It can be hard to find truly scary stories in anime, even though adaptations of Junji Ito’s work are becoming more common. Many other horror manga never get adapted for animation. However, The Summer Hikaru Died broke this pattern, becoming a popular horror series on Netflix. Sadly, the story might be ending soon, as the creator has revealed a significant development about the manga’s future.
Mokumokuren, the creator of the manga The Summer Hikaru Died, recently revealed that the story is nearing its conclusion. In a new interview promoting the article, the artist mentioned the manga is in its final arc and expressed some surprise at the attention it’s receiving, given the horror genre. While the ending remains a mystery, it’s natural for this chilling tale to have a definite finish.
Why The Summer Hikaru Died is a Must Watch
Recently, the anime series The Summer Hikaru Died has sparked some online debate, largely because of the Crunchyroll Anime Awards. While popular shows like Demon Slayer and My Hero Academia won several awards, The Summer Hikaru Died didn’t receive any. Given how rarely horror anime gets recognized, and how much the story of Hikaru Indo and Yoshiki Tsujinaka connected with fans, it’s understandable why some viewers were disappointed by this.
What makes The Summer Hikaru Died so appealing to both anime and horror enthusiasts? The series offers a compelling psychological story, mixing genuinely creepy moments with well-developed characters. The story centers around Yoshiki, who quickly discovers something is off about his friend Hikaru. It’s revealed that Hikaru isn’t who he seems – he’s a supernatural being inhabiting the body of Yoshiki’s deceased friend. Because Yoshiki is lonely, he chooses to maintain the friendship, which leads to a series of unsettling events. Although the original manga is nearing its conclusion, the anime adaptation is currently producing a second season.
The animation studio behind the popular anime Hikaru’s is now working on adapting another well-known manga series. They recently announced they will be creating an anime based on Kagurabachi, a popular action manga featured in Weekly Shonen Jump.
