What happens

Your Summer, My Storm (夏色の雲が恋と嵐をまきおこす) is a Japanese Boys’ Love drama that premiered on TV Asahi on 11 July 2026 in the network’s Oshidora Saturday late-night slot. It ran ten weekly episodes of around 25 minutes, ending on 12 September 2026.

Natsuki Takemiya (Ryusei Fukada) is in his final year of high school and having a bad summer. His mock exam results are poor, university entrance exams are coming, and his girlfriend has just left him, all inside the same week. His older sister Rio decides the exam problem at least is fixable and brings in her own boyfriend, Sota Kobayagawa (Hidaka Ukisho), as a private tutor.

Sota is the last person Natsuki wants in the house. He is composed where Natsuki is not, he is in the room every day whether Natsuki has done the work or not, and he is, unavoidably, his sister’s partner. The series is about what happens when someone you have decided to dislike turns out to be paying closer attention to you than anyone else is, and about a household that has to absorb the result. The Takemiya house is full, with Natsuki’s mother Towako (Michiko Hada), his father Goro (Hajime Inoue) and Rio (Momoko Tanabe) around the two leads for most of the running time.

The series is an original screenplay by Yuko Matsuda, directed by Hajime Takezono for TV Asahi with Kazuya Miyata and Naomi Kinoshita, with music by Takatsugu Muramatsu. It is produced by TV Asahi and Storm Labels with production cooperation from Fine Entertainment. Fukada and Ukisho are both members of ACEes, who perform the theme song, Mayonaka no ZOO. It is Fukada’s first solo lead in a serial drama.

Reviewed by Renkaze

A home drama in which the house is full and the leads’ story plays out in the study.

It is an original script rather than a manga adaptation, and it is built as a family drama. Mother, father and sister are all in the frame while the thing between the leads is quietly happening in the study.

The family texture is the strongest element, and the twenty-five minute format is generous enough to hold it. It also gives the central relationship an obstacle that talking does not remove: Sota is with Rio, and Rio is written as a person rather than an inconvenience, which makes the resolution difficult rather than a matter of waiting.

The register: gentle, with a lot of family, across a compact ten-week run that ended on 12 September 2026.

Both leads are members of ACEes, the group that performs the theme song Mayonaka no ZOO, so the pairing arrives with an existing stage partnership. Hajime Takezono directs and Takatsugu Muramatsu composes, and together they keep the tone domestic. It suits viewers who like gentle, family-centred romances, who enjoy a slow-burn dynamic inside a shared house, and who want a ten-week commitment of about four hours.

A baseball broadcast pushed three episodes back half an hour.

TV Asahi placed the series in its Oshidora Saturday late-night slot at 23:00 JST from 11 July 2026. Episodes five to seven went out at 23:30 instead, because sport coverage occupied the preceding slot.

Anyone following the run week by week had to check the listing rather than trust the habit, since a recording set once in July would have missed three of the ten episodes.

Ten episodes at 23 to 25 minutes come to roughly four hours of screen time, spread across ten Saturdays. Your Sky: Hare Nochi Koi is another Japanese series from 2026.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why is there no person in the Japanese title?

Summer-coloured clouds are the subject and love and storms are what they stir up, so every human being in the story stands downstream of the weather. That matches Natsuki's position: the exams are scheduled, the tutor is arranged by somebody else, and the breakup was not his idea.

How does Sota end up in the Takemiya house?

Natsuki's older sister Rio decides the exam problem is fixable and brings in her own boyfriend as a private tutor.

Why did some episodes air half an hour later than usual?

Episodes five to seven were pushed back from 23:00 to 23:30 in the Oshidora Saturday slot because of baseball coverage in the preceding slot. The other episodes kept the standard time across the ten week run.

Is this drama adapted from a manga?

No. It is an original youth home-drama romantic comedy written directly for the screen by Yuko Matsuda, with no source novel, manga or web serial credited.

Is there a dog in the cast?

Yes, a dog called Rock. Hidaka Ukisho credited its presence with loosening the family scenes, his own character being uneasy around dogs.

Where a title can be watched, and who is credited on it, may have changed since publication, as our disclaimer explains.

Themes

The Japanese title is a complete sentence in which no person appears. Summer-coloured clouds are the subject, love and storms are what they stir up, and every human being in the story stands downstream of the weather. That is an accurate account of Natsuki's position: the exams are scheduled, the tutor is arranged by somebody else, and the breakup was not his idea either.

Tutoring is a pointed way to put two people in a room. A private tutor is paid to be in the house, is required to know exactly what the student does not, and watches him fail in private every afternoon. Of all the arrangements available to a story like this, it is the one that guarantees one party is seen at his least competent by the other, daily, by agreement.

Sota's place in the household is unusual too. Everyone else there is a Takemiya by birth, and he is present under an arrangement, which makes him both the outsider in the room and the only person Natsuki was never obliged to feel anything about in advance.

How it was made

The Takemiya house was assembled as a working ensemble rather than a backdrop, and it includes a dog called Rock, whose presence Hidaka Ukisho credited with loosening the family scenes, his own character being uneasy around dogs. Ryusei Fukada told WEB The Television that the cast came to feel like an actual family on set, and Momoko Tanabe, who plays Natsuki's sister Rio, singled out a scene in which Rio borrows her brother's shirt as the moment the sibling relationship settled.
