Hazuki may be near-sighted, but he knows true beauty when he sees it and the delicate form of flower shop owner Rokka draws him in like a bee to honey. So, hoping to cultivate a relationship between them, Hazuki takes a part time job at her shop, only to discover two huge thorns preventing the nurturing of any romance. The first, the fact that Rokka is still grieving for her late husband Shimao, would be enough to snip most men's ardor short, but it's the second that really threatens to make Hazuki's forlorn hopes wilt. Because while Shimao is most definitely deceased, he hasn't yet departed and his spirit is still living in Rokka's apartment! Except only Hazuki can see him, which leads to a very strange romantic triangle indeed. Are Hazuki's chances with Rokka as dead as the man who still lives in her house? Or can he somehow make love blossom even though there's an interloper pushing up the daisies between them?

Where it came from
Natsuyuki Rendezvous was produced by studio Doga Kobo and aired in 2012 as an adaptation of the josei manga by Haruka Kawachi. The series follows a young man who begins working at a flower shop, only to discover that the store owner is a widow haunted by the ghost of her late husband. This project marked a distinct departure for Doga Kobo, shifting away from their typical focus on slice-of-life comedy to explore themes of grief, memory, and the complexities of adult romance through a supernatural lens.
The visual aesthetic was directed by Kō Matsuo, who aimed to translate Kawachi's refined and emotive art style into an atmospheric animation format. The series is noted for its evocative color palettes and emphasis on floral motifs, which serve as metaphors for the characters' internal emotional states. Upon release, it was praised by critics for its maturity and restrained storytelling, standing out as a poignant entry in the romance genre that focuses on the quiet, lingering impact of loss rather than typical dramatic tropes.
