The Summer Hikaru Died, Vol. 1

Two boys lived in a village: Yoshiki and Hikaru. 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?

It has Hikaru s face. It has Hikaru s voice. It even has Hikaru s memories. But whatever came down from the mountains six months ago isn t Yoshiki s best friend. Whatever it is, it s dangerous. Carrying on at school and hanging out as if nothing has changed as if Hikaru isn t gone would be crazy...but when it looks so very like Hikaru...and acts so very like Hikaru...
