For the past two years, Mokumokuren’s haunting manga series The Summer Hikaru Died has held the horror community in a chokehold. Part coming-of-age drama, part existential body horror, the story of Yoshiki and the "thing" wearing his dead best friend’s face has been deemed "unadaptable" by some fans. The delicate sound design, the oppressive humidity of a rural summer, and the grotesque beauty of the "Other" Hikaru seemed too niche for mainstream anime.

Furthermore, the review noted the story's profound depth, stating, "While it isn't classified as a straightforward boys' love title, the constant undercurrent of tension between who you are and what you look like makes for an undoubtedly queer story." the summer hikaru died animation exclusive
