This series continues being an obsession of mine!
Absolutely loved that we got Yoshiki and Hikaru doing some research on the history of their village. We’re slowly uncovering more information about the “impurities” that are plaguing this town now that Hikaru is not really Hikaru. It meant we got to see some new and interesting characters interact with the protagonists.
I also continue loving the aesthetic and vibe of this series. It truly impeccably creates atmosphere and tension. I love the sound effects (I often truly hear them in my head!) and the way the mangaka chooses what to focus on in specific tense or “spooky” moments.
Again. I love this series. I’m obsessed. No one can change my mind that this continues having strong queer energy and subtext ✨
