It is said that fireworks can calm the souls of the dead. For Tomoya Sugisaki, Aoi Harukawa, and Ryou Kobayashi, fireworks are what allowed them to meet the Summer Ghost. Believed to be the spirit of a young woman who committed suicide, the Summer Ghost only appears in a specific area and can only be seen by those who are within arm's reach of death. Tomoya is a creative soul being crushed by his academic obligation to get into a good university. Aoi is a meek girl who is relentlessly bullied by her classmates. Ryou is a former basketball star who had to forfeit his passion following a grim diagnosis. The only thing these three have in common is their ability to see the Summer Ghost. The Summer Ghost is said to be able to answer any and all questions pertaining to death—something the three teenagers desperately want to know more about. Dissatisfied with their initial meeting, Tomoya sets out to find the Summer Ghost once again. But the more time he spends with the ghost, the more the mystery surrounding her existence unravels.

00:30It's been a while since we all met like this.
00:39I know. Sorry we were late.
00:42It's okay. I'm just glad you could come.
00:49Man, it's summer already.
00:56Went by fast.
01:00Hi, honey.
01:19You Aoi?
01:21Oh, yeah.
01:22It's nice to meet you. I'm Tomoya Sugisaki. How are you?
01:28You guys are early. By like five minutes.
01:33Name's Ryo. Nice to meet you guys.
01:37Yeah.
01:37So, we're all here then.
01:41Uh, may as well start.
01:47First things first.
01:48Okay, we decided to meet today for one goal.
01:51To see if we can make contact with the Summer Ghost.
01:54For the last two years, there have been sightings here during the summer.
01:58They say she appears when there's fireworks.
02:01Fireworks?
02:02Yeah. Everyone who saw her had lit some.
02:06Based on accounts, she's about 20 years old.
02:09She's got long hair and wears dark clothes.
02:12So, if I had to guess, she probably looks like this.
02:15You're good.
02:16Oh, you know, she's actually quite pretty.
02:21Now, according to the rumors going around, she committed suicide.
02:32What's wrong?
02:33Uh, it's nothing.
02:35Now that I think about it, aren't ghosts, like, well, scary?
02:39You only just thought of that now.
02:42Fine.
02:43We're going, though.
02:44No, no, wait.
02:45I didn't mean I didn't want to go.
02:47Wait for me.
02:48Just pointing out, it might get scary is all.
02:51Oh, so, uh, Tomoya, what made you want to seek out the Summer Ghost?
02:55Just wondering, since you were the one who sent out the initial email.
02:58Hmm.
03:00It's a secret.
03:01What? Seriously?
03:03You tease.
03:09Sugi Saki, A, A, A, A.
03:16Okay.
03:18Grades are, of course, not a problem for you.
03:20Wish my other students were more like you.
03:25Hey.
03:27Yes?
03:30I'm counting on you.
03:39Tomoya.
03:57What's with that look?
04:00We're here.
04:09Oh, it's huge.
04:15Yeah, it used to be an airport.
04:17No one flew out of it, so they shut it down.
04:19Hey!
04:19We gonna do this thing?
04:28Do you think that it's real?
04:30Like, does the Summer Ghost actually exist?
04:32I don't know.
04:33But people say fireworks appease the spirits.
04:36I hope it reaches her.
04:48I don't think she's coming.
04:50But we let so many.
04:52Well, this is the last one.
04:54You can have it.
04:55Thanks.
05:04Tomoya.
05:05You know, I actually believed in ghosts and stuff.
05:10Too bad they don't exist.
05:12That said, this was the most fun I've had in a long time.
05:15I'm really glad I met you guys.
05:18So thanks for that.
05:28The heck?
05:31What just happened?
05:32I think she's here.
05:36Huh?
05:41Huh?
05:42Huh?
05:44Excuse me, are you the Summer Ghost?
05:47Yeah, that's me.
05:49So what is it you want?
05:51From someone like me?
05:53Someone who's dead.
05:54What?
06:08Huh?
06:08So that's right.
06:09You can't afford...
06:10I'm so sorry.
06:11Yeah.
06:12Huh?
06:15Huh?
06:16Huh?
06:16Huh?
06:17Huh?
06:18Huh?
06:18Huh?
06:19Huh?
06:20Huh?
