We then learn that he is traveling to the island of Hitogashima for Ushio’s funeral. Upon reaching there, he is reunited with old friends. Sou, one of his friends, tells him about the marks on Ushio’s neck but also states that according to the witnesses, Ushio was seen drowning while saving a young girl named Shiori. After a while, Mio gives Shinpei the seashell necklace that Ushio used to wear, and Tetsu, their relative, and the police of the island are introduced. According to Tetsu, Shiori and her family went missing. Not only this, but Shiori also claimed to Tetsu to have seen herself.
Things get interesting when Nezu, the hunter, tells them about Shadow Sickness, which is a phenomenon on the island wherein the shadows of people come to life and kills the owner and the family. This makes Mio remember that she and Ushio had seen a shadow that resembled Ushio a few days before her death. To cure themselves of this Shadow Sickness, they travel to the Hito Shrine, where they come across the shadow of Shiori and a bleeding woman. The episode ends when Mio and Shinpei are killed by Mio’s shadow, and Shinpei once again wakes up on the ferry on his way to the island.

By the second episode of the anime, we know that Summertime Rendering contains a lot of mysteries that need explanations we can only get sorted by continuing the anime. Episode 2 almost begins the same way as episode 1 however, this time, Shinpei is living through the same events, which make him feel in a Deja Vu state. This confuses him a lot as he recalls living the same event. After a while, he tells himself that this cannot be a case of Deja Vu as it seems too far-fetched and concluded that he is indeed living the same day again.
Interestingly, this time he witnesses a murder as well as how these shadows are cloned but gets caught and killed again. This time, he travels back to when he first stepped on the island and tries to bend events to make them go right. Meanwhile, we see Hizuru Minamikata reporting the date, time, and events so far to someone on the phone while hanging upside down from a tree. On the other hand, Shinpei sets up a camera where he was killed last time and keeps an eye on Mio. When her shadow clone was caught on camera, he does to the real Mio and tells her about it.
