Wet Summer Days

Sōji Kamishiro, a young artist, finds himself working alongside Sayaka Shirakawa at her father's studio in the sticky summer heat of Tokiwa, a quiet rural village. The father, Ritsu, paints death — not metaphorically, but literally obsessive, macabre canvases built around corpses and decay. The villagers already whisper about him. Sayaka, meanwhile, carries a cold, unspoken hatred toward her father that she won't explain. As Sōji gets closer to Sayaka, he starts noticing things that don't add up, and what begins as a slow-burn romance starts pulling him toward some genuinely unsettling questions about where Ritsu's artistic inspiration actually comes from. This is a 3-episode OVA adapted from a visual novel, so it's compact and doesn't waste time. The tone sits somewhere between psychological drama and dark fantasy — think the rural isolation and family-secret dread of Sankarea: Undying Love, but with more grounded, character-driven tension. If you gravitated toward the emotionally complicated relationships in Futakoi Alternative, Suika scratches a similar itch. Be aware this carries a Hentai classification, so adult content is part of the package. But underneath that, there's a genuinely moody story about artistic obsession, a daughter who resents her father for reasons she's buried deep, and a summer that keeps getting heavier the longer it goes. It's not action, it's not lighthearted — it's slow, emotional, and a little haunting.