06:20Huh?
06:20Nice aim.
06:23Yeah, she looks like a drowned rat.
06:32Get down!
06:33What are you doing?
06:34Let go of me!
06:35Stop it!
06:36She only just returned to school, and there's another incident?
06:40Makes me think that she's part of the problem.
06:50Are there still clicks and stuff when you're, like, a ghost?
06:56Well, no.
06:58Because you're basically on your own.
07:01Good to know.
07:04That would be easier.
07:06Yeah.
07:07Being with other people definitely has its pros and cons.
07:11Is something wrong?
07:13Look.
07:14The sparkler's still lit.
07:16Huh.
07:17Kinda creepy.
07:18Hey.
07:22Do you feel isolated by your classmates?
07:24Is that the reason you want to die?
07:27Not everyone is able to see me, you know.
07:30It's only ones who've been contemplating death.
07:36That means Tomiya and Ryo have...
07:40Now what about the two of you?
07:45It's your turn.
07:46Miss Summer Ghost?
07:49Ayane Sato.
07:53That's my name.
07:56You're a ghost, right?
07:58Do we all become one when we die?
08:00Who knows?
08:02What else do you want to ask?
08:04I want to know if the world looks any different when you're a ghost.
08:08I can't tell you.
08:13It's not something you can explain.
08:16Only ghosts can understand ghosts.
08:20I'm afraid my time is up.
08:22Thanks so much for our little chat.
08:25Boo.
08:27Take care, okay?
08:31Take care, okay?
08:32Ghosts really do exist.
08:37I knew it.
08:43That's basically it.
08:45Make sure you inform me of any changes.
08:47Yeah, I will.
08:49Where are your parents?
08:50They're back at home.
08:52They'd only be a distraction with all their crying.
08:55Practicing hard, I see.
09:04Long time no see.
09:08You know, you never told me why you quit basketball.
09:13I just felt like it.
09:14You just felt like it?
09:17Because I'm dying.
09:19What?
09:19I got about nine months left.
09:24Won't get to see the sakura.
09:29Nah, I'm just messing with you.
09:32Did you buy it?
09:35Man.
09:36You shouldn't joke about that kind of stuff.
09:39You really had me there for a second.
09:49Tomoya, can you come here a sec?
10:04Tomoya, I know you can hear me.
10:07Yeah.
10:09The results from that practice exam you took came in.
10:13You did pretty well on the math part.
10:15Your essay questions need work.
10:17You have to answer the question.
10:20You can't just write about how you're feeling.
10:22You understand what I'm saying, right?
10:24I don't know why you're having such trouble with this.
10:36What?
10:37You have cram school on Sundays too?
10:39Yeah.
10:39Because exams are coming up.
10:42Wait.
10:42But mine aren't until next year.
10:44Does that mean you're older than me, Tomoya?
10:45Hold on.
10:46So you're only a junior?
10:48You're not Rio?
10:49I mean, I'm...
10:50Rio's fine.
10:53Hello?
11:16Hello?
11:17Hello?
11:17Oi?
11:18What changed?
11:19Are you okay?
11:20Hmm. Nothing happened. It's just... sometimes I can't believe it was real.
11:28Just try not to overthink it too much. I mean, what happened wasn't exactly normal.
11:35Tom, will ya?
11:37Sorry. I should probably hang up, because I'm almost home. Later.
11:48Hi there.
11:50So you came back. Your face says it all. You just couldn't stay away.
11:56I was curious.
12:00Or greedy.
12:04Hey Tomuya, why do you think you're alive?
12:08What makes you so sure I'm alive? Do I look at it?
12:11Only somewhat.
12:14The thing is, I don't really feel like I am.
12:18It's so bad sometimes, I can't even tell if I'm alive or not.
12:22Well, that just means your spirit's dead. Which isn't healthy.
12:27Pretty ironic, coming from you.
12:31So, what are you gonna do about it then?
12:33I haven't decided yet.
12:37It's why I wanted to ask you.
12:40All of these feelings, their pain, do you still have them as a ghost?
12:46Because, if you don't, I might change my situation.
12:51Oh, I see.
12:56Wanna see what it's like?
13:01Yeah, for a change of pace.
13:04Come fly with me.
13:05Ready?
13:18All right.
13:20Hold on tight, okay?
