The series follows Haruki, a quiet 17-year-old spending his last "childhood summer" in his grandmother’s rural coastal town. The "shounen" (boy) of the title is caught between the carefree days of his youth and the suffocating pressure of entrance exams, part-time jobs, and family expectations.

A special mention must go to Haruki’s voice actor, who delivers what might be the performance of the season. In Episode 3, he speaks only 47 lines of dialogue—half the usual amount.

The climax arrives when Haruto, after a heated argument with his best friend , realizes that his yearning to “grow up” is tied to a desire for autonomy, yet he also feels a duty to honor his father’s quiet sacrifice.
