Introduction - Five Minute Summer!
🕑 Added 2019-12-28 15:47:52 +0000 UTCThis post is an introduction to Five Minute Summer, our keynote manga/illustration series here on Patreon. As a matter of fact, this started out as a Japanese-language novel posted on our old website, Cleveland Circle, and has evolved over years on multiple websites, so below is a recap of links and descriptions of works under this series name to make it a bit easier to understand for everyone:
I「潜水少女」(Diving Girls) - cousins Chihaya and Aya meet for the first time and develop a friendship to last for years. http://www7b.biglobe.ne.jp/~clevelandcircle/sensuishoujyo.html
II 「潜水少女 イラスト集」(Diving Girls Illustrated) - an illustrated version of Diving Girls with English synopsis. http://www7b.biglobe.ne.jp/~clevelandcircle/saver1.htm
III 「夏の五分間」(Five Minute Summer) - a magazine article contributor joins Chihaya and Aya for an adventure in their sunken ship. This was originally posted on Cleveland Circle and then on Deviantart.

It's amazing how long this series has been going on - I remember running across the first story (Diving Girls) on Cleveland Circle 8 years ago and being intrigued ever since. I'm looking forward to seeing things continue, especially with the newly-introduced characters!

I’m quite anxious to see the conclusion of the current storyline (it’s the longest running at this point by far). Where will their adventures take them after, I wonder? There’s still a lot of material that needs to be covered, and I’m curious how the addition of Ken and Eri will impact the future interpersonal dynamics. All told, the possibilities look quite exciting!

This surely isn’t an coincidence anymore :) I am truly Eri Hayasui Am 23 just like her (If only I knew her birthday) I know I can’t hold my breath for 7-8 minutes like she does, but I can do 4 ;D Which am proud and happy about. Ever since Eri first came out in Savaster, I knew I had a special connection - almost as I were looking at myself. I am very happy of your ArtWork You have never failed me Savaster I can’t wait for new Comics and new adventures :))
