_Summer (アンダーバーサマー, Andābā Samā), also known as Underbar Summer, is a Japanese adult visual novel developed by Hooksoft which was released on July 15, 2005, playable on Windows as a CD; a PlayStation 2 consumer console port called _Summer## followed on August 24, 2006, by GN Software. An updated version of the original game, called _Summer Renewal Edition (_Summer新装版, _Summer Shinsōban), which is compatible up to Windows Vista as a DVD, was released on December 21, 2007.

The gameplay in _Summer follows a plot line which offers pre-determined scenarios with courses of interaction, and focuses on the appeal of the six female main characters. The story revolves around Takumi Kaizu, who after years of making good friends, many of whom are female, is asked by his best male friend Osamu Funada if he likes anyone. With his last summer in high school quickly approaching, Takumi decides to find someone to like by the end of summer vacation. _Summer has had overall well received sales, premiering as the most sold bishōjo game in Japan during the first half of July in 2005, and would go on to chart twice more.

_Summer has made several transitions into other media, such as a mini four-panel web comic, a manga one-shot published in Kadokawa Shoten's Comp Ace magazine, and four character light novels written by Jōji Kamio. An illustrated story titled _Summer## Official Illust Story was serialized in MediaWorks' Dengeki G's Magazine. A two-episode original video animation was produced; the two DVDs were released on October 27, 2006, and January 26, 2007. Several drama CDs were released based on the game, including one released as a prologue to the OVA.

Gameplay

[edit]
Example of what average conversation looks like in _Summer. Here, Takumi is talking with Konami.

_Summer is a romance visual novel in which the player assumes the role of Takumi Kaizu.[1] The gameplay requires little interaction from the player as most of the duration of the game is spent on simply reading the text that appears on the screen; this text represents either dialogue between the various characters, or the inner thoughts of the protagonist. Every so often, the player will come to a "decision point" and must choose from options that are displayed on the screen, typically two to three at a time.

During these times, gameplay pauses until a choice is made that furthers the plot in a specific direction, depending on which choice the player makes. There are six main plot lines that the player will have the chance to experience, one for each of the heroines in the story. In order to view the six plot lines to their entirety, the player will have to replay the game multiple times and choose different choices during the decision points in order to further the plot in an alternate direction.

Throughout gameplay, there are scenes depicting Kyōtarō and a given heroine having sex.[2] However, in the PlayStation 2 port, these scenes are removed. The visual novel also features real-time choices (RTC), this is when the player given a choice within a time period, and varying on the amount of time the player takes to make the choice, it will effect the ensuing dialogue.[3]

Plot

[edit]

Story and setting

[edit]

_Summer's story takes place in a small seaside town during the summer,[1] where Takumi Kaizu is a normal high school student enjoying his final year in school with the rest of his friends.[1] Over the years, he has made good memories with these friends of his, most of whom are girls, though apparently still have no overt feelings of attraction towards any of them.[1] There are six main potential love interests presented to Takumi in _Summer; they are Konami Hatano, Shino Ebizuka, Sana Kaizu, Chiwa Amano, Wakana Shimazu, and Hinako Nanao.[1]

Konami is the kind and timid childhood friend of Takumi, and the main heroine.[4] She will come to Takumi's house in the morning and prepare breakfast for him.[4] As a contrast to Konami's gentle personality, her female friend Shino is rough and hot-tempered, but protective of Konami.[5] Takumi has a younger stepsister called Sana, an energetic, fun-loving girl, if not a little lazy for being unable to wake up in the morning without Takumi.[5] Sana has a best friend called Chiwa, a mysterious and very strange girl, who is known to be unpredictable.[6] An upperclassman called Wakana has an immense crush on Takumi, despite her popularity with boys due to her beauty and elegant personality.[7] The homeroom teacher of Takumi, named Hinako, will often be seen trying to find free food because of her money wasting.[8]

When Takumi is asked by his best male friend Osamu Funada if he likes anyone, Takumi starts to think about it though is still confused on what to do next.[1] With his last summer in high school quickly approaching, Takumi decides to find someone to like by the end of summer vacation.[1] Takumi slowly starts to take a romantic interest in the girls around him, while his friend Osamu relentlessly searches for a girlfriend as well.[1]

Development and release

[edit]

Makako Matsuhita and Racco worked as the character designers and illustrators for the game,[16] while Mujin Kawanami and Celsior were the scenario writers, but primarily Mujin.[16] Rohei Yamane mostly took charge of graphics,[16] however, Uto Yakamoto and Mitsuki assisted in this.[16] Uto also worked as the event planner.[16] All art was directed by Radio Fish (officially written as RADiO FiSH),[16] and Hattan handled the background coloring.[16] Music in the game was provided by Takao Matsuura,[16] and sound effects by VII.[16] Ichirouji worked as the programmer,[16] and Noah Kuroki handled the editing.[16] Kei took the job of being the general manager,[16] and Akira Asami was the game's producer.[16] The chief writer of the game, Mujin Kawanami, also worked as the director, and Yoshimi Kuze takes credit as the voice director.[16]

_Summer is self-described as a "laid-back school romance love comedy adventure game" (まったり純恋学園ラブコメADV, Mattari Jun Koi Gakuen Rabu Kome ADV), according to Hooksoft.[17] _Summer was released in Japan on July 15, 2005, as a CD-ROM playable on Windows.[18] A version for the PlayStation 2 with adult content removed, called _Summer## (アンダーバーサマー ダブルシャープ, Andābā Samā Daburu Shāpu, read as Underbar Summer Double Sharp), was developed by GN Software and released in Japan on August 24, 2006, in limited and regular editions.[19][20][21] The limited edition PS2 release came bundled with a drama CD, a cell phone strap featuring Konami Hatano, and a double-sided hug pillowcase, also featuring Konami.[22] The PS2 version was re-released at a cheaper price on October 4, 2007.[23] An updated version of the original game, called _Summer Renewal Edition (_Summer新装版, _Summer Shinsōban), which is compatible up to Windows Vista as a DVD, was released on December 21, 2007.[24]

Before the visual novel's official release, a four-panel web comic illustrated by Haruka Ogataya began serialization on Hooksoft's official website from April 27 to July 4, 2005.[25] These and Like Life's comic strips were later published in the MTG corner of Enterbrain's Tech Gian magazine.[26] In the comic, characters are drawn to give the appearance of chibis. A one-shot manga illustrated by Kankiriko for _Summer was published by Kadokawa Shoten and was published in the Japanese video game magazine Comp Ace in its June 2005 issue.[27][28]

There have been four erotic character light novels based on the game written by Japanese author Jōji Kamio and illustrated by Araiguma, published by Softgarage under their Sofgare Novels imprint.[29] Cover illustrations for all four volumes were by Makako Matsushita.[29][30] The first novel covers Konami,[29] the second covers both Chiwa and Sana,[29] the third covers Shino and Wakana,[29] and the fourth is a general novel titled Omnibus.[30] The first novel was released on October 14, 2005,[29] and the final novel was released on September 25, 2006.[30] A six-chapter illustrated story of _Summer##, titled _Summer## Official Illust Story, was serialized in MediaWorks' Dengeki G's Magazine between the March and August 2006 issues.[31][32] There would be one chapter per issue focusing on a different heroine. It was written by Mujin Kawanami, also the chief writer for the game, and illustrated by two artists, Makako Matsuhita and Racco, who worked as the illustrators for the game.[27]
