The Summer Hikaru Died episode 5: A brief recap

Ad

The previous episode, titled Wig Ghost, started with a paranormal occurrence in Yoshiki's house, as Kaoru was taking a bath. The episode then shifted to the school, showing a segment between Yoshiki and Hikaru as they were attending the cooking class. After talking for a bit, Yoshiki and Hikaru went to a deserted classroom so that Yoshiki could feel inside Hikaru again.

After that, the next day, Yoshiki, Hikaru, and Yuuta went to the mall, and Yoshiki showed off his talent and skills at the claw machine in the arcade. After talking about the "Wig Ghost", Hikaru went back to Yoshiki's house to crush and eat the ghost.

After Hikaru had not come out for a while, Yoshiki rushed in and found Hikaru drowned in the tub. As he reached to grab him, the Wig Ghost pulled him in, too. After drowning for a while, Yoshiki was pulled into a mysterious dimension with strange things, as he ended up in front of a young version of Hikaru in front of him.

After struggling in the dimension for a bit, both Hikaru and Yoshiki were back in reality. As Hikaru spotted the Wig Ghost at the corner of the ceiling, he immediately crushed and ate it. Hikaru joined Yoshiki's family for dinner as the end credits rolled in.
