Yasaka Hajime, a 13-year-old boy, is staying at his grandfather's house during summer vacation. One day, he meets a 16-year-old girl named Arashiyama Sayoko at a café and it is love at first sight — at least for him.
He decides to start working part-time there, in order to be close to Sayoko. But Sayoko is not your regular girl; she claims to be a ghost possessing him. And if that is not enough, it turns out that with Hajime's help Sayoko can travel into the past.
But she is not the only one with an unusual past; most of the co-workers in the café have a secret of their own...

Underrated and underwatched hidden gem, with a good balance of comedy and drama, great use of time travel and a quirky yet lovable cast which will make Hakobune a place you want to visit, especially for the incredible soundtrack they play there. All these seasoned with shaft's unique experimental animation touch, although it's not as strong as other works.

I personally enjoyed this one. Interesting concept, good character design, enjoyable comedy and fantastic animation. Even plot-wise it has its moments.

A good example of Shaft animation. Stylish, heavy color saturation and fast cuts. Some great character design and it's also pretty funny. Worth watching.

Show with great animation, might be a little tough to get into although the 2nd episode should be the 1st for it to make sense, refreshing male protaganist, with plenty of comedy moments and some fan service (in form of cuteness, no pantsu stuff)

Animation style is also experimental in both, the biggest similarity being the use of real-life imagery.
Last but not least, both take place in summer.
