The Summer Hikaru Died: New horror anime premieres July 5
A creepy companionship goes horribly wrong in this new Japanese tale of terror. If you like puzzle mystery thrillers, small towns with dark secrets, or dark coming-of-age stories, the latest anime to hit this summer might just be the one for you. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Tentatively named The Summer Hikaru Died, this new series is billed as a supernatural horror drama, blending coming-of-age emotion with chilling suspense, and will premiere on anime's biggest stage on July 5, 2025. What is 'The Summer Hikaru Died' about? Adapted from Mokumokuren's hit manga, this horror anime centers around two teenage boys—Yoshiki and Hikaru—who've been best friends since childhood. Once Hikaru goes missing in the local mountains and mysteriously returns a week later, something feels… wrong. Then one summer day, as they eat lunch together, Yoshiki nervously ushers into the room what will become the heart of the story when he quietly asks, 'You're not Hikaru, right? What remains, after all that noise and clatter, is a haunting, poignant tale of seeking one's true identity, losing all that is familiar and beloved, and fearing the unknown. Now, as Yoshiki gets to know this new 'Hikaru' under his family's roof and within the tapestry of their everyday lives—not to mention under the watchful eyes of village lore—cloaked in secret and confusion, bizarre happenings start to plague their peaceful hamlet.
