The Summer Hikaru Died episode 2: A brief recap

The previous episode started with the revelation of the older woman's death. While Hikaru was pretty oblivious about the matter, Yoshiki suspected the former had something to do with the old lady's demise. As they were discussing the matter in school, one of the boys revealed his path home through a creepy forest.

Meanwhile, Tanaka arrives at the Kubitachi village, particularly at the deceased old woman's house. Tanaka then barged into the old woman's house along with some other men to look for clues regarding her death. While searching the house, Tanaka found a bunch of papers with Nonuki's name scribbled on them.

As Tanaka returned from the mountains, he found Hikaru's bag and a shrunken head inside it. Meanwhile, in the hills, Yoshiki was being attacked by a creature, but Hiraku saved him by eating it. The episode ended with Yoshiki discovering a different side of Hikaru.
