The Summer Hikaru Died

光が死んだ夏

Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu

Yoshiki and Hikaru are teenage best friends in a small village in the mountains. Hikaru once went missing in those mountains and later came home. Yoshiki is sure the boy who returned is not really Hikaru. When Yoshiki says so out loud the thing admits it and pleads with him. Yoshiki cannot bear to lose Hikaru twice. He keeps the secret. Meanwhile the village starts to feel wrong in small and creeping ways. The Summer Hikaru Died is quiet horror that runs on dread more than shocks. It suits readers who like rural folk horror and eerie art. It also centers on a close bond between two boys with strong romantic undertones.
