Natsu wa Konu
夏は来ぬ
A series of standalone stories, each with distinct characters and settings, explores various themes through brief, episodic narratives. The first entry focuses on a man waiting for summer that never arrives, while another follows a woman with a calm and reflective nature. A third story introduces a historical figure known for her beauty, and another centers on a group of people in a remote mountain village. Additional tales involve a young man traveling to the edge of the earth, a boy named Semimaru, and a story about a mouse. One entry deals with a mysterious program, while another examines the life of a cat and the simple happiness of ordinary people. The series concludes with a second installment of the first story, continuing the man's quiet anticipation.
