That definitely makes alot of sense.
But "the love of your life" made me crack up
Also the fact that you joined mangadex today and the first msg you post is replying to my one is kinda cool.

Hope I dont come off as wierd but thats sooo cool.
Anyways the only reason i commented was because I was pissed that nobody was actually giving good reviews on this manga, considering how deep and complex it is.
Like everybody only talks about how its so gay (not that its a bad thing) but theres so much more than just the gayism (if you consider it gay)

Yea I agree, its often boiled down to "doomed bl" but genuinely its a piece of art work. It handles grief very interestingly and 'hikaru' s character is such an interesting one. And yoshiki, oh boy. the poor boy has insane self esteem issues, but not the ones usually displayed in media. he KNOWS hes a 'monster' but hes not, and the true monster can see that. He relates to that actual monster, and begs the people around to be nice to it (like asako), and hes nice to it as well, really nice, and excuses all it does. Because he relates. and damn thats great writing. (also sorry for noticeably late response, I actually read the manga all over again 💀💀)

I relate heavily to yoshiki and yea my best friend didnt die but I still relate to the way he thinks about himself, and the people around him.

I didn't notice it until you mentioned it, but yeah your right. And the reason Yoshiki pleads everybody to be nice to 'hikaru' is because Yoshiki sees himself in it. And I also love the fact that yoshiki knows hes a monster. He's very self aware and knows all too well that he is also effed up in the head💀
Just like you I also love how yoshikis self esteem issues are portrayed, theyre very subtle unlike how in other mc's their issues are literally their whole personality traits.
At first i didn't understand why the psychological horror tag (cuz i thought it was supernatural horror not psychological horror) was added, but now I definitely do 💀
And I think I need a reread too, because hikaru ga shinda natsu is just the type of manga that you have to read over and over again to pick up on the tiny details in it , because mokumokuren (despite the kinda funny name) is a mastermind that is probably as effed up in the head as their characters.
Also kinda off topic, but have you read oyasumi punpun?
Its also a psychological horror that is similiar to hikarugashindanatsu (but a tad bit more tragic and dark) but if you like hikaru ga shinda natsu, you'll probably like oyasumi punpun aswell.

Def heard of pun pun. Not sure if im gonna read it any time soon, I dont have much time (more like I procrastinate every deadline and i dont allow myself to read/watch anything other then fast form content that actually ends up taking a lot of my day, so I dont have anyone to blame but myself)
Ive been getting better tho, so actually maybe during thanksgiving break? (american holiday)
also, really sorry for leaving you hanging for a whole month. I hope you've been doing well?

Glad you're getting better :)
Im embarrassed to say this but I literally checked my notifications for your reply everyday 💀
But I'm glad you replied even if it was a tad bit late.
But when you do read pun pun, a warning, don't expect it to be similiar to hikarugashindanatsu in anyway or form.
The only reason I'm recommending it is because as a fan of hikarugashindanatsu I really liked pun pun aswell.
Also, I recently read an article about how this manga is set to end with 10 volumes in total, and an anime is said to release soon.

Ahh cool. Im always afraid of announcement's made without a time. It'd probably still be 2 years, depends on studio tho. And budget. I only hope its a high one, because it IS a very high rated manga with an award, after all. If not, ill finally become one of those "the manga was better" people lol

More than the actual anime releasing, im more excited to be finally an og fan for some piece of media.
This is the first time im reading a manga that is indie and hasn't blown up YET. Im excited for when the anime releases and everybody's gonna be talking and raving about it and then I'm gonna be like "yeah i read the manga waaaaay before all you shallow anime fans did" sorry if I sound childish and also this is entirely my delusion because where i live, everybody is either a naruto fan or a demon slayer fan 💀 thats also the reason why come to forums to rant 💀cuz nobody has ever heard of the stuff I watch or read (apologies for not being relevant to your comment)

Yoo me too! This'll be my first manga I read without any amount of anime available. I'll brag about it so much but lowkey don't know many people to brag too haha. Being an og fan is the highest feat in the anime scene so I cant wait to receive my throne with all the others on this thread! and watch over my peasant's lol.

Yes, let's watch over the peasants!!!
Also, i know this is gonna sound kinda weird and super cheesy, but I hope our string of back and forth comments don't end here. I really liked chatting with you cuz it felt nice to see someone else have similiar thoughts and opinions as me. So I guess I'll see you when the next volume arrives.
Also sorry for the late reply..school is really testing my sanity...

haha schools testing mine too. took a test thursday. almost positive im not getting a good grade. im not doing good in the class so I really need a good test grade right about now :)
Anyways, I would never let this string end randomly, but also im slightly worried a mod will do their job and stop our conversation in the forum, telling us to instead talk privately lmao. But the manga is small enough here to pay any attention, at least I hope

Also, the Yen press has chapters up to 31.3 (29,30,31,31.1,31.2,31.3) so,, I think no one has bothered pirating these chapters as of late. I MIGHT just buy the whole series with the new chapters (to support the artist). Not decided yet lol. Also, not sure if these chapters are even translated, and thats why the aren't uploaded.

Im pretty new to the site but ive never seen any mods do that (as long as we talk about the manga right?)
Also it's really cool that you thought to buy the books, are you going to buy the physical copy? If so, its actually one if my biggest dreams to like own a bookshelf full of manga. Probably one of the 1st things I'd do when i get adult money, and it's always good to support our fav creators. And hikarugashindanatsu is still pretty underground , so it'll probably take a while for mangadex to update.

And by the sound of your comment, it looks like you only had 1 test. You have it soo much better than me for sure.
Because I have 3 humongous assignments (that are due monday) and 13 tests next month (mind you, all of em are finals)

That is insane dude wtfff. so uh, it turns out I do have it easy, maybe I should appreciate my lack of tests lmao. thanks for the enlightenment and humbling! Also, 13 finals?? How many damn classes are you taking????

Really, ive only read that mods exist in the rules, and I seen them comment on bigger manga but only about the actual manga or answering question. ofc they dont exist here (yet at least lmao, wait till the anime comes out) but for some reason I like to think of them as lords that have domain over so many cities (mangas) and only keep track of the big cities lol

I really want a manga collection too, but lowkey I dont have room for more books because my only bookshelf is filled with (normal) books. Also I get really embarrassed of people judging the content I consume but thats defff not part of itt

Im insane but not insane enough to take 13 freaking classes, theyre all mandatory!
Its just my country's shitty education system. Well judging by where you're from they might have manga at bookstores, right? But not for me unfortunately. You can find jeffkiney, david walliams, roald dahl and bla bla bla yknow the drill.. but when it comes to manga, dont even think about it. Online shopping is the only way to go 😔

Im so sorry you have to deal with that, sounds like torture. I live in a small town with a whopping 5 stores you can shop at (none carry books, and one has yet to have its grand opening) and as someone who dont willingly go anywhere, I wouldnt drive 20 minutes for a poor selection of manga (and yes i checked, no Hikaru in those stores next town). Amen sir/ma'am, online shopping is the way to go.
