The two did everything together...until the day Hikaru was encompassed by a mysterious light. That was when everything changed-Hikaru most of all. Yoshiki still wishes from the bottom of his heart to always stay by his side...but is there even a Hikaru left to be with? Review: Great manga, can’t stop reading - Love this manga (now an anime too). Would highly recommend. Great art, great story, character and world building. It does have some BL elements to it? By that I mean that one of the main characters is a closeted homosexual and it’s explored in a metaphorical way. There isn’t any romance from what I gather from the story so far but the main characters do have a complex relationship that’s neither romantic, platonic or sexual. I love the horror and mystery aspect to it also. This is English translated. Review: Supernatural horror - The supernatural and horror aspects are 10/10. Also the plot is different & intriguing to anything else I've read. It says it's Yaoi, but it's more about just who or what is in Hikaru's body & what is happening in the town and how it's tied to Hikaru Reading this leaves many questions and loving the characters, Hikaru too, but also scared of what he could do, as he can be cute and then suddenly go very creepy ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 3,644 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 11 in Mangas for Young Adults 25 in Fiction Comics & Graphic Novels for Young Adults 69 in Manga (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,614 Reviews | ## Images ![The Summer Hikaru Died, Vol. 1: Volume 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71aptV4ScXL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great manga, can’t stop reading *by Y***O on 7 December 2025* Love this manga (now an anime too).
