Netflix has released the first teaser trailer for its upcoming psychological horror anime The Summer Hikaru Died, which is based on the manga of the same name and it looks like a creepy show!

The manga comes from creator Mokumokuren, and it follows a teenager who discovers that his best friend Hikaru has been possessed by an otherworldly entity, which in turn, forces him to face supernatural dangers.

The anime series follows two best friends Yoshiki and Hikaru, both from a rural Japanese village. “Growing up together, they were inseparable... until the day Hikaru came back from the mountains, and was no longer himself. ‘Something’ has taken over Hikaru’s body, memories, feelings... and everything they know begins to unravel."

The series is directed by Ryohei Takeshita and stars Chiaki Kobayashi as Yoshiki and Shuichiro Umeda as Hikaru.

There’s no release date yet, but it will be released at some point in 2025. It looks like a great show! Checkout the trailer and let us know what you think!
