In Summary:

Natsu no Arashi is moving into the home stretch, though it can only go so far since the manga is still ongoing. The background storyline that’s been slowly winding its way through the series is taking center stage here but it continues to be coy in what’s really going on. As talked about with previous episodes, there’s been little here that’s really kept me entertained and providing some actual meat to the story now doesn’t really entice me much either. Something about Natsu no Arashi simply doesn’t click for me and almost pushes me away from it at times, which is saying a lot considering some of the trash I’ve seen over the years. It’s a competent show, but the execution and actual story has just been bland to say the least.
