The Summer Hikaru Died

光が死んだ夏

Yoshiki and Hikaru are two boys from a small village who have been inseparable since childhood. They are the only children their age, and their days are spent in each other's company. But one summer, Hikaru is enveloped by a mysterious light, and from that moment, something fundamental changes.

Yoshiki soon realizes that the person who returned is not his friend. It has Hikaru's face, voice, and memories, but it is something else entirely. When confronted, the being reveals its true, otherworldly nature and threatens Yoshiki, even as it professes love for him.

Unable to let go, Yoshiki chooses to stay by the side of this creature that looks like Hikaru. As he tries to navigate a life with the being that replaced his friend, strange and unsettling incidents begin to plague their quiet village.
