The Long Summer of August 31 is serialized in Kodansha’s seinen magazine Morning and has 13 volumes as of August 2026. Seven Seas Entertainment describes the synopsis as such:
Caught in an endlessly repeating August 31st, high schoolers Suzuki Takaya and Takagi Kana are the only ones who remember each loop. The likely cause? Suzuki’s unfinished summer mission to secure a girlfriend and lose his virginity—the ultimate teenage goal. A hilarious yet heartfelt time-loop comedy!
