Digital Promotion: Free Chapters of The Summer Hikaru Died

Mokumokuren’s brilliant horror manga The Summer Hikaru Died has become this year’s most celebrated series, receiving noteworthy award nominations as well as the announcement of an upcoming anime adaptation. With fans eager to read more of the complicated tale of Yoshiki and “Hikaru,” Yen Press added The Summer Hikaru Died to the lineup of digital simulpublication series.

If you have yet to begin reading simulpub chapters of The Summer Hikaru Died, now is the perfect time to do so with a limited time promotion in which you can purchase the latest chapters for FREE! From 10/22 until 10/29, Chapters 31.1 and 31.2 will be free, so you don’t want to miss on this sweet deal for any reason!

And if you weren’t already familiar with this iconic Eisner and Harvey-nominated horror manga, then here’s a little taste of what is to come when picking up this title:

It has Hikaru’s face. It has Hikaru’s voice. It even has Hikaru’s memories. But whatever came down from the mountains six months ago isn’t Yoshiki’s best friend. Whatever it is, it’s dangerous. Carrying on at school and hanging out as if nothing has changed—as if Hikaru isn’t gone—would be crazy...but when it looks so very like Hikaru...and acts so very like Hikaru...

New chapters of manga that are part of this program are released simultaneously with Japan on platforms such as BOOK WALKER Global and comiXology.

In addition to the digital simulpub chapters, The Summer Hikaru Died is available now as full volumes in both print and ebook.
