About A Summer Snow Rendezvous

Here is what A Summer Snow Rendezvous (Natsuyuki Rendezvous) is about, retold in plain terms: a supernatural, romance and drama anime by Doga Kobo (2012). The setup: Ryousuke Hazuki is a young man whose heart has been stolen away, stopping by the local floral shop daily in order to catch a glimpse of the beautiful Rokka Shimao, the shop's owner. In hopes of getting close to her, he decides to get a part-time job at the shop, but before he is able to make his move, he runs into a major roadblock: in her apartment dwells a ghost who claims to be Rokka's deceased husband.

Beyond that: Atsushi Shimao has quietly watched over his widowed wife ever since he passed three years ago. However, Hazuki is the first person to ever notice him, and the two quickly find themselves at odds: the jealous Shimao tries to thwart the suitor's advances and possess his body. As both men refuse to let go of their desires, an unusual relationship forms between a troubled woman, an unrelenting ghost, and a stubborn man in love.

With supernatural at the core, spirits, curses and unexplained forces shape both mood and plot. This one is best suited to fans of eerie, otherworldly settings.
