Summertime Rendering is when you take Erased, mix it in with some brutal kills, and add a bit of a supernatural entity trying to take over (maybe destroy) the world.

Shinpei returns back to his hometown which is on a island, perfect set up for some horror elements, and upon returning runs into his childhood friend who was basically like a sister to him though she might have some feelings for him. And when I say feelings, I mean she wanna get it on with him. But this is manga so let's goooooooooooo-- I mean, ick.

And anyway, he's returning on a not so happy occasion, his childhood friend is dead. And Ushio (the girl who passed) sister is the one crushing on him. Either way it starts off as a goodbye to their sister/friend when all of a sudden someone comes into the picture and begins murdering people and then BAM...we're back to the same moment Shinpei is coming back to the island.

A Do over.

A groundhog day.

A erased.

Now Shinpei MUST discover what really happen. what are these shadows that act as doppelgangers. Who is killing people. Why!?

The mystery itself is intriguing. I do want to know who and why this is happening. The characters are good though a bit cliché, and Shinpei can be kind of a idiot while also being really smart at times. Guess that's how it goes. I will say the kills are BRUTAL as hell. Some really screwed up deaths for sure.

One thing I think is a bit off is the pacing, it's iffy at times with the exposition going to heavy at moments.

But overall I'm interested in more. Probably around a 3.5 but I'll bump it to a 4.
