Synopsis
Amnesiac Chise is blackmailed over forgotten summer memories, saved by dangerous Kaoru, questioning trust and past events.
Saeki Chise has no recollection of the summer of three years ago. Whenever she feels as though her memories might be returning, her head begins to ache and Chise stops trying to remember. That's when Tamiya appears before her. He has a familiar face and photographs from the traumatic time that Chise's mind has suppressed. He uses the photos to blackmail her into becoming his woman... but then Chise is saved from Tamiya by Katsuragi Kaoru, a mysterious classmate with a reputation for being dangerous. As Chise finds herself drawn to Kaoru, she begins to question who she can trust and what really happened during that forgotten summer. Summary from animenewsnetwork.com

- 3 “I'm only part way through, not even half way. But I tell you, the only thing that has kept me going is the fact that I was finding it so darn hilarious. I know that's not what they were aiming for...”
