The Summer Hikaru Died, Vol. 3 by Mokumokuren

5.0

This was such an intriguing continuation of the story. I absolutely adore the artwork, the choice of how certain scenes are displayed - like that How does she know panel, and the entire page dedicated to the bath scene. The way that village lore, Hikaru's exploration of his feelings and his abilities, and how Yoshiki responds to that, is explored is perhaps some of the best I've seen in a YA manga. It reminds me of A School Frozen in Time, in that it weaves a mystery into everyday teen life, but this one has a much darker origin. I can't wait to see what happens in the next volume.
