Which Original Anime Scene in "The Summer Hikaru Died" Does Voice Actor Chiaki Kobayashi Want You to Pay Attention To? [Interview]

——Are there any scenes in the anime that you’d especially like viewers to pay attention to?

Kobayashi: I would say it’s the choir scene in episode 1. This scene is an anime-original element created by Director Takeshita, and it became a very important factor. It doesn’t appear in the original manga, so I think even manga readers will enjoy this important new addition, and I hope they’ll pay special attention to it.

The anime "The Summer Hikaru Died" incorporates many scenes that weren’t present in the original manga, creating a fresh experience even for fans who already know the story. Was Yoshiki right to choose to coexist with the “something” wearing his friend’s form? What exactly are the bizarre incidents befalling the village? Please be sure to witness it with your own eyes.
