Description

From Yen Press:
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.

Original Web Manga

Hikaru means Light, so the title can translate to "The Summer the Light Died."

Note: Nominated for the 16th Manga Taisho and the Tsutaya Comic Award in 2023, for Eisner Awards in the Best U.S. Edition of International Material - Asia category and the Harvey Award for Best Manga in 2024 and for the American Manga Awards in the Best Continuing Manga Series in 2024 and 2025.