13:21So, how do you like it?
13:37With your body back on the ground, your soul is free now.
13:44Amazing.
13:44Did I fall through the ground?
14:13Sorry, my bad.
14:16I wanted it to be a surprise, so you could figure it out on your own.
14:20Well, it was a bad idea.
14:22I said sorry.
14:24Look, to make amends, I'll teach you how to fly.
14:28All you have to do is wish for it.
14:32Deep, deep within your heart.
14:35Your soul will take you wherever you desire.
14:39Now, picture it.
14:40Where is it that you want to go?
14:54Does this mean you're an artist?
14:56Yeah.
14:57Though I've stopped pursuing it already.
15:00There are more important things in the world, I'm told.
15:03Is that why you've become withdrawn?
15:04What?
15:05Well, now that you have this whole place to yourself, are you going to let it go to waste?
15:09You're a ghost now.
15:11They can't exactly kick you out.
15:12The city lights look beautiful when you're a ghost.
15:43Yeah, they sure do.
15:46And when you think about it, since we can't see them flicker, they're actually even brighter than this.
15:51Stop that.
15:52You know, you should be thanking me instead of ruining the mood.
15:56Sorry.
15:57Hey, um, can I ask you something personal?
16:04Shit.
16:05I was wondering, why'd you decide to kill yourself?
16:11Tomoya.
16:11You're mistaken.
16:16I didn't take my own life.
16:19Wanna know what happened?
16:22Why don't I tell you then?
16:25The truth is...
16:26I was killed.
16:32What is this place?
16:34My home.
16:35My mom lives by herself here now.
16:37That day, three years ago, we had a really bad fight.
16:46And to be honest, it was over something really minor.
16:50I was so upset, I ended up running out of the house in the middle of a typhoon.
16:56Right as I was crossing the road, I was hit by a car who was running a red light.
17:02Talk about dumb luck, right?
17:04But I was still alive, just unconscious.
17:10When I came to, I found myself locked inside a cramped space.
17:15I have a feeling it was a suitcase.
17:17Why?
17:19Probably to cover up the accident.
17:21The driver then buried me somewhere.
17:24I was struggling to breathe.
17:26Then I heard a train in the distance.
17:30Then nothing.
17:32That was my final memory.
17:34My mom's still waiting for me to come home.
17:38Do you have any idea where you were buried?
17:41I tried to figure that out at first.
17:43But it wouldn't change anything.
17:48Ah, man.
17:50There's so many things I didn't get to do.
17:52Travel the world, fall in love.
17:55I'm jealous of the future ahead of you.
17:57But you can still travel.
18:00What's more, you can even do it for free.
18:02Hey!
18:04That was a tad insensitive.
18:06You get a demerit.
18:09But...
18:10I honestly am jealous of you.
18:15Tomuya.
18:16Yes?
18:18Would you...
18:20help me find my body?
18:21Hmm?
18:22I feel like I could find it if you helped me.
18:25The whole reason I gave up looking for it...
18:28was because I couldn't touch it.
18:30Even if I found it.
18:38Sorry.
18:39I made this all about me in the end.
18:41You can forget I said anything.
18:44Take care, okay?
18:45Okay.
18:46I don't know.
19:16I thought you had cram school today. Get in. It's the second term already. I know you've been out and about. You can't fool me.
19:43I've been... looking for a friend.
19:46A friend? Is a friend more important than your own future? I'll be calling your cram school to make sure you're going. You need to start facing reality.
19:56Hey, where do you think you're going? Come back here, Tomoya!
19:58Nothing. No luck today either.
20:12I'm sorry.
20:16What for? It's not your fault. Besides, these are like dates for me.
20:21I'm supposed to take my entrance exams this year. Once I'm in college, I won't be able to come back here very often.
20:31I see. Then let's just stop looking for me.
20:40Summer's almost over anyway, so it's kind of perfect timing.
20:43Hold on. We don't have to give up looking.
20:45It's okay. I shouldn't bother you anymore with it. Your time is limited. No need to waste any more of it on me.
20:53No, wait.
20:54That's another demerit. Girls don't like men who are too persistent. I said it's fine, so it's fine.
21:01Why is that? Is it because you don't think you'll be here much longer?
21:07Perhaps.
21:09I think I get it.
