Why You Should Watch The Summer Hikaru Died

Kobayashi excitedly announced the second season of *The Summer Hikaru Died*, saying that the show really defined the summer of 2025 for them. They were thrilled to see the story continue and to reprise their role as Yoshiki Tsujinaka, expressing eagerness to see how his difficult journey unfolds.

I was completely hooked by this show! It’s such a fantastic mix of horror and genuinely creepy, atmospheric tension, and I loved the romance that blossomed between the two main characters. But honestly, the end of season one left me on the edge of my seat – their future feels so uncertain, and I’m dying to see what happens in season two!
