Summer Time Rendering anime adaptation has a release date – 2022. Studio information isn’t available at the moment, but the official website for the anime revealed a new teaser visual.
The new visual shows the main characters, Shinpei and Ushio, standing side by side in the shallow sea. Behind them is the Hitogashima island, which is where the story takes place.
Even though the Summer Time Rendering anime was previously announced, the format (TV anime) wasn’t known until now.

A live-action adaptation of the manga is also in the works.
The manga is available to read on MANGA Plus platform, which describes the plot as:
