Natsuiro Kiseki (夏色キセキ?, lit. A Summer-Colored Miracle) is a Japanese anime television series produced by Sunrise and directed by Seiji Mizushima. The series aired on MBS between April and June 2012. A manga adaptation illustrated by Tatsuhiko was serialized in Square Enix's Young Gangan magazine between January 2012 and March 2013.

At a Shinto shrine in Shimoda, there is a large rock. It is said that if four close friends gather around the rock and all wish for the same thing, that wish will come true. As four friends, Natsumi, Saki, Yuka and Rinko, gather around the rock like they used to in their childhood, they soon find the rock can indeed grant people's wishes. With only a short amount of time before Saki is due to transfer schools, the girls spend a summer filled with magic.

A manga adaptation, based on the anime and illustrated by Tatsuhiko, was serialized in Square Enix's Young Gangan magazine between January 20, 2012 and March 15, 2013. Three tankōbon volumes were released between May 25, 2012 and March 25, 2013.

The anime television series is produced by Sunrise and directed by Seiji Mizushima. The screenplay was written by Tatsuhiko Urahata, and the chief animator Yuichi Tanaka based the character design used in the anime on Hidari's original concept. The sound director is Hiromi Kikuta, and the soundtrack is composed by Nijine and Masumi Itō. The series aired on MBS between April 6 and June 29, 2012. A short original video animation episode was released on August 29, 2012. The respective opening and ending themes, both performed by Sphere are "Non stop road" and "Ashita e no Kaerimichi" (明日への帰り道 Tomorrow's Road Home?). Sphere also performs the insert songs used throughout the series, such as "Yasashisa ni Tsutsumareru Yōni" (優しさに包まれるように To Be Wrapped in Tenderness?) used in episode one.
