Thirteen-year-old Yasaka is a boy staying at his grandfather's house during his summer vacation. One day he entered a store and met Arashi, a beautiful sixteen-year old girl working there. After trying to protect her from a man who claims to have been hired by her family to take her back by force, Yasaka ran away with her and now she stays at his grandpa's place with him. It didn't take much time for Yasaka to figure out that his new friend is far from an ordinary girl, as she possesses mysterious powers. The plot thickens when he finds a sixty-year-old picture of Arashi and another girl named Kaja, and to the surprise of all Kaja suddenly appears, and just like Arashi, her appearance hasn't changed at all since then.

Where it came from
Natsu no Arashi! was produced by studio Shaft and released in 2009, based on the manga series by Jin Kobayashi. The narrative follows a group of junior high school students who encounter a time-traveling ghost from the Second World War era. Directed by Akiyuki Shinbo, the series utilizes the studio's signature surreal aesthetic, characterized by unconventional framing, high-contrast color palettes, and rapid-fire visual transitions that bridge the gap between historical melancholy and adolescent comedy.
The production is notable for its deliberate attempt to balance the heavy themes of wartime loss with the lighthearted, often chaotic energy typical of Kobayashi's work. Critics at the time noted the series for its visual experimentation, which served to distance the show from standard slice-of-life tropes. While it remains a niche entry in Shaft’s filmography, it is frequently cited by enthusiasts of the studio's mid-2000s output as a prime example of their experimental approach to adapting character-driven manga into stylized, atmospheric television.
