Hungry for more Summer Pockets details? Then read on, because the wonderful Khsellhu has prepared for us a complete English translation of the Summer Pockets Rough Note booklet that was included in the Comiket 91 Key Set! It includes profiles the four main heroines. We'll be providing images of the
Phewā¦ Thatās a lot of information! Thanks again for the article, @Khsellhu, @RyuuTamotsu @Yerian and @Aspirety
Shiroha Naruse is likely going to be my favorite character. I instantly identify with her struggle to connect with those outside her family and failing to pick up on social cues that might hint at someoneās emotional state. Iām impressed to find I donāt really feel she falls strictly under an archetype. Sheās not quite an emotionless girl, but she doesnāt exclusively fit the mold of a shy moe girl either. Much like her feelings of ālonging for the cityā, sheās ācomplexā. I also find it realistic how she seems to let her guard down around someone whoās coming back to the island. Although heās been there before, heās sure to see just as many things that have changed as they have stayed the same. For once, Shiroha knows that she can talk and explain about certain things to him that she couldnāt really be sure others would be interested in. Her design fits pretty well, too, her slightly narrow eyes capturing the look of someone whoās private, yet the little blush on her cheeks hints she might have a yearning to make friends.
Ao Sorakado I may not personally identify with her as I do Shiroha, but Ao looks to be another character Iāll enjoy reading about. Her tomboy, extroverted, take-charge nature is one Iāve encountered in friends Iāve had irl. I believe being able to identify these characters in real-world experience adds a layer of authenticity to them. Itās endearing the way she can connect with kids, a sensable skill considering the way sheās compared to a boy-scout, as a lot kids are adventurous, rough and tumble, and eager to tackle new things. Iām a bit curious about how her being a closet-pervert really fits in, however. Perhaps sheās supposed to be extremely hormonal? Could it be connected to her desire not to deal in romance and love? Even with those resistances, her desire still brims out in other ways? The only thing Iām not big on is her design. Maybe itās just because her head is cocked, but I donāt like the way her eyes seem comparably low on her face. Itās almost as if there is too much bare space on her forehead.
Kamome Kushima unlike the other two, she definitively falls under the childhood-friend love interest archetype. Which is interesting, because the article implies itās unlikely they could have known each other. Regardless, I would be shocked if they didnāt have a past connection, perhaps an incidental one that they canāt conclusively say the other was a part of. Her motivation to find something on the island fits well with her unbridled curiosity. Na-Ga mysteriously didnāt go into detail on her suitcase, so Iām curious what types of things she has in it. Maybe doo-dads for climbing up cliff-sides, or navigating dark caves? Her cutsey design and the fact sheās a childhood friend makes me wonder if her chemistry with the lead will be similar to the one Kotarou has with Kotori in Rewrite. On a side note, the writerās statement about exploring the island hypes me up for an immersive setting.
Tsumugi Wenders Iām not entirely sure what to make of her. Her design feels like a token-mini-moe look, similar to Meiās in Clannad, but her personality generally seems to fit a stoic yet considerate mold. As the bio indicates, she doesnāt force her beliefs and opinons on others, giving her a likeable air. The old-fashioned rules she follows indicates she follows old-fashioned rules and behaviors from years past I imagine, or potentially theyāre referring to her German heritage (nice to see another foreign heroine). Itās interesting that of all the heroines, sheās the one who has the cutsey āMugyuā affectation. Since the article says itās related to a worry of hers, I wonder if itās something sheās said since sheās young, an embarassing sign of her past? It does hint emotional investment in her presumably well-educated self, and her confidence in understanding rules of all stripes. The last statement about her weak points intrigues me. Iām not honestly sure what the articleās referring to here.
The hype is real.
EDIT: Thanks, @Purple, for reprimanding me for my egregious forgetfulness, and @BlackHayate02, for correcting my misconception.
@Khsellhu and I have already developed a headcanon:
It took us a long time to carefully craft these detailed theories, so theyāre completely foolproof (probably).
If this is something related to the 140 BPM, I think heās just referring to the music tempo his compositions will end up with. 
A tempo of 140 BPM is quite fast (checking the MIDI files I got, a Key music in that exact tempo would be Sunbright, Lucia Konohanaās theme, while Mag Mell is at 145), and considering that Summer Pockets will seem to have a peaceful ambiance, a tempo like that would seem unlikely. (Not completely impossible though; Maedaās Country Train is at the tempo of 152 BPM, and its energy is quite restrainedā¦ which is very typical Maeda music.)
Iām really liking the ambiance so far. Basing on impressions on the notes, I think Iāll end up liking Sorakado or Kamome a lot. But who knows~
Poor Kud.
Rich girl best girl
Ao sounds like a fun character. I think I might like her a lot. :kurumu: I tend to like those kinds of characters.
The other girls donāt sound too bad either.
Iām definitely looking forward to this.
Oh shit, now Iām actually starting to get hyped for the new game as well. All four characters sound promising to me!
Ao sounds exactly like Mion from Higurashi to me, which Iām quite okay with!
Personally, I absolutely love Aoās character. Sheās got the best design and rather nice introduction.
I have my doubts on āero-delusionsā part, especially now that Iāve partially browsed through Dengeki Magazineās January article on SamaPokeā¦ I just hope this game wonāt end up as an eroge. And if it ends, I hope it wonāt be a simple money-sinker.
Kamome doesnāt look that bad also, though piratesā¦ and her design as of now looks a bit plain. Definetely, not to my liking.
Same goes for Shiroha.
Then there is Wenders whoās got a lot of backlash already.
I donāt think that she is bad, actually. At first it felt like she would be yet another now-so-popular chu2byo character, but seems like that was a wrong assumption. She is introduced like a solid and rational girl.
ā¦Well, we wonāt know till the release how it will all actually play, but I have some expectations for the game.
Also, this is foulproof! :kyouevil:
In all honesty, I remember someone talking about this setting fitting ideal with horrorā¦ I am not really a fan of the genre, but it would be nice once in a while I guess. Especially, if they tackle a bit with supernatural.
But, well, all of this is a pure specualtion. Not enough context is given to us yetā¦ it can be anything.
Is it just me that feels tsumugi has a bit of similiarity with shizuru? 
Hmm I see where youāre getting at. Somewhat silent but direct
Although, unlike shizuru, she can get a bit pushy (based on the side story theyāve shown so far)
