The anime just started airing. Please no spoilers.

Basically it's about a guy whose friend Hikaru died in the mountains only to return several days later.. but it's not really Hikaru.

>Please no spoilers.
this is pretty much all that exists for this series

outside of the rare original abandoned run of this. which the author "fucking deleted everything" when they got popular. (totally understandandable)

I like them

I read most of the ongoing manga (the parts that I could find online) a week ago.

'hikaru'

Touch starved

The main guy always looks like he’s about to kill himself.

>>3976016
I would too

Is the anime worth watching? Fujo shows usually get cheap execution so idk

>>3976228
First two episodes have been great. As a horror show it's genuinely creepy.

>>3976228
It's good but i don't think it's actually gay at all

>>3976520
There will be a scene where Yoshiki is inside "Hikaru",

im trying to stay spoiler free while also trying to figure out if i want to start this, are the characters genuinely gay or is it just fujo bait, if there is even one actually gay scene ill read and watch the whole thing. i just dont think i can take being baited again

>>3976612
I'll try not to spoil much but: It is actually gay. It's not THAT shippy though. Meaning, the main character is canonically gay, he likes his best friend, and his struggles with internalised homophobia are an explicit main component of the narrative. What the other boy feels for him is a bit more ambiguous, by virtue of... Canon things I will not spoil. It's really homoerotic and charged with sexual tension, regardless.
Tl;dr: it is canonically gay, but it may not have a happy ending where they end up together. Main character being canonically gay is actually central to the plot.

>>3976612
It was marketed as BL at first, but now they're pretending it's just a "horror story" instead, not romance. Yoshiki doesn't even state he's gay, it's just strongly implied. Expect fujo bait.

>>3976620
I was so disappointed

Yoshiko is canon gay. It's just not a story about romance.

>The "it's totally not gay bro" schizos are even infesting the /cm/ threads
hilarious

I love how much fanart there is of this scene

I don't think I've gotten so invested in a seasonal anime for years, every week is torture waiting for each new episode

>>3976979
just one more day anon!

>>3976990
Cute

Cute goobers

>>3977103
Yoshiki looking happy is bizarre and unnatural.

>>3977134
It was back when his boyfriend was still alive

>>3977103
look at his stupid bowl cut

blushing yoshiki..anime can look kinda ugly sometimes but i love how he looks in this frame

giwtwm

>>3977367
whats his mans doing spreading that void goo all over him

>>3977372
He is the void goo.

>>3977374
why does void goo man do that
(my question is genuine I am curious what is going on, tho the show looks like its on netflix and i can check)

>>3977379
Yeah just watch it and find out. He's just having a bit of a mental breakdown

>>3975030 (OP)
Ep 3 made me happy, loving this show. They're so cute!

>>3976520
Yoshiki is implied to be into boys in episode 1 desu, that's why this hurts him so bad. Original Hikaru was definitely not gay.

>>3977386
>Original Hikaru was definitely not gay.
Undetermined. He died before that was established.

>>3977386
Based on the girlfriend talk in the flashbacks it seems likely he may have had feelings for Yoshiki but they were probably buried under a lot of repression.

>>3976622
If you're not disappointed, you're no longer alive.

>>3977367
>this feels good?
>feels good...
>it's comin' inside of me
Uoooo

There isnt enough art of them kissing

this show is amazing
read the manga too several months back and stopped following it at some point
but man is it making me fucking sad

yoshiki in the j a r . . .

>>3977710

>>3977736

>>3977736
The heart needs to be a bit more to Yoshiki's left.

I love hikaru

>>3978002
It's too bad he can't feel love and is aromantic.

Where are you guys reading the manga?

>>3978294
