All four boys have their own reasons for not going home. Yoshikuni's girlfriend is Hiroko, but with his own reasons, he tells her he doesn't want to see her for a while. Hiroko isn't satisfied with this but Yoshikuni keeps on avoiding her. On their first day, Yoshikuni and Mitsuhiro set out to buy food for dinner. They bumped into Osamu, a day student. Hiroko and her friend Aki turns up. Aki asks Yoshikuni why he dumped Hiroko for no apparent reason. Hiroko can't take it any more and bursts into tears.

Summer holidays gone wrong
Summary: The show was pure chaos, it started with a group of friends and went dark fast. This show does not condone the right morals, it will just push whatever narrative is necessary to advance the story. The actors are all fairly new when they went into this movie so don't expect too much from acting but they had fun with it. I would never rewatch except to fact-check if the story was actually that chaotic.Story:
Male lead stays with his 4-5 friends in some house, here they either get traumatized or relive their past traumas. They spin this into some Peter Pan story of the guys being at some kind of Neverland where they never want to become adults due to their traumas. So thats the origin of the dramas name. It deals with way darker themes than usual summer holiday themed shows.
It does create some interest due to its dramatic nature. It makes you wonder how the characters will deal with things and usually they don't deal with things in the right way or even encourage the wrong things.The main guys plotline gets progressed very late in the story and feels rushed because of that. A lot of the show also feels disjointed since certain important past events are barely mentioned again.
Acting:
The acting was mainly just young teens so not much experience. The friendgroup was nice and the actors generally really seemed to get along.
Music:
Not that special but okay.
Rewatch value:
I wouldn't rewatch this personally.
