Over Booked Book Club - The Summer Hikaru Died by Mokumokuren (20s & 30s)

REGISTRATION RECOMMENDED

Your 20s & 30s are perfect for starting new activities and trying new books! Join us at the 20s & 30s book club and find something new to read!

This month we will be celebrating pride month in July! The book we've chosen is The Summer Hikaru Died by Ajani Olove Mokumokuren. This manga follows the story of Yoshiki, a teenager who discovered that his best friend Hikau has been possessed by an otherworldly entity.

"It has Hikaru’s face. It has Hikaru’s voice. It even has Hikaru’s memories. But whatever came down from the mountains six months ago isn’t Yoshiki’s best friend. Whatever it is, it’s dangerous. Carrying on at school and hanging out as if nothing has changed―as if Hikaru isn’t gone―would be crazy...but when it looks so very like Hikaru...and acts so very like Hikaru..."
