A CREEPY Manga About Moving On... 

So yeah...this is getting an anime now

It is kind of sad how many amazing manga people overlook just because of the BL tag that comes with it. Even when it's proven time and time again (Given, Sasaki to Miyano, etc.) that the genre carries some very talented authors and amazing stories. Even some of the NSFW ones have gotten me heavily invested (Dear Gene is up there as one of my favorite manga atm) and while the genre definitely has it's less savory tropes, any BL fan will tell you that, so does your typical "romance." I've been following BL for a long time, and I think it's about time people stop immediately dismissing manga for having that BL tag, or even dismissing the tag itself. Given, Sasaki to Miyano and The Summer Hikaru Died aren't just "exceptions" they're the ones people gave a chance. (Sorry if this comes off as passionate, it's just so annoying seeing time and time again people be surprised when a BL is actually good when they don't consume it outside of titles everyone recommends 💀 like I've been reading heartfelt and well written BL for ages lmao)

as much of a focus of yoshikis greif is, I feel like "hikarus" feeling are also extremely interesting. he is a monster, seemingly called by the dying wish of this poor boy, and inhabits that boys body. getting to experience the joys of being human, but also the complicated feeling that come along with it. he's new to all of this, he feels so strongly for yoshiki and wants nothing more than to just stay by his side. but he knows he's not the hikaru yoshiki loved, he knows he is just puppeting the dead body of this boys best friend/lover. but he can't help but feel that love back, even if yoshiki feels so complicated towards him and is just trying to move on. initially he is paranoid and possesive, but eventually, after an outburst, sees that his only wish is to stay by yoshiki and protect him. no matter what happens or how yoshiki feels, hikaru wants to just protect this precious thing that he loves so much a part of me just wants yoshiki to heal and move on and for "hikaru" to find out who he is and how to live a fulfilled life without his love. but another part of me wants them to figure it out, because they both seem to love eachother in some way even if it's very complicated on yoshikis side. they are very very cute together and I want to see them both happy. I don't know what loving this monster will do to yoshiki but maybe there's some way he can move on with the monster still at his side. if not that's fine, this is as much of a story about moving on as it is a romance manga. I feel like whatever happens I'll be ok with it

Not sure why a BL tag would "fool" anyone... A lot of amazing stories have gay romance.

Honestly the 'BL' tag can be pretty unreliable since it can range from anything between close friends that almost seem like a couple, to stuff that's R-18, so I'd suggest checking multiple websites to find out what something's really about. Hikaru ga shinda natsu is an epic manga, the suspense and the suspernatural horror is fantastic and the only thing that's slightly BL is the complicated relationship between MC and his dead friend (and the spirit now possessing him).

I read a lot of people being interested in the concept but "won't read" because it's "BL": BL isn't even the main theme, I don't even know why they put this tag there... It's like tagging Naruto as "romance" just because a boy likes a girl. Not the whole world is straight and so protagonists are allowed to be not-straight as well in a non-BL genre. If you're "straight enough", you can as well handle a guy showing affection to another dude without it affecting your own sexuality and just look past it to enjoy the mystery and horror aspects (which this manga is actually about! Dudes weren't even kissing... that one guy has just had a crush on his childhood friend)

Seriously... 9/10 at least for me. The immersive artstyle just makes me re-read panels very often. There was a manga called Namae no nai kaibutsu that gave me similar feels to this. The dread... the tension... the shock-factor. Definitely a must read. Thank you as always Kito-senpai!

Oh this love story tops every single complicated love stories I've ever read and watched... my heart actually feels heavy for both Yoshiki and Hikaru... or whoever that guy that impersonated that dead person.

The first time I came across this manga I didn't know what the title said and the description was empty but judging by the cover it looked like some slice of life with a slow build up of romance, i didn't sleep at all that night 😊

I read it and boi it was a shocker with mysteries and the sense of tension just eats you up in every panel. It's a must read and iI gave it an 8/10 overall a banger manga

0:33 damn the top 3 are all the type of manga that will f*cked up your soul

There are a lot of good bl stories out there. People need to look for shounen ai if they don't want the sex stuff. Shounen ai is where they mostly focus on figuring out their feelings and maybe hold hands by the end. But it leaves room for the story to be focused on more when it has a mystery or supernatural element. Yaoi, the super sex version, also has some good stories but that's....rare....you really have to dig through that shit to find the gold. Also, bl stories are just as formulaic and repetitive as straight ones. The only difference is the couple. And I would argue that bl has the most fucked up premises and characters. Read a story by harada and you will forever hate yourself.

