The Summer Hikaru Died

This episode relies heavily on body horror; the physical creaking of Hikaru's bones creates genuine unease and tension. It's interesting to see how a seemingly normal town becomes unsettling through small visual details that generate suspense.

If the girl gets killed

Anime is really well done. Genuinely one of the only horrors I would dare to watch.

i really enjoyed the anime, i love their dynamic and the classic Japanese low quality creepy stuff! i’m sad that the author didn’t go through with the chapter 0 storyline and now there’s supposedly ‘’nothing romantic” between them.

The best moment is when Yoshiki ask Hikaru "You're not Hikaru, aren't you?" I CRY IN THAT PART

It took me two tries to finish the first ep. I stopped halfway through because of the slow pacing. But decided to try again & push thorugh, and the ending really got me hooked. So there's that. Plus, the animation is beautiful!

What an amazing episode 😭😭

Amazing showing hikarus obsession and showing yoshikis dependence on hikaru was such an amazing scene

You're...Not Hikaru are you...

i'm so obsessed with the parallel of yoshiki begging hikaru to stay with him... this show genuinely is so good and i cannot wait for season 2

The story starts getting interesting here onwards. Love the horror essence of it, the conflicting emotions, the lore. Storyline wise, this anime definitely pulled it off. I can forsee binging this in a day 😭

Pretty dark but it is what it is

Can't wait to see the mystery play out!

Sad but nice

Kaoru has a terrifying encounter in the bathroom, prompting “Hikaru” to investigate. This episode ramps up the creepiness, paying homage to classic Japanese horror tropes while also delving into surreal sequences that give us another peek into Yoshiki’s past. I’m hoping to see more entities and ghosts as the story progresses. What else could be lurking around?

The annual summer festival brings excitement along with a slight sense of unease. The highlight of this episode was getting a glimpse into the town’s history and beliefs, leaving me eager to learn more. Watching Yoshiki continue to grapple with his complicated feelings toward the new Hikaru while trying to come to terms with the loss of his friend is heartbreaking. I can already tell I’ll be shedding some tears in the episodes to come!

La tensión del episodio es palpable, tanto en la narración como en lo visual. A diferencia de los anteriores, en este ya se van entregando conclusiones e información crucial sobre el pasado de la familia Indo, que da importantes pistas sobre el demonio que vive dentro de Hikaru.

Yoshiki kamu kenapa, nak? Kalo mau ayam, tinggal beli dan goreng. Saya jujur tidak terlalu suka dengan jumping scene. Kayak sudah terlalu berlebihan, sih. Jadinya merusak konsentrasi.

Saya suka bagaimana author menulis misteri dalam cerita ini tidak dengan alur yang linear. Pada episode ini sudah jelas sebenarnya apa yang terjadi. Kalau semuanya diceritakan secara lurus, maka fokusnya tak akan lagi pada Yoshiki dan Hikaru. Tapi pada pihak bapak-bapak itu. Beberapa karakter masih misterius, semoga latar belakang mereka bisa dibahas juga. Nonton sampai selesai (sampai setelah ending song juga. Btw, ending creditnya bagus)

Misterinya mulai dikupas pelan-pelan. Tapi saya agak bingung dengan respons Yoshiki pada Hikaru. Udah jelas dia seposesif itu. Lumayan toxic dan mengekang ya hubungan mereka.
