Guys I might be coping much.

After rewatching the anime and having a retrospective of Hirose character I think that I get to the theory that Hirose is a jealous character and that he loved Nakamura-kun since the beginning of the anime.

When you watch the episode where the class have to draw a sketch of Hirose you can see that Nakamura caught the attention of Hirose at how intensive he's staring at him, but also Hirose see the moment Nakamura-kun go out chasing Kawamura. In the next episode we see when they are having the PE class the scene when they got trapped in the PE room then Hirose ask Nakamura and Kawamura if they had a crush. (Not to mention the casualty that Nakamura got there after Kawamura and Hirose follows, what if Hirose knew that Kawamura was there and notice that Nakamura also got there and got jealous so he go there too?)

And in the valentines day episode, when Hirose ask Nakamura if someone give him chocolate, maybe hirose was curious to know if Kawamura give chocolates to Nakamura?

Anyway I might be coping too much guys but it just curious how this behavior of Hirose came from out of the blue, specially when Nakamura and Hirose weren't friends yet in the first scene. I think that it means that Hirose was interested in Nakamura ever since.

Ok guys please hear me out...

Ok so I came back to this song Beutiful liar by Vixx sub-Unit Leo (black hair) and Ravi (white hair) and I couldn't help but think about TSHD. This song encapsulates perfectly how Yoshiki feels about everything that happens, from aparenting being someone else (straight) to overcome his grieving for Hikaru. In this mv the lady of this music video is like a metaphor for OG Hikaru leaving of his life (because he died) and how Yoshiki pretends that everything is ok while Ravi ("Hikaru") is like his consciousness telling him that its time to let go.

I wish I was skilled in digital art to make an animated version of TSHD with this mv but sadly I sucks, so I post the video and what I feel about it, I hope you guys see what I mean.

**Spoiler alert**

I know that we know Hikaru's dad died but since this part isn't been animated yet that's why I mark the spoiler alert.

So what I wanted to point out with this caption of the manga is that Hikaru's dad doesn't look like he's regretting being killed by the impurities, in fact, is almost look like he's happy that he's not going to have any more responsibilities, no more work, wife or child support, it looks like he's happy to die. 🥀

If you like TSHD you'll definitely loved horror anime Pupa

The Summer Hikaru Died (a supernatural horror manga/anime) and Pupa (a body-horror manga/anime) share significant thematic and narrative similarities, particularly in their exploration of monstrous love, body horror, and the distortion of intimate relationships.

Core Similarities:

Monstrous Doppelgängers of Loved Ones: In both series, a protagonist is forced to deal with a loved one who has been transformed into a terrifying, non-human entity but retains the appearance and memories of their former self.

Body Horror & Transformation: Both utilize intense, unsettling visuals to show the transformation of the human body into something unnatural. The Summer Hikaru Died features a parasite-possessed Hikaru with a "grotesque" inner form, while Pupa revolves entirely around a sister turning into a monstrous creature and a brother dealing with the physical carnage.

Codependent/Toxic Relationship: The narratives focus on the protagonists' obsession with maintaining a relationship with the monster, despite the obvious danger. In The Summer Hikaru Died, Yoshiki keeps the "thing" that is not his friend.

The Loss of Humanity: A central theme is the mourning of the original person while navigating the dangerous, inhuman nature of the creature that replaced them.

Slow-Burn Psychological Tension: Both narratives leverage suspense to build dread rather than relying solely on jump scares, focusing on the mental toll of living with a monster.

Differences in Tone:

While Pupa is a more straightforward, intense, and often gratuitous body-horror story, The Summer Hikaru Died merges these body-horror elements with a deeply emotional, queer coming-of-age story and a more melancholic, eerie atmosphere.

Judging by the personality of the protagonists, who do you think is the dominant one?

I'm not talking about sexuality, I'm referring to who do you think is taking the lead in a sense of conversation and the direction of the story.
