The official website for the Summer Pockets television anime has unveiled its sixth promotional video, spotlighting the character Shiroha Naruse, voiced by Konomi Kohara. This comes alongside the release of a new visual ahead of the anime’s 15th episode, which will initiate the “Shiroha Naruse arc.”
The newest promotional video was released on Monday, July 14, 2025, coinciding with the broadcast of episode 15 in Japan. The visual prominently features Shiroha Naruse, hinting at her increased focus in the upcoming episodes. The 15th episode is set to delve into Shiroha’s storyline, with a synopsis indicating a focus on her practicing swimming alone at night when she encounters protagonist Hairi Takahara. Due to “certain circumstances,” Shiroha has maintained a solitary distance from others on the island. The narrative will explore how Hairi’s presence begins to close that distance, prompting Shiroha to recall sparkling summer memories from her childhood.