21:11I'll see you tomorrow at dusk.
21:15Please wait for me.
21:19Are you free to meet now?
21:22I need your help.
21:24I want to find Ayane's body.
21:26But I'll need the both of you.
21:30I knew this was about her.
21:32Let me guess. You've been meeting up with her.
21:36Really?
21:37Did you fall for her?
21:39Stop it.
21:41Whatever.
21:43You can count me out.
21:45She killed herself.
21:47Serves her right.
21:48No. She was murdered.
21:52This is important to me.
21:54Because if I don't do this,
21:56I'll regret it for the rest of my life.
21:59Oh, yeah?
22:00Well, then I wish you luck.
22:03Ryo.
22:04Don't.
22:05Wait!
22:05I said don't!
22:08I don't want to hear it, okay?
22:10I can't take it.
22:12It's easy for you to say stuff like that.
22:14Because you have a rest of your life.
22:17Unlike others.
22:19Unlike me.
22:19You mean...
22:21Ryo, wait!
22:21Is something wrong?
22:35Tomoya?
22:36Tomoya?
22:36No.
22:38It's fine.
22:39Today's the day.
22:40We're going to find your body.
22:42Hey, wait!
22:48Ryo!
22:49Ryo!
23:01Ryo!
23:02Stay away from me!
23:05Just leave me alone.
23:07You haven't quite mastered it, so...
23:16You can't go far, huh?
23:19Still, I'm going to find you.
23:23Tomoya...
23:23I want to be left alone.
23:31I knew this would happen.
23:33I knew it'd make things worse.
23:37I'm going to die anyway.
23:38So why bother with anyone else?
23:42Why did I have to meet you guys?
23:45Why?
23:46Why me?
23:47Nothing ever goes right for me.
23:51Ryo?
23:53I don't know if it's really my place to weigh in, but...
23:57Truth is...
23:58I'm being bullied at school.
24:01It's pretty bad.
24:04It's caused me so much pain for such a long time.
24:07I was so hopeless.
24:09I didn't even know why I was alive.
24:12And so...
24:14I went out searching for answers.
24:16And tried to find a ghost.
24:19I know my situation doesn't compare to yours.
24:23And I'm sure that Tomoya has his own troubles too.
24:27But I believe that there has to be a reason why the three of us met.
24:31Oh no!
24:38Ayane!
24:40Can you hear me?
24:41Are you still around?
24:42Are you still around?
24:46You ran out of sparklers?
24:49Amateur move!
24:52You know you're never going to find her at that rate.
24:54I'm sorry.
25:01I was caught up in my own stuff.
25:03I should have noticed.
25:05I never considered your feelings.
25:07You know, I really can't stand people like you.
25:11You always think you know everything.
25:14And so you always think you have it the worst.
25:16I'll help, though.
25:21You can thank Ahoy.
25:23What?
25:24Thanks, Ryo.
25:27Come on, then.
25:32This means a lot.
25:33My body.
26:00Do you think we'll find it?
26:01Yeah, of course.
26:03There's four of us now.
26:06I didn't realize that you would search this hard for me.
26:09I'm so grateful for the three of you.
26:12Nothing is better than having good friends.
26:15Take care of them.
26:19Tomoya!
26:20What is it?
26:22Ahoy!
26:22Follow me!
26:23Quickly!
26:24The suitcase!
26:25I may have found it!
26:26It's over there!
26:34Okay.
26:35I'll go look.
26:38I wonder what's going to happen.
26:40Like, will her ghost disappear when she's reunited with her body?
26:45I feel kind of sad.
26:47This is the correct suitcase.
26:53All right!
26:54Let's go!
26:58I'm so relieved.
27:00I hope this gives my mom the closure she needs.
27:02So then...
27:04Does this mean you'll disappear?
27:06Probably.
27:08But no regrets.
27:10Because it was fun in the end.
27:12And Tomoya?
27:18Good luck with everything.
27:21Huh?
27:24Because...
27:25You still have a life left to live.
27:30Huh.
27:30You're awake.
27:31Okay then.
27:32What are you waiting for?
27:33Hurry up.
27:34Yeah.
27:35I'm worried.
27:36You seem to enjoy being a ghost a bit too much.
27:39For example...
27:41You don't think dying would be that bad.
