The
romantic drama collected in four volumes tells the story of a love
triangle between Hazuki,
a young man who works part time at a flower store, Rokka, the widow
who owns the store, and the ghost of Shimao,
Rokka's deceased husband. (Source:

As
a josei adaptation and a noitaminA show, Natsuyuki
Rendezvous/夏雪ランデブー
was pretty
much the only show this season I was really looking forward to. I
didn't even know the full gist of the series before adding it to my
to-watch list, not even the big fact that one of the members of this
atypical love triangle is deceased.
But I think going into the series
somewhat ignorant of the bigger plot points only enhanced my
enjoyment of it. If there's a serious contender for best, most mature
series of this summer – a season that is historically lackluster in
quality – then Natsuyuki is certainly aiming for the gold.
Did
I mention it's a josei romance with a ghost? Because awesome.
