Hikaru Ga Shinda Natsu

I'm surprised almost no one has realized this, but YenPress have been doing a free simulpub for several months now and the simulpub is why the team dropped the scanlation.
The chapters are temporarily free (in America, at least) on digital stores like Kindle, Apple Books, etc. but become paid after a while.

Thanks a lot for the tip!

WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED WHERE DID ALL THE CHAPTEREG FGO?>???

Got caught in that purge a while back. Only way to find them now would be to look for reuploads on other random manga sites.

A bit late to the party on this one but, I'm sad this group dropped it just because of it getting an official release. The translation and typeset was so good, with the notes explaining nuances in the language and even translating their country hick accents into English. The official release doesn't really do any of that which sucks.

So this got purged as well huh?
I get scantalations dropping this due to official releases, but the thing is that a lot of countries outside of USA rely on these scanlations as well, sucks to live in Latin America.
GG it was nice while it lasted I guess

Just wanted to say, that I randomly found the anime, and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it.
I mostly liked the heavy plot parts, not the slow, slice of life parts, but I got interested enough to check out the manga.
Annnnd it's gone.
Annnnd anywhere else, it's not even REMOTELY close to being up-to-date with the Japanese release (6 volumes, 30~20 chapters per volume. Current up to date seems to be 40 chapters, so 2 volumes...)

And that's how I stopped caring about the thing.
....Sometimes I've arguments with a friend of mine, that I only read trash manga, and honestly -- when high-level works get nuked, or get translated so slowly it'd be faster to learn Japanese? Yeah, it's easier to read meme-level garbage that you can just read 5 chapters of, dump, and go do something else.

I do think the fact that the boy's love tag is kinda weird..
'Hikaru' has confessed his love, but he himself has confirmed that he doesn't know whether it's romantic or platonic. Because he doesn't feel emotions the same way we humans do. But he does know that he cares for Yoshiki deeply so if you pass that off as gay, so be it.
Of course, This Manga is probably one of the best I've ever read. The art, the dialogues, world building and character interaction is beautiful.
I also would like to add how tragic yet comforting Yoshiki and 'Hikaru's' relationship is.
'Hikaru' wants to protect to Yoshiki, but 'Hikaru' being around Yoshiki is actively hurting him.
Yoshiki misses Hikaru alot, so I don't know if Yoshiki likes 'Hikaru' as much as he liked Hikaru.
And Yoshiki himself said the only reason he's keeping 'Hikaru' around is for his own ego/self benefit.
Yoshiki doesn't wanna be alone and he is the one who wants to 'save Hikaru' (He said it in Ch28, but I don't understand what he exactly meant)
How ever you see it, this Manga is spectacular, and if you still don't know why, go get some glasses mate.

Honestly I whole heartedly agree with most of this! But it is confirmed a queer manga/anime. The only reason that it's not under BL is because the author didn't want the readers only too focus on that aspect rather than the horror. As of right now I believe Yoshiki has confirmed feelings for the original Hikaru. Honestly its so hard to find queer horror and this is one of the best things I've seen
