Lato, kiedy umarł Hikaru. Tom 6

光が死んだ夏 [Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu] #6

by Mokumokuren, Patryk Skorupa (Translator)

Yoshiki zauważył, że coś zajęło miejsce Hikaru, jego najlepszego przyjaciela, z którym wspólnie dorastał, ale decyduje się dalej wieść życie obok tej istoty. Przed chłopakiem staje nagle Tanaka i ujawnia prawdę na temat tożsamości nowego Hikaru. Dotychczasowe plany bohaterów zostają poddane w wątpliwość. Ich podejście ulega zmianie. Ale jamy łączące światy powiększają się i nie czekają, aż chłopcy dojrzeją. Trzeba je zbadać, a początek śledztwa wypada w Zabranodze, gdzie mieszka Maki...

Hikaru really said: "I would still love you if you were ... an elephant", and I think that's beautiful.

Of course it’s another five star read what else wouldn’t it be?!

The plot moves forward a little bit, as the boys finally discover what “Hikaru” truly is, and they’re tasked with a mission to close the different holes to the other side in order to save their town. And it’s so fun to finally have definite answers, it allows us not to be too confused in the plot and just enjoy it fully. But I’m still terrified and I genuinely can't guess what can happen next, because this mission they feel compelled to is a very big for the shoulders of two children (well, a teenager and an otherworldly entity).

We get a little bit more development for Yoshiki, specifically about what he feels for “Hikaru”, and it’s so interesting. He realizes what the reader realized long ago, which is: they're two faces of the same coin. They both cannot find their place in society, one because he's literally not human, the other because of his queerness. And it’s such a subtle but beautiful way to address Yoshiki’s feelings about his homosexuality, that feels very relatable, even in a literal horror manga. His biggest fear is to be alone, so that’s why he will cling to “Hikaru” with everything has. Is it just selfishness, or genuine care for the other, or maybe a little bit of both? These characters are definitely lovable for their complexity.

the story keeps getting more interesting, and each volume is better than the last.

i'm very intrigued by how this will develop; it becomes more disturbing and fascinating each time. yoshiki and 'hikaru' definitely have a long way to go, although the real question is how their story will end?

i really hope the anime adaptation is good. i hope it gets all the love this incredible manga deserves!

We thought we knew what was going on I. The previous book, but Cool-Guy-McSunglasses comes in and gives them what’s really happening….also an errand to run and a ticking clock! 😃 Things are learned along the way that are weird and spooky, and really nice art that brings back memories of Junji Ito.

The horror is really horroring now.

oh my god, this is PEAK!! i'll write a full review once i'm done with the entire series.

[Urbon Adamsson · Rating 4 out of 5]

EN This is one of those series that consistently delivers a solid read, but never quite reaches the level of being truly fantastic — and once again, that is the case here.

There is no doubt that the plot has become more engaging as we gradually gain a better understanding of what is happening in these villages. However, the constant slow burn and the lack of a more pronounced dynamic between highs and lows prevent the reading experience from reaching greater heights.

Even so, it remains a series worth continuing.

--

PT Esta é uma daquelas séries que se mantém sempre como uma leitura consistente, sólida, mas que raramente chega ao patamar do verdadeiramente fantástico — e, mais uma vez, isso volta a acontecer aqui.

É inegável que o enredo se tem tornado mais interessante à medida que vamos compreendendo melhor o que se passa nestas vilas. Ainda assim, o slow burn constante e a ausência de uma dinâmica mais marcada entre momentos altos e baixos acabam por impedir que a leitura atinja outros níveis.

Ainda assim, continua a ser uma série que vale a pena acompanhar.

“i’ve been hiding who i am this whole time. that’s why i want him to be saved. because i’ll be saved too - as long as i’m with you.”

😭😭😭😭😭😭

[donutdot · Rating 5 out of 5]

not anothet cliffhanger!! i love how this series delves into the lore of the villages and how it differs across different parts of it.

"Hikaru" is not Noukuni-sama hurray, but now they gotta close the holes too??? good god. plsplspls let "Hikaru' be okay after this.

1st read:
me moriré

2nd read:
la verdad leí este tomo un poco por leerlo, de paso q lo tuve q leer en una web toda random y no es lo mismo q leerlo completo en un solo documento

"because I'll be saved too, as long as I'm with you" 😭😭😭😭😭 se imaginan q hubiese leído esto el mismo día q vi leviticus me mataba

"I want to be free" ☹️ mi pobre yoshiki

... me di cuenta de q maki no se acordó de qn era yoshiki por un segundo... y no le pasó tmb a la mamá al final del otro tomo? 😟😥 cada vez yoshiki se mezcla más y q estén pasando este tipo de cosas me preocupa saben

Y SE LLAMA YUTA MAKI? ME PUEDO REÍR. me gustó su sideplot acá, muy interesante y su hermano me recuerda a eren con pelo largo, aunq el hermano de maki no esté completamente desquiciado. me gusta q los personajes uno por uno tengan su propio papel importante. espero q haya un tomo enfocado en yuki, ella me cae muy genial tmb

y tanaka y asako son un dúo inesperado pero muy cool, los quiero. además de q la historia se vuelve mucho más tétrica y se atan un montón de cabos en este tomo. chef kiss

[Martin · Rating 4 out of 5]

The balance between queer coming of age story and eldritch horror mystery continues to be basically impeccable.
