Title: Dive into the Nostalgic World of the New Summer Pockets Anime in 2025

The highly anticipated TV anime adaptation of Summer Pockets, the beloved visual novel by Key and Visual Arts, premiered on April 7, 2025, and it’s already making waves! Set on the picturesque Torishirojima Island in the Seto Inland Sea, this 2025 summer anime brings a heartfelt story of nostalgia, friendship, and unforgettable memories. If you’re an anime fan searching for a fresh, emotional journey, Summer Pockets is a must-watch!

A Story of Summer and Sentiment
Summer Pockets follows Hairi Takahara, a young man escaping a troubled past after his grandmother’s passing. Arriving on Torishirojima to handle her estate, he encounters four unique girls: Shiroha Naruse, Ao Sorakado, Kamome Kushima, and Tsumugi Wenders. Each heroine brings her own charm, from Shiroha’s quiet gaze at the sea to Kamome’s quirky suitcase-skating adventures. Directed by Tomoki Kobayashi at studio Feel, with scripts by Keiichirō Ōchi and character designs by Mai Otsuka, the anime runs for two cours, promising deep exploration of their stories.

Why It Stands Out
Fans of Key’s works like Clannad and Little Busters! will love the blend of humor, heart, and mystery. Konomi Suzuki’s opening “Alkatale” and ending “Lasting Moment” set the tone, echoing the visual novel’s emotional roots. The 2018 game and its 2020 Reflection Blue expansion inspired this adaptation, and early episodes hint at a slow-burn buildup to big reveals.
