Hiyake to Wareme to Game Center no Natsu

In the summer of the 1980s, a group of young people spend their days at the local game center, where arcade machines and the heat of the season blur the lines between innocent fun and budding desire. Kaoruko, a girl with a playful spirit, often finds herself at the center of attention, her interactions with friends and strangers alike tinged with a growing curiosity about intimacy.

As the summer progresses, the characters explore their emerging sexuality through a series of encounters that range from awkward to explicit. The game center becomes a backdrop for secret rendezvous and unexpected moments, where the thrill of the arcade mixes with the heat of the sun and the vulnerability of youth. Each chapter delves into a different facet of desire, from voyeurism to physical exploration, all set against the nostalgic glow of retro gaming and lazy summer afternoons.