The amount of effort this man puts is just crazy 🔥🔥🔥🔥❤❤

1:08 omg the use of diddly squat is gold

This might be weird to say but I love how much variety you give in your recommendations! Everytime I finish reading/watching a series I look to your channel for recommendations... and lately they've all been my cup of tea, this one being no exception😭🙌

It’s better to let what’s dead be dead and stay dead than holding on to the ghost of what was. The dead cannot create new memories for you, only the living can and becoming a prisoner to that memory is not what the departed would want. Being someone who has stepped into the world of horrific things through my job, I’ve seen all types of people. The thing that is hardest to help people with is the loss. Everyone moves at a different pace and no-one processes loss the same. I’ve started keeping cards on hand for therapists and psychologists because I believe in self help.

just finished reading what i could find of this manga and some scenes left me in TEARS. the art is hypnotisingly beautiful with the use of hatching and the buzzing cicada noises that cover each panel feels like they're a distraction from the depressing reality of this story. it would be great as an anime adaptation but the art's brilliance and eeriness along with its extra details that really sell it in the mange would ultimately be lost in anime form. can't wait for the next chapter, i'm literally hooked.

Let's go! You finally talked about this manga and did it absolute justice! I literally get all my manga/anime recs from you and seeing you talk about such a new and underrated manga really made me happy :D Keep it up man!

I am really happy knowing this story has been more recognised! I randomly found it and decided reading it thinking it would be a regular nice short story but when i saw the art and the concept of the story i just thought it definitely needed more attention bc it truly felt like one of those unique stories you find once in a while.

This manga is amazing, the art is incredible and some panels have me crazy chills.

i read this one and loved it! i keep checking every day to see if a new chapter dropped lol. can’t wait to keep reading

Kito senpai I’ve been watching you for a few months now and I just gotta say thank you. I’m a fledgling when it comes to anime and manga and your videos have helped me feel connected. Seeing a video of yours in my feed always makes my day! Just wanted to say this, thank you!!

Another manga that's gonna be add to my backroom lists of manga to read.. Very nice! 🗿

Thx Kito senpai! Im so looking forward to reading it!

Kai I just got done with WorldEnd and I really wanna thank you for the recommendation. This anime was very special. I just wish it had at least 5-8 more episodes. Thank you so much

I love this manga, it's a masterpiece.

I decided to take a look at it this morning and I'm hooked now. A bit annoyed at myself for having caught wind of it so early since I have to wait instead of binging through it.. Though that means I can support the author! :D

I always find the best stuff from you 😃 you have great taste. Wish this could become an anime

Yesterday, I watched your video and decided to give this Manga a try! [P.S. This is the first time I have ever read a Manga!] It was soooooooooooooooooo GOOOOOOOOOOD!!!! Now I'm in tears for when the next chapter will come out.....

Art is so beautiful and “hikaru” is so adorable no wonder ml fell for him

Thx for recomending this, i saw this on your shorts and quickly read it. Its sook gooodd wonder if there are similar one like this that is completed. Waiting is pain 😢

Jesus. This review alone almost made me cry. Definitely gonna give it a read. 👍

I’ll have to check this out. I love the premise already.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I FEEL LIKE. The manga has so much amazing things about it. I love it.

you had do me in like this I LOVE YOU KITO ON GAWD YOU THAT G

The mad ein abyss music in the beginning goes with everything lmao

This is one of my favorite mangas at the moment! its so good!!!

I really like manga like this and Mieruko-chan, where you are intrigued not only by the current slice-of-life plotline, but also by the crumbs of the overarching darker story.

It really does make question a lot of things specifically my sexuality.

I read this manga once since I was bored and looked at the horror manga stuff and then this popped up. I thought it was a nightmare or something. 10/10 still have nightmares from it 😔

Remember that video you made on boy's abyss? Well I read it and now I have clinical depression. This looks like a good one. Time to try it out

Bro think he's hikaru. 💀

Time to read a new manga!

MOST SHOCKINGLY TRAGIC SUPERNATURAL HORROR BL MANGA EVER! 👨‍❤️‍👨💔☠️👻📕😥😭

I can recognize that BGM anywhere made abyss music goes hard

So this is Gojo Sataro's backstory

I love this manga tbh great story

honestly there's sooooo many mystery and psychological bl that really good and make you can't sleep at night (such as Geshoku Kitan and A Second Goodbye to You) or even a bl that so heartwretchingly good (Like Dear Gene, The Scene of My Rumpspringa, and Barefoot Angel) these titles are so good that i want more ppl to read it despite them being bl

I read it, and it is really good I think everyone should try this. I have read many dark manga so it was not very heavy for me and I don't think that it has any dark material. Well who knows that my mind is messed up after reading dark mangas. But it is pretty good for me if was not dark but was scary because i was reading it alone at 12 o clock in night.

Does anyone know more mangas like this? I think I fell in love with this artist's artstyle :'D

Question! Since you don't mind psychological aspects or bl, have you ever seen/read the night beyond the tricornered window?

It’s Amazing.

