The Summer Hikaru Died, Vol. 4

As suspicion around "Hikaru" continues to build in town, Yoshiki is pulled deeper into a web of half-truths, old superstitions, and the growing realization that whatever replaced his best friend may not be entirely hostile -- or entirely safe. Mokumokuren keeps ratcheting up the dread as the village's buried secrets about the mountain and its spirits start surfacing, forcing Yoshiki to decide how far he'll go to hold onto what's left of his friendship. The horror stays quiet and character-driven rather than jump-scare heavy.
