The Summer Hikaru Died gets anime adaptation
The Summer Hikaru Died is getting an anime adaptation.
Revealed yesterday, the manga series, which was created by Mokumokuren, will make the jump to the small screen. More information about the anime will be revealed soon.
Debuting in 2021 via Kadokawa Shoten's Young Ace Up website, The Summer Hikaru Died has been compiled into four volumes; the fourth English volume will arrive on Yen Press on August 20. The fifth Japanese volume will launch on June 4. A synopsis for the series reads:
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...
