Here, I'll talk principally about animes because these days, they are my favorite kind of movies and series.

The Summer Hikaru Died

A resume of this serie : Yoshiki Tsujinaka and Hikaru Indo are two teenage boys and childhood friends living in a small town in rural Japan. Despite having opposite personalities and different hobbies, the two maintain a close friendship.

However, on a winter day, Hikaru is fatally injured while hiking in the mountains alone. Before he dies, a mysterious eldritch being comes across him and consumes him, becoming him physically in the process.

This "Hikaru" has all the feelings and memories of the original, yet remains a separate being, something Yoshiki realizes rather quickly. Yoshiki still wants to stay with "Hikaru"; however, his alien nature, along with other eldritch beings and hunters of said beings, may make that impossible.

My personal opinion:

First of all I absolutely loved it, it's basically in my TOP#5 favorite series, not just Anime's series!

In this series, we talk about internalized homophobia, and the way the author shows us how Yoshiki feels about it and how it affects him BADLY is such a good way.

With this, it's easy for you to understand how a big part of the LGBTQ+ community feels about it.

Some scenes of this series are probably gonna make you cry: the way they look at each other, the way Yoshiki accepts Hikaru and defends him even if he's not even the real Hikaru anymore, and all that because he loves him so much.

If you watch it or already watched it, you must look at the TikTok or YouTube clips—they’re gonna make you cry like a big baby, or you'll have a wave of nostalgia!
