'Ä'''Summer Pockets''''' is set on an isolated, rural and peaceful island on the Seto Inland Sea called Torishirojima, which has a population of about 2,000 people. The protagonist is Hairi Takahara, a young man not native to the island. Hairi grew up in an urban setting, but after an unpleasant incident, he uses the recent death of his grandmother as an excuse to come to the island to take care of her estate sale. Once there, he gets to know four girls who are the focus of the story. They include Shiroha Naruse, who forgot her summer vacation; Ao Sorakado, who is pursuing the legends of the island; Kamome Kushima, a high-class girl looking for a pirate ship; and Tsumugi Wenders, a younger girl trying to find herself.

The novel's concept is by Jun Maeda, who felt that the [[{{Utsuge}} game needed to make readers cry]]. Kai was brought in to direct the project, as well as co-write the scenario with Hasama and Yū Niijima. Maeda decided not to write the scenario due to similarities in themes with ''AIR'', which he primarily wrote. Although ''AIR'' also features a rural, seaside setting during the summer, the development team aimed for ''Summer Pockets'' to have a different feeling to it. Nostalgia and the maternal bond are prominent themes in the game. Na-Ga, who has worked with ''Key'' since ''VisualNovel/LittleBusters'', is the chief artist and character designer, and additional character designs are provided by Tsubasu Izumi and Yūnon Nagayama. The game's soundtrack was composed by Maeda, Shinji Orito, Donmaru, Tomohiro Takeshita and Ryō Mizutsuki.
''Summer Pockets'' is set to be released on June 29, 2018 as an all-ages visual novel.
