A strange reunion with his first love.
Stowed away deep in his heart
The continuation of that summer break ――
Set in Tanegashima
Where the past and present will intertwine
A brilliantly heart-wrenching adolescent love story.

I think "Hachigatsu no Ghost" needed to be either longer or shorter. The final chapter was doing the heavy-lifting for giving both insight into Mizuki's feelings and closure for Naoto. This story gives me the same feelings as "Your Lie in April", but not quite as fulfilling or impactful. Because the flashbacks felt like it wasted more time on fluff, Naoto's romantic feelings for Mizuki and vice-versa felt tacked-on as a result. When I really think about these ten chapters that were here, only chapters #2, #3, #8, #9 and #10 were important.
