Ryosuke worked at the florist and had a crush on Rokka, the store manager. unfortunately, Rokka was still grieving for her husband Atsushi, who died 8 years ago. one day when Ryosuke went to her apartment looking for Rokka, he ran into a half naked man at the apartment. he was upset, assuming that the man was Rokka's new boyfriend. however he soon found out that the man was the ghost of Atsushi, Rokka's deceased husband. to Ryosuke's advantage, Rokka was unable to see Atsushi. but the trio soon became involved in a strange love triangle.
Natsuyuki Rendezvous (2012) was a rare and unique romance. reminded me of Anohana (2011). despite the involvement of a ghost, the romance was lighthearted and had nothing to do with horror. the storyline was slow paced but rewarding nonetheless. the rivalry between Ryosuke and Atsushi was the spotlight of the series and what kept the story going. they were entertaining and humorous in a realistic sense, adding twists to the supposedly ordinary romance. the only downside of the series was its artwork. visually it wasn't as impressive as what would be expected of series these days. but story wise, it was definitely enjoyable and worth watching.
