The anime "The Summer Hikaru Died" began streaming on the major Chinese video platform "bilibili" on Tuesday, July 29.
"The Summer Hikaru Died" (abbreviated as "Hikanatsu") is based on the coming-of-age horror manga by Mokumokuren, currently serialized on the manga website "Young Ace UP" (KADOKAWA). The story interweaves the restlessness of youth with elements of fear.
The anime depicts the ordinary high school boy Yoshiki Tsujinaka as he experiences a series of mysterious and bizarre incidents after beginning to live with an enigmatic "something" that imitates his childhood friend Hikaru Indou. The spine-chilling developments, fueled by the madness lurking within both the "something" and the boy, have captivated many readers, with the original manga series surpassing 3 million copies in total circulation. The TV anime began broadcasting in July 2025.
