Hello everyone~ I'm Saori from Otaku Republic!

This time! That work whose anime was broadcast last year and whose popularity spread all at once... News has been announced that it will reach its final chapter in just 2 more times!

When I heard this news, I was quite surprised, but as someone chasing the latest chapters, I could only be convinced~... So, it was announced that Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu will reach its final chapter in 2 more chapters... on October 30, 2026, ending its serialization!

The work named Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu is a story taking place in a small settlement that can be called a 'village' in a certain countryside. The protagonist Yoshiki had a childhood friend named Hikaru with whom he grew up together all the time since early childhood. Hikaru, who could be called a best friend, experienced an incident where he went missing in the mountains for about a week one day, and although he was safely discovered and protected afterward... only Yoshiki noticed. That is not Hikaru. It is a monster harboring something inside Hikaru's body.

At the starting point of the story, the monster's true identity and purpose were shrouded in many mysteries. However, at present with the final chapter only 2 chapters away, many mysteries, as well as the pasts and conflicts of the characters, have been revealed, and now it has reached the stage of what choices Hikaru... no, whatever harbors inside Hikaru, and Yoshiki will make, and what conclusion they will reach... No~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ what will happen... I want the two... to become happy, but... but... Ah~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ the final chapter is way too concerning!

Once again, here is the schedule up to the final chapter!

Because there is quite some time from the present point, please buy all volumes of the manga during this time and catch up to the latest chapter, and then the final chapter!
