When you finally start to get some answers and then you are cut off by the end of the volume (literally, hehe) …

what if all the terrible things happening were related to my existence and we had to figure out what's actually going on while being actively hunted down (even though we don't know) and we were both boys

We're really leaning into the horror now with more spirits making their way down the mountain and into the village. And that cliffhanger! I reacted just like Yoshiki with how oddly attached I've become to 'Hikaru'.

The changing dynamic between our protagonists is one of my favourite things about the progression of this manga. It's obvious Yoshiki is starting to grow fond of 'Hikaru's' company, beyond just his fear or forgetting the real Hikaru. It's even more interesting now that more people know about him amidst the escalating supernatural presence in the village.

Artwork is amazing as usual!

After three volumes of rich character development and world-building, the story is finally delving into more compelling plotlines.

I’m really enjoying the horror atmosphere of the series, and I hope this aspect continues to be explored more deeply in future volumes.

This is, in my opinion, the best volume yet—raising the stakes and adding layers of suspense that I’ve been waiting for.

Fantastic volume! It's great that some of the mysteries have been revealed, but I still have so many questions! Plus that cliffhanger ending! :O

This volume leans more into the horror aspect of the story and the mystery of what's happening in the region. Disturbing incidences in the surrounding towns have increased so much that everyone is starting to notice. Yoshiki is committed to helping Hikaru make sense of his existence, and I loved seeing him finally start relaxing around him. 5 stars

QUÉ FUE ESE FINAL?!?!?!

Amo que con cada tomo el manga agrega más piezas interesantes al horror y misterio, la idea de esta forma de persona en el lugar es asombrosa y creepy. Le agrega más riqueza con rituales, leyendas, tradiciones e historias arraigadas en este pueblo. Un dios atrapado que ha sido liberado. Y que además esto ha perseguido a varias generaciones a través de los años.

Y también es interesante ver cómo de a poco Yoshiki y Hikaru se van dando cuenta de las consecuencias de todo esto, y la culpa y pena de ver que otros son lastimados. Lo que empezó como un deseo personal (de Hikaru de no dejar solo a Yoshiki) y Yoshiki (de no dejar ir a Hikaru y enseñarle al monstruo a ser bueno) está afectando a todo el pueblo.

“... la muerte.. puede ser mucho para la gente”

Y la gran pregunta… ¿puede “Hikaru” vivir como humano? ¿Ser un humano? ¿sin consecuencias?

“lo que es importante para Yoshiki.. es importante para mi…”

Y sigo lastimada por cada escena del pasado, cuando Hikaru era Hikaru. Y la escena de Yoshiki tratando de hacer duelo y honrar la memoria de Hikaru de alguna forma… eso me dejó mal.

“Lo siento por todo esto. Mientras él esté aquí… nadie te llorará. Pero con él aquí, soy feliz. Porque así no te olvidaré. Olvidar es lo que más me asusta”

Y dentro de la pena gótica que me da todo esto, también me alegra ver que Yoshiki está viendo a “Hikaru” de otra forma y no solamente como lo que queda del original. Acepta que no es el original, que son muy diferentes y que está bien. Por su parte, “Hikaru” no sabe que nombre ponerle a sus sentimientos por Yoshiki.

Tengo que hacerle mención honorable a la escena del hombre corriendo, casi se me para el corazón del miedo. Y la cosa debajo de la mesa! nonono. Y el padre del armario, tendré pesadillas.

Otra cosa que me encantó fue la señora ;-; siento que entre tanta incertidumbre y personajes en los que no sabes si confiar, y cosas malas pasando… tener a alguien que entiende, y que quiere ayudar es como un abrazo cálido ;-; señora, sea eterna.

La escena final… en shock.

The cliffhanger ending 🫣😲

Honestly don't know what's going to happen I'm vol 5 but it can't come quick enough. I love this series because I never know what's going to happen next.

I'm also excited for the anime that's just been announced as well.

WTH was that ending??!!

Yoshiki is still doing his best to navigate this bizarre new normal, which mostly involves trying to keep his best friend from accidentally eating someone.
Yoshiki, for sure, is stuck between loyalty, fear and a bizarre, unyielding affection for his very, very changed friend.

2025 reads: 214/300

in this fourth volume of the summer hikaru died, yoshiki begins to accept “hikaru” as a separate entity. however, his true identity remains a mystery, even to himself. the two decide to investigate the lore behind their village’s mountains, finding about an ancient god known as nounuki-sama, who may or may not be “hikaru.”

i loved this volume! taking a deeper dive into the history of the mountains was so interesting. since “hikaru” took over hikaru’s body, he has some of his memories, but not enough to completely know the indous’ connection to the mountain and to the god who just might be “hikaru.” i can’t wait to learn even more about where “hikaru” and the village’s curse came from in the next volume.

me gusta pensar, quizá de forma egoísta, que mokumokuren ha creado esta historia concreta y específicamente para mí. lo tiene TODO: dos chicos viviendo juntos un caluroso verano rural, pelo blanco/pelo negro, lore lúgubre de un pueblo de montaña, “es mi mejor amigo (algo más 🧐🏳️‍🌈⁉️) que desapareció y he came back WRONG pero tener algo que se asemeja a él es mejor que no tener nada”, una intriga y un misterio que te tienen aferrada al tomo como si fuera el último hilo que te mantiene con vida, una maestría increíble para usar las viñetas y las expresiones faciales y hasta las onomatopeyas??? qué maravilla de manga. qué ganas de saber qué va a pasar, especialmente después del final de este tomo que le pienso enseñar a mi psicólogo para que entienda por qué necesito triplicar las sesiones hasta que salga el tomo 5. 100/10

Not me telling my friends how I am obsessed with this series even though nothing has really happened yet but the characters are just SO good- *volume 4 enters the chat*

I love Hikaru and Yoshiki so much it's insane. I need volume 5 like yesterday, how am I supposed to survive until I have it in my hands.

Sempre più innamorata di questa serie, davvero, sono troppo felice di averla iniziata 🤧

4/5 estrellas.

"Está bien. Incluso si terminás matando a alguien en el futuro... yo también voy a compartir la culpa."


QUÉ FUE ESE FINAL, POR FAVOR, UN RESPIRO.

Wow, un tomo alucinante. Muy oscurito y con una ambientación magnífica que te hace sentir todo el tiempo que estás ahí, junto a Hikaru y Yoshiki invastigando el misterioso pueblo.

Me gustó mucho el ritmo de este volúmen, sentí que no decayó en ningún momento.

Los chicos están buscando respuestas y entre ellas quieren saber "qué carajos es Hikaru", y mientras avanzan Yoshiki se convence más y más a sí mismo de que Hikaru debería quedarse pero él también correría con las consecuencias.

Estoy desesperado por saber cómo continúa esta historia, no me dejen así 😱
