I've been eyeing this series since the first time I heard about it and it didn't disappoint! Following Yoshiki, who's bestfriend and love interest Hikaru went missing in the forest for a month and then returned like nothing happened. Only Yoshiki quickly realized that "Hikaru" is not Hikaru. It depicted grief, loss, and uncertainty really well- Yoshiki liked Hikaru, but never had the chance to tell him that and even without the romantic feelings, the fact that they have been together made his death hits really hard. We never know how Hikaru felt for Yoshiki, but "Hikaru" definitely liked Yoshiki (either on his own or leftover from real Hikaru's feelings). Despite that, "Hikaru" could also be cruel towards Yoshiki, hurting him on several instances.
The story started out immediately, which I appreciated and took me off guard. It established the relationship and setting really well within the first 3 pages of the manga, and I truly got jumped lol. The mysteries are also intriguing- on how hikaru died, how yoshiki realized "hikaru" is not hikaru, what is "hikaru" and weird things happening around the village. I'm really looking forward for its sequel!...more