I started it not that long ago, I can’t wait to finish it cause this will actually be my first horror manga besides deadtube😅

romance and yandere somehow... yes wholesome

Nice

I just read this on a whim today and then found this video to see who else read it because I’m waiting for volume 2

This is another great BL and tragic bittersweet story

Finally, someone talks about how good this manga is. I mean, I have not seen clips of manga critics, especially horror fans, talking about this work, and it is sad that they avoid it because they think it is BL. For me, as a person who follows BL works, especially horror ones, I have not seen any major statement about the presence of gays in this manga, like other terrifying BL manga. As if an error occurred when this work was marked as BL

It's getting anime!!

not me about to start reading at 2 am

Fuck an sns mutual of mine was obsessed with this manga and it tempted me to read it-Hell I even watched dubbed PVs of it now ajdbdhd

Can you Do an video about sacrificial princess and the king of beasts

Another dark one…

I just like how it’s psychological manga. A good one since a while. There’s too many boring romances slice of life romance’s where I’ve seen a billion times. Thank god Amazon put this in my recommended. lol

hi manga is unfinished for anime ill recommend you and has been completely abandoned,but the anime had been finished and has followed the light novel, idk if you ever heard of "durarara" its an anime with 60 episodes 65 if we count the ova's,season 1 has 24 episodes and season 2 has been split into 3 parts of 12 episodes totaling on 36 episodes for season 2,it is a pure Gem of a story,gang wars,factions within factions form,a little supernatural on the side all while a joker level villain orchestrates it all to happen behind the shadows,every character has some dark secret and it slowly gets revealed which character has which secret as the time goes on,season 1 had got this into my top 10,by the end of first arc of season 2 it had got into my top 5 and by the end of the whole anime it got into my number 1 spot,as far as im concerned there was never a more complex and chaotic story that works so brilliantly,oh did i forget to mention main cast is huge,like theres 15 main characters in first season and it just keeps increasing in season 2 please try to cover this underrated gem of an anime,i can't count how many times ive rewatched it

Sauce: The Summer Hikaru Died Manga

First and I need to read this manga

The one thing I dislike about this is…..I don’t have any shelf space to buy a copy.

Nah my friend saw this and told me to check it out we all loved it but the hand scene made us 😮 we had no clue it was a bl going into it

The plot reminds me of Jessica's Body, or am I tripping? lmao

Yea some of the BL stories I read, I got fooled by the cover and the BL tag, some of it have a really bad or disappointing ending..

In 3 years , a manga will be published . It will have the name of a star . The main character's name is nagito . This manga will trescend the fiction world by introducing the most insane mind bending story ever , full of mystery , plot twists , and chocking new concept . It will easily outclass classics as attack on titan , 20 century boys ... . The star is coming . 2026 . . .

Hey you can read this amazing manga named The Keys To Your Heart.

I just read this like 10 mins ago. Its 3 am and chapter 14-15 freaked me the f out

Is the manga already completed in english translation?

And weirdly enough this manga got me rooting for "Hikaru", the monster. As for now he's like an alien trying to make sense of this new world.

Where do you read your manga

Is chapter 16 available anywhere online?? I'm having a hardtime finding it

You barely notice it's a BL because I didn't read the genres and literally said "damn they were either really attached or they like like eachother" then I read the tags and shit. I'M SO SLOW I literally talked to people about it like "i don't know if it's a Bl it's implied" I PROBABLY LOOKS SO STUPID.

It was so good, but sadly I can’t find chapter 16 and further chapters 😢

I love horror bl, but I can never find any because most of them have stuff like incest, Age difference,rape, abuse it makes me super uncomfortable and with some past experiences I don’t feel comfortable reading that stuff. I don’t like those and I just love plot, it takes a lot of hard work to write a good and consistent plot for a story so I love those more. Does anyone have any good recommendations? I also would prefer it had less then 4 smut scenes.

after reading boys abyss and few others this genre is nothing new to me

in 3 years , a manga will published . it will have the name of a star . the main character's name is Nagito . this manga will trescend the fiction world by bringing the most mind-bending , full of plot-twists , mystery and action thriller story . it will introduce a never ever seen mysterious concept in the most original psychological scenario , outclassing easily classics such as 20 century boys , attack on titan ... First and last hint : the story won't begin ..... until HE says it began . THE STAR IS COMING .2026 . . .

This manga was so good. People avoid it due to the BL tag, and if you know, BL has a bad rap because it’s just the same trope and it’s just material for women to fetishize. (Some goes for straight tbh)

Omamoru no hemari

Was this ever really tagged as bl though? I just know that this was tagged as folk horror and tragedy. And was marketed as such when it's one shot was still in a josei magazine.

Eh after boys abyss this seems like manhwa

Dude did you watch Goddess Cafe Terrace ? An Anime similar to The Quintessential Quintuplets and Renai Flops also I want you talk about Seto Asami She the one who voices of the New Long Hair Waifu from Oshi no Ko

the amount of meltdown I have witnessed "REEEEE GAY SHIT" is hilarious on its own. I fucking swallowed this manga in two days.

anime name??

Is this a new trope I am not aware of or something? First killing stalking and now this? It seems like a seemingly innocent boy love manga turning into a horror one is a new trend.

Hi daddy

Only god knows what these mangakas are smoking to come up with these stories

Is it marked bl because they love each other in a romantic way or are they just close friends

fujimoto artstyle

Ppl who like bl and horror will be runing to read this lmao

Is it gay? Sorry but I gotta keep it halal.

you should've gave a gay warning too for some of the people in the back

What's with the bl tag tho 💀

Why its have to bl manga😢
