and hard to follow, which stands in stark contrast to the intriguing, if not entirely original premise. It was an enjoyable read but a far cry from the real heavyweights of the mystery genre (Stein's Gate and Billy Bat come to mind).
Spoiler review So a bit of background context, I read this for the first time around 2019/2020 till chapter 100+ but then got sidetracked and had to reread from chapter 1 again in 2021 and given the action themed nature of this manga I can say it did a good job at making me interested in the story. So right from the first few chapters its clear that time travelling is involved, which reminds me of the manga 'All you need is kill' where the protagonist keeps undergoing endless loops of the same day until he manages to not get killed. This manga added a slight change toit which involved Shinpei not being able to keep endlessly looping as each time he loops several hours later as compared to the previous loop. This combined with the fact that the enemy was able to discern this weakness as well made this manga NOT about an OP protagonist, which is already a plus given the plethora of low effort OP protagonist manga today. At the start of the manga, there were more romantic elements such as Mio involved and in the later half one could tell that the author decided to focus less on these romantic elements and more of the plot instead, which is good imho as ultimately the main genre is action. The middle of the story involving both Haine and Shide vs Shinpei and his allies was exciting as the battle could go either way and at times I could really feel worried about whether Shinpei and his friends would survive given how he couldn't loop back an infinite number of times. However, during the final battle, Shide's thought process of ending the world since he couldn't continue prolonging his life seemed superficial as not much dialogue was spent on his intentions. The ending was slightly confusing one could think that they went back in time again or went to a parallel universe instead. Overall, the story was largely consistent although ending got a tad confusing with the time travelling stuff going on. Also the multiple number of loops made it hard to remember the exact sequence of the events. TLDR: Would recommend if you are into time travel stuff Tip: Take no longer than 2 days without reading this manga as the details in this manga are rather niche as it involves time travelling so its best to keep your mind fresh and read it whenever possible.
(This review may include spoilers) This is my first review I have ever wrote. After just finishing the manga, I suddenly got the need to write a review on this. Well here it goes- First I have to say I am not a big critique, and this is just my personal opinions. I have to say I couldn’t stop myself from reading the manga after seeing the first two episodes of the anime, and I am not disappointed. It is a pretty great read, I wouldn’t say it’s one of the best but was pretty enjoyable. Now let’s start with art, the artstyle is absolutely stunning, especially in thelast boss fight each panel looked really really good. Characters: The characters are very well written, they think in the way a normal person does (if you get what I mean) The MC has to be one of the best MCs I have seen. He isn’t dramatic, is objective (lol), realistic, and really damn smart. The side characters are very well done as well. They aren’t very extra and over dramatic and they act like normal people with their own personalities. And they help out the MC as well, without asking too many questions and stuff. Ushio is a very fun character added to the cast. I love the chemistry between shinpei and ushio. I would say my favorite character is sensei and her brother. Love them both! Story: the story has been a pretty wild ride. It’s not a fully breaking your head type of story. It can get you confused at times but one of the good points is that you don’t need to keep searching every corner for a clue because the characters itself will figure it out and you will know. I have to say the first part of the story was really good, but it started getting weak after. The things started dragging out a bit and that’s the reason I couldn’t give it a 10. But the overall concept is pretty interesting. But I also feel it had a lot more potential. Enjoyment: I have enjoyed this a lot, and couldn’t stop myself from reading it. Like I said it was a wild ride. The characters (especially the MC) were refreshing. The ending is satisfying. I heard they are the ending the anime in one season so if it’s like that, maybe some of the stuff won’t get dragged out but let’s see. Anyways that’s it for my review~ thanks for reading :) Edit: I realized I haven’t spoke about the villians XD I have to say the villains are well done as well, very smart. The fact that the villains are really smart as well makes it hard for the mc, so it goes back and forth which is so intense. I love the motivation of the main villain as well, even it’s not sympathetizing, I still like it tho. Emotional impact wise - I was almost at tears seeing a certain character’s death cuz it was emotional, and stuff is intense. It wasn’t thaat impactful but it does keep you at the edge of your seat at times. Now I am done lmao
