Summertime Rendering is a story of doppelgangers and what to do when they want to take over your life. I thought the fast-paced sequences were interesting and kept the reader on their toes about what would happen next. There was definitely a lot of gore which feels as if it contradicts the cover. If I didn't know what the series was about before diving into it, I would have assumed it was about teens on a swim team. It's not if you were wondering.

Spoiler

The characters were all teens with complicated relationships with one another. I definitely felt weird about Mio liking her brother-like figure and also how it felt like they wanted to sexualize Mio by showing her take a shower. I think without that, the story would have been much better for me.

I'm really hoping that in the later volumes, the characters will be more fleshed out. I know it's only volume one, but I didn't really love any of the characters nor felt like I knew them. I suppose it needed to jam-pack as much information as it could while still keeping up with the fast-paced thrill of seeing people get stabbed. Regardless, I'll give the next volume a go to see if I'll be sticking with the series.

This book was so unexpected in the best way possible. The illustrations are amazing. I'm so ready to go through this manga series. The plot is so interesting. So glad I picked this up and you will be too!
