Summer Break Point

Four years ago, Aoi Minami walked away from tennis after a sudden illness claimed the life of her doubles partner and childhood best friend, Mirai. Now sixteen, she drifts through high school like a ghost—her sketchbook filled with unfinished drawings of the past, her racket gathering dust in the closet.

Everything changes when Haru Tachibana, a mysterious transfer student, arrives with a playing style eerily reminiscent of Mirai’s. Dragged back onto the court by his relentless optimism, Aoi must confront the grief she’s buried for years. But Haru has secrets of his own—ones that tie him to Mirai’s past and challenge everything Aoi thought she knew about love, loss, and second chances.
