Waiting in the Summer/Heartwarming

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Episode 9 has Ichika telling Kaito that the kiss they just shared was actually the 4th for her. Then she proceeds to enumerate the first 3 (in the dam accident, when Kai passed out at his house and when he dived to save her from the fall in episode 8). And when Kai, undestandably surprised, mutters "How unromantic...", she grabs his face and softly says "This is the fifth". Guess what happens then.
  • The finale (Episode 11) has everything looking like Ichika will never be able to return to earth, and Kaito forced to live on with her in his heart until you get to the very final scene of the cast's high school, where a new batch of students are discussing "that movie our senpais left behind", leaving us to remember the movie that Remon left behind for the cast after she "transfers" to another "school" - she's really an MIB agent. That is, until the last second, where the playing film is a new one, and Ichika has returned to earth, explaining that her ship has broken again. The series ends with Ichika smiling at the camera.
