A two-episode sequel, entitled Dōkyūsei Climax Files was also released.
End of Summer is about a boy who seeks after a redheaded girl named Mai and along the way runs into difficulties (and trysts) with several other girls, namely, Kurumi, Miho, Misa, and Satomi.

The depth of character development has been reviewed as being above average, although the format forced on it by OVA requires some compromises with realism. The film has some classical music.
