The Summer Hikaru Died, Vol. 1
by Mokumokuren
NETFLIX PICKED THIS UP OH MY GOD!?!?!! The teaser trailer looks phenomenal, with the distorted bits feeling faintly reminiscient of Junji Ito's Uzumaki. I haven't been this excited about an anime in forever... I can't wait to re-experience this story on screen. Yoshiki and (not) Hikaru my beloveds <3
before reading
I wanted to buy a manga in Italy that I'd never seen/heard of before, and ended up with a copy of this one, barely able to fully translate the title (my italian is beyond rusty). It was wrapped up because it included a student ID card for one of the characters, so I couldn't take a peek at the inside panels to get an idea of the story. With just the cover and title to go off of, I suspected this would be a heartfelt or vaguely sad slice of life, so imagine my shock when I looked it up in the hotel and found out it's actually a psychological horror?? The surprise makes me really excited! Can't wait to brush up on my italian w this one.
