Hi, I'm looking for a manga I was reminded of when I saw the preview for the Natsu no Arashi anime. At first I thought it might based on the same manga (found out I was wrong). a younger boy (maybe junior high or younger) at a rural village for the summer (or maybe his parents died), meets a mysterious older girl, tall long black hair ala Natsu', and I think they run away on some kind of adventure (maybe on a bicycle). But thats all I read at the time, so thats how it starts. I read it at least 5 years ago, any suggestions would be helpfull, thanks. Klaus.

Haven't watched the preview, but sounds like Dead Flowers?

Thanks for suggestion, though that looks fun not what I'm looking for, the lead female I'm quite sure has long black hair, and I belive there were at least 1 volume worth of chapters.

just did a wild search here and came up with these:

found this pic from the anime series Mahō Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto: Natsu no Sora?

or perhapes

This Ugly Yet Beautiful World anime series about this bike courier guy + mysterious girl?

thanks for suggestions, but no. The main character is way younger the the lead female, and the art style is, much less moe, more seinen like (sketchy).
