Yoshiki and Hikaru have spent their childhood inseparable, the only two kids in their quiet rural village. Their bond is deep, but everything changes one summer when Yoshiki realizes his best friend isn’t the same person anymore. Though Hikaru looks and acts familiar, something fundamental has shifted, leaving Yoshiki with an unsettling certainty that the real Hikaru is gone. When Yoshiki confronts him, the truth comes out in a terrifying way—Hikaru’s body twists into something inhuman, a monstrous form that both threatens his life and confesses an eerie, possessive love. Torn between grief for the friend he lost and confusion over this strange being that has taken his place, Yoshiki can’t bring himself to walk away. Meanwhile, the village begins experiencing bizarre and sinister events, hinting at a darkness tied to whatever Hikaru has become. As the line between past and present blurs, Yoshiki must decide whether to cling to what remains or face the unsettling reality before him. Edit Translation
