[N2] 光が死んだ夏

In February I tackled a manga, that I've been curious about for a while: When 光が死んだ夏 was published as a tankōbon in 2022 and was immediately a hit, I unfortunately only read the very first chapter before I gave up.

This was because it is set in a rural area of Japan and is told almost entirely in dialect, which I didn't have any experience in back then.

Now that I'm more used to reading various texts in Japanese, I wanted to try reading this series once more and found that what was a significant hurdle a few years ago, was now easily manageable and I was able to read the 6 volumes comfortably back to back even.

There's of course the (eldritch?) horror and the grief of losing your best friend paired with the confusion over the thing that replaced him becoming him, but interwoven with that is also the theme of being young in a rural and mostly elderly community steeped in incomprehensible traditions. And both of these themes mesh extremely well!

I would recommend N2 reading abilities, but the manga has furigana on all kanji and is not particularly difficult to read except for the dialect, which you can look up and also will get used to after a while.

You can read the first few chapters and all new chapters for free on the publisher's official site:

I know most of this has been said far better by others but holy shit do I need to rant! I find it really sad yet funny how people will still try so hard to claim they aren't antisemitic and then be like"Israel shouldn't exist" that's one of the most bullshit things I've ever heard anyone say, then there's "I hate Zionist" when clearly you don't have the first clue about Zionism, it is simply put: Jewish people wanting a safe place to live, they've always been outcast everywhere so why is it so bad that they'd have their place? they've always been there and always will be in Israel. if you are anti-Zionist you are anti Jew. I've seen people try to claim that Israel started Hamas...?? like? what??no... sis you good?. most people, even now still don't know which river and which sea and it's embarrassing! I know I often come at this topic from a queer lens as I'm gay and trans and not Jewish personally, but honestly I'm scared both for Jewish people, and my fellow queers, Jewish folk I know personally have said to me they don't feel safe I don't feel safe around a lot of people anymore aswell for my queerness, because they claim to be allies... but how can you be my ally when you support Palestine? they fucking hate LGBT+ folk there, we are not welcome there, we would be killed there so to say "I'm an ally" feels so fake to me. to be part of the LGBT and still support that living hell of a place and act as though Israel started this and Palestine only wants peace and freedom? are you mad??! are you insane?? I only feel bad for people who want to be free from Hamas rule. and for the poor children who are raised into thinking Suicide bombing is a good thing and they should do it. not those who willingly support throwing my people off buildings and burn our flags. I will never fucking support Palestine as it is now EVER. if more people started saying free Palestine/Gaza from Hamas that would be a great fucking start. I am so fucking pissed off with some people my fucking lord. and another fucking thing! stop acting like Israel started October 7th! Israelis were murdered over nothing, I watched videos of Hamas shooting and killing people and even dogs. They are monsters they are rapists! you are supporting baby killers! you are supporting the real genocide! NEVER FORGET THE TRUTH OF OCTOBER 7th, because Hamas want to kill us all, Jewish, gay, trans, Queer, non Muslim! they are terrorists, they want to do October 7th over and over and over and over until there are no Jews left! FUCK HAMAS

The amount of study materials that I have physically (a.k.a. Books) is insane. I am just now realizing it.

Yes I know it's stupid of me to have this much, but i like a variety of materials (even if they might be the same or not) ((the stuff in the last pic: One has just notebooks, the middle has various things, and the last set there are more elementary type learning?)) (( pic before that is word searches or crosswords))((with the magazines, the last plus a little of the middle are Junon magazines from years ago))

I also have a few learning varieties such as documents, photos and audio clips on my pc.
