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...

Drama, with an LGBTQ theme, that entertains and asks what you do for a friend that might not be your friend but something else.

Crazy interesting. If a clone exposed itself would I protect it.

Watch the Netflix adaption that starts this month.

I enjoy Anime but don;t read a lot of Manga, this is too good.

won first place in the male reader’s category of Takarajimasha’s “This Manga is Amazing!” list in 2023 and won 11th place in the Manga Taisho that same year. Mokumokuren’s breathtaking work has been adapted into various media, including a novel and a Netflix-exclusive anime series.