27:44Am I right?
27:45Huh?
27:46Hehehehe.
27:48Tomoya.
27:51I'm sorry.
27:53That was rather selfish.
27:59Wyo!
28:00I'm okay.
28:01Go on ahead.
28:02Ionix waited long enough.
28:03Huh.
28:08Huh.
28:09It's in there.
28:12Yeah.
28:13But look.
28:15You had your own problems to deal with.
28:18But I still dragged you around everywhere.
28:20And now...
28:22I'm just leaving you behind.
28:26Don't be sad for me.
28:28Listen.
28:30I wanted to find you.
28:32It was my choice.
28:33Huh.
28:37Okay then.
28:38I'm sure you'll figure it out.
28:44Dying is part of your future.
28:47But it's my past.
28:49It lies exactly in the middle between the two of us.
28:52You can do it.
29:03Don't give up.
29:05Let's go.
29:16Let's go.
29:30What's wrong?
29:32Tomoya!
29:34Tomoya!
29:40You've been wandering around as a spirit for a long time.
29:44That's why you're here.
29:47This is death.
29:49Where there's nothing.
29:51However, it's also where every bit of you gathers.
29:54You just have to burn it.
29:59Then you can say goodbye to the rest of the world.
30:09But...
30:09I shouldn't, right?
30:13What's with that look?
30:14Come on.
30:19What do you really want?
30:33Tomoya!
30:34What are you doing?
30:37Snap out of it!
30:38Trio, stop.
30:39You were the one who wanted to do this.
30:41So now it's time to follow through.
30:43If you give up right now...
30:46I will never forgive you!
30:49I can't.
30:51I have to go back.
30:52What for?
30:57What is there?
31:00What cling to something...
31:02That has only brought you pain?
31:08Why go back?
31:15Yeah.
31:17Life's been painful.
31:19But it's not over yet!
31:21And it's not all bad.
31:24For example, Ryo and Ahoy.
31:26I learned that if I put myself out there,
31:28I can meet people like them.
31:31You're not Ayane, you're me.
31:33Searching for a reason to die!
31:36But I have to go back.
31:38So I can find Ayane.
31:41Everyone dies.
31:43But do we...
31:44All live?
31:46I know now.
31:48There's so much to life I still don't understand!
31:51But do I have to mind?
32:08It's so much to the right.
32:09Ahoyah!
32:09I can understand!
32:10iffe 창, allow me to die in a Grünyan!
32:11Tomoya!
32:13Tomoya!
32:41Finally.
32:46You found me. Now I can rest.
33:11Yes?
33:21Aiyane?
33:36Aiyane?
33:41Aiyane?
33:45Aiyane?
33:50Aiyane?
33:55Aiyane?
34:00Aiyane?
34:04Aiyane?
34:17Aiyane?
34:18Aiyane?
34:19Aiyane?
34:20Aiyane?
34:21Aiyane?
34:23Aiyane?
34:24Aiyane?
34:25Aiyane?
34:26Aiyane?
34:27Aiyane?
34:28Aiyane?
34:29Aiyane?
34:30Aiyane?
34:31Aiyane?
34:32Aiyane?
34:33Aiyane?
34:34Aiyane?
34:35Aiyane?
34:36Choosing to live how you want is harder than I would have thought.
34:45Yeah, same.
34:49Things haven't really gotten better.
34:57What is wrong with you? Why do you insist on acting like a bunch of little brats?
35:01But who knows, maybe things will change.
35:03Sometimes I feel like it would have been easier to just do as I'm told.
35:11But you know what? I'm okay with it.
35:16Because when I think about how everything is going to end someday, I'm not afraid of anything anymore.
35:25That's why I'm going to go down my own path.
35:33That's good to hear.
35:41It's almost burnt out.
35:43Well, nice chat.
35:46I just wish we could have more time.
35:48Why was I even born?
35:55That's all I ever asked myself back then.
35:58You know, I really believed that I would get better.
36:03Maybe that's why I lasted till spring.
36:05I died six months ago.
36:09You still that torn up?
36:11Everything is going to work out for the two of you.
36:15There's no guarantee, but I guarantee it.
36:20Tomoya.
36:22Aoi.
36:25Go live your best life.
36:26Let's go home.
36:53Yeah.
36:53Yeah.
