Episode 10 “A Lifetime’s Worth of Summer Breaks” Recap (With Spoilers)

A Summer To Remember: Tsumugi, Shizuku, Takahara

With a week left before summer ends and everyone will have to return to their regular lives, Takahara proposes using this last week to cram in a year’s worth of activities. Shizuku, of course, commits to this, as do many on the island who love and enjoy Tsumigi.

This makes her immensely happy and leads to her opening up about her backstory, providing some insight into how she exists, but not enough to make logical sense. But, with Takahara so happy, logic doesn’t matter, and the focus is on just enjoying Tsumugi, who reappears the following summer.

Review and Commentary

Low Points

The Investment Is Draining [67/100]

The Tsumigi saga has been something we’ve been waiting, and wanting, to end for a while now because it just lacks everything which got us into the show. The relationship being built doesn’t create butterflies or feel cute. Shizuku’s inclusion makes things awkward in ways that aren’t necessarily uncomfortable but feel like a cheap gimmick, and Tsumigi is adorable but utterly bland in such a way that it isn’t pushing or triggering growth for Takahara.

Which, perhaps, is the heart of the issue. The entire relationship and story is one-sided, and Takahara has devolved into the guy who does everything for this young lady who doesn’t have that special thing you usually see in narratives like this. Gone is going into whatever the trauma and issues he is dealing with in his personal life, all the focus is on Tsumigi, whose main issue is that her true self is indecisive.

Yes, this can be seen as a flaw of some kind, but again, one of the biggest issues with the Tsumigi arc is that it is following such a strong one from Kamome, and it isn’t simply something different; it is worse.

Overall

Our Overall Rating [67/100]

The Tsumugi storyline has significantly weakened the appeal of Summer Pockets. From the lack of chemistry, meaningful growth, or a compelling character arc, this segment feels like a step back—especially following Kamome’s arc. Add in Takahara sidelined and Tsumugi offering little beyond indecisiveness, and it’s easy to imagine viewer investment steadily declining due to what has become a bland and unbalanced narrative turn.
