@enhypenlover.1009: i feel so bad for hikaru hes such a cutie☹️☹️ #tshd #thesummerhikarudied #anime #hikaru #thesummerhikarudiededit

red_gloomurai :

i sometimes think its interesting to view the anime as instead of hikaru dying, he accepted his homosexuality and is just seen as a monster

castiel :

guys what if "hikaru dying" was js a metaphor for him coming out to yoshiki and thats why hes the only one who knows abt his "death". cuz hikaru only came out to yoshiki and not the rest of the town. what if thats the reason why yoshiki is "grieving", cuz he thinks itll never be the same, and the new hikaru is js the true hikaru, not the repressed one. And yoshiki is js battling his internalized homophobia and struggling to accept the new, openly queer, hikaru? im not crazy.

Gojo’s Sneeze! :

It pains me how this manga is still ongoing and anime is airing while they are trying to overturn gay marriage ☹️

maisie :

it’s so very well written

💜☀️APOLLO☀️💜 :

Fun fact! Hikaru died in the winter NOT the summer “but whys it called the summer Hikaru died?” BECAUSE YOSHKI EXCEPTED HIS DETAH IN THE SUMMER 😭

jayberriezz :

It is a metaphor but that doesn’t mean it’s tied into everything all the time, it still has a plot line. 😁 Unless you’re talking about Yoshiki viewing himself as a “monster” like Hikaru.

☆IRL Kiana Kaslana☆ :

I WATCHED IT BECAUSE THE CLIPS ON TIK TOK LOOKED SILLY AND NOW IM CONSTANTLY IN A WORLD OF PAIN

nachman 101 :

somehow everywhere I look there's metaphors AND ITS ALL SAD AND SOMEHOW RELATED TO YOSHIKI😕

sevithsevido :

The fact that Yoshiki in volume six calls himself a monster just for being gay and having anxiety and depression in a small town!! Btw the anime will only go up to volume five so we will have to wait a while to get it animated!!! 😭😭😭

Lhara 🌙 :

I also hate when people reduce Yoshiki to just some sad, pitiful guy. He’s written so well as someone who actually starts liking the monster and defending him. I really hope the manga goes that way idk, with a selfish Yoshiki who just wants to be happy, even if that means not being human anymore.

𝕸𝖎𝖗𝖔 ❕🐀🚿 :

hikaru died during winter. He became truly dead when Yoshiki accepted his death– during the summer. This gets me every time I can't anymore

White Monster :

eliaz :

honestly, watching the anime a few days ago, I see TSHD as a metaphor that when one loses another, they'll hang on to whatever is left of the other

—EITAN :

it's still a story within itself without the metaphor tho

They're so inlove but can't express it and it's painful

The metaphor just makes it even sadder as it is

Chat I love it when stories have plots and then a parallel meta narrative
