EPISODE REVIEWS

her sister barging in at the very end was the only thing that actually saved yuki from akira
sanji_savant
I really struggled with how they handled the scene in the bedroom, because Yuki clearly looked up to Akira, and he just saw her as a target. It felt like a massive betrayal of her trust and even for an older OVA the tone shift was just jarring. I was glad her sister finally showed up to stop him.

that bedroom scene with akira made the whole summer setting feel totally dark and unpleasant
byakuya_of_the_dreams_253
i felt so bad for yuki during that bedroom scene because she really trusted that guy and he turned out to be a monster
chibiusa
akira is such a scumbag for trying that with yuki when she was just trying to be nice to him
menomaru
The 80s aesthetic for the beach scenes was cool, but the actual plot with the sister was pretty dark, and hard to swallow.
shunseui_sensei_466
I couldn't get over how Akira just flipped like that on Yuki when she was already struggling with her feelings for her sisters boyfriend
kikwi_294
This had a much more realistic look than the other parts and it made the messed up stuff with Akira feel a lot heavier
professor_sada
My skin was crawling when Akira cornered her because that whole situation felt way too real compared to the usual fantasy tropes in this show
sailor_neptune
Seeing a simple schoolgirl crush turn into an attempted assault was a brutal turn for a summer episode and it made the whole triangle feel poisoned
shun
The way this series just jumps from gothic horror to a grounded summer love triangle is wild and the tonal shift here really caught me off guard
sailor_iron_mouse
Yuki deserved way better than a creep like Akira and that scene in the room was actually disgusting
cere_cere_388
You expect something a bit more lighthearted given the title, but Akira makes this one incredibly dark and uncomfortable. Seeing him take advantage of Yuki like that just because he knew she had a crush on him was a lot to handle, and it feels really different from the usual crazy sci-fi stuff they usually do in the other chapters.
l_mystery
Akira is absolute trash for doing that to his girlfriends sister and it makes this episode so hard to watch even for an old school ova
bakugo_blast_122
I really liked the vintage animation style in this one and it felt way more grounded than the space stuff from before even if the plot was super messed up
guru_guru_275
Watching Yuki deal with both brothers was uncomfortable but that soundtrack at the end helped smooth things over
sasuke_shadow_62
That ending song really gave the whole episode a different feel and it was surprisingly catchy
jun_jun_389
I actually felt bad for Yuki because that love triangle with the neighbor and his brother was just a mess
kawauso_knight_43
The music in the final scene sounded like something straight out of a Disney movie and it was so weirdly beautiful for this kind of show
mimikyaun
Yuki stuck in the middle of those two brothers was so awkward and that ending music really set a mood
EPISODE CONTEXT
Positioned as episode nine of thirty-eight, Happening Summer arrives after Episode 8's coming-of-age exploration and serves as an emotional interlude before the series pivots sharply in tone. It functions as a connective bridge, grounding viewers in character-focused relationship drama ahead of Episode 10, Star Trap, which shifts gears entirely into sci-fi territory with new characters and settings. Within Cream Lemon's anthology structure, this episode represents the series at its most interpersonally focused before genre variety reasserts itself.
