Happinet is taking us back to 2005 as they’re bringing out the six-episode OVA series Iriya no Sora, UFO no Natsu. With the set coming out soon we now have a look at the packaging and artwork for the set that definitely makes it stand out well with the slipcover alone. The plan is for an October 2nd, 2018 release priced at 12,000 yen with it being a single-disc set. It’ll include a drama CD that also has the opening and closing songs on it as well as a booklet. On-disc extras include the episode previews, the clean opening, and the promo for it.
Based on the original novel by Mizuhito Akiyama, the series was directed by Naoyuki Itou based on the series composition by Michiko Yokote. Tomoyasu Kurashima handled adapting the character designs while Toei Animation handled the animation production.
The Japanese cast includes Ai Nonaka as Kana Iriya and Daisuke Namikawa as Naoyuki Asaba.
Plot Concept: Asaba Naoyuki is an ordinary high school student. As a member of his school’s press club, he’s just spent the summer camping outside the local military base, in hopes of seeing the UFOs that are secretly kept there, according to local legend. Returning to school, he meets a strange girl, Iriya Kana, and gradually comes to realize that she is more than merely strange – and that a dark secret lies beneath the world that he knows.
