Hello Fellow Readers
I was ready for mystery and horror but what I got was confusion. Summertime Rendering was a little hard to follow as the story progressed, more and more things kept happening, but there wasn't an explanation for why. I think Tanaka was trying do was have the reader discover things as the protagonist Ushio did but like him I was just lost the entire time.
I will say that while I did not like the over sexualization of all the female characters, the art style was good and the shadows were creepy as well. I do like the ending to this and it makes me actually want to read the second volume.
Overall, a rough start that hopefully gets better with the second volume
