Shizuku is a shy girl who hardly talks to other people. Instead, she loses herself in creative writing, crafting a novel that she never plans to show anyone. But when Kaori–Shizuku’s cute, popular classmate–gets her hands on Shizuku’s manuscript, everything changes. Kaori is a huge fan, and suggests that Shizuku can get inspiration for her writing if the two of them start dating! Can these very different young ladies create their own love story together?

Read the full take
The Summer You Were There is a quiet story about the things we keep private. Shizuku is a shy girl who writes in secret, and her private world begins to open up in unexpected ways. The series is patient and introspective, letting the relationship develop through small, careful moments rather than grand gestures. The writing is thoughtful, and the emotions feel honest rather than melodramatic. The art is delicate, and it suits the mood. The main trade-off is the heavy themes. The story deals with difficult emotional territory, and readers who are not in the mood for that may find it hard going. The pace is slow and introspective too, so it asks for patience. Still, it's a moving, beautifully handled yuri story with real depth. If you want something tender that stays with you, this is one of the best in its space.
