The Summer Hikaru Died
Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu
Yoshiki and Hikaru have been inseparable since childhood, best friends in a small village where they're practically the only kids around. But something changed one summer. The person sitting next to Yoshiki now looks and sounds like Hikaru, and remembers everything Hikaru should remember—yet he's completely different. When Yoshiki calls him out on it, Hikaru reveals his true form: something otherworldly and not human. He threatens to kill Yoshiki unless he can accept what he's become, all while insisting that he loves him. Caught between grief over losing his best friend and an inability to just walk away, Yoshiki finds himself drawn closer to this new version of Hikaru. Meanwhile, the village starts experiencing strange disturbances. Something isn't right, and the chaos seems tied to whatever Hikaru has become.
