Netflix is setting the stage for one of its most anticipated anime debuts of the summer with a haunting new trailer for The Summer Hikaru Died. Based on Mokumoku Ren’s popular boys’ love horror manga, the series premieres July 5, 2025, and brings a chilling blend of rural mystery, emotional tension, and supernatural horror. The latest trailer offers a gripping first look at the psychological unraveling that begins when a close friendship is shattered by the unexplainable.
Animated by Cygames Pictures and featuring a moody, atmospheric opening theme titled “saikai” by Vaundy, The Summer Hikaru Died is already turning heads. The trailer from @NetflixAnime on X hints at a surreal and emotionally charged story in which small-town quiet is disturbed by the terrifying truth that Hikaru is not really Hikaru anymore. As the lines blur between grief, fear, and devotion, this series promises a unique horror experience with plenty of emotion and genre-defying thrills.
