The Summer Hikaru Died

In a quiet village, childhood friends Yoshiki and Hikaru shared a simple, happy life—until Hikaru vanished in the mountains. He returned a week later, seemingly unchanged, but something wasn’t right. As Yoshiki tries to carry on with this familiar yet strange version of his friend, eerie events begin to disturb the village and a haunting coming-of-age horror story unfolds.
