Natsu no Arashi! (夏のあらし!?) is the newest manga by Jin Kobayashi, who is famous for his other current work School Rumble, and is currently being serialized in Square Enix's Gangan Wing.

[edit] Plot

13 year-old Yasaka is a boy staying at his grandfather's house during his summer vacation. One day he entered a store and met Arashi, a beautiful 16-year old girl working there. After trying to protect her from a man who claims to have been hired by her family to take her back by force, Yasaka ran away with her and now she stays at his grandpa's place with him. It didn't take much time for Yasaka to figure out that his new friend is far from an ordinary girl, as she possesses mysterious powers. The plot thickens when he finds a 60 year old picture of Arashi and another girl named Kaja, and to the surprise of all Kaja suddenly appears, and just like Arashi, her appearance hasn't changed at all since then.

Two other characters introduced so far are the place's owner, a woman whose name is still unrevealed and rumored to be a high level con artist, and Kamigamo, a student of Yasaka's age who he met at the store, and works there with him since then. Despite being a girl, she keeps dressing and addressing herself as a boy to the other characters. So far only Kaja knows her secret.

[edit] Trivia

  • On chapter 2, the cup used for the dice bet between Yasaka and the owner had a picture of "Yure-chan", a character from Yakumo's favorite picture book in School Rumble.
