Trans Megathread for the Week of December 30th, 2024 to January 5, 2025 - The Summer Hikaru Died

Here's to a new year! Here's my first mega try (also first time posting in a while due to reasons) but heya! Admittedly struggled a fair bit with self doubt and anxiety on this one as put it off for a while/other things caught up with me but I figure I'll be glad I did it once I've done it. It's kinda being done last minute though, so admittedly there's that...

I'd been intending to make the mega about something else originally when I signed up, but that would require more time on my part (and I just binge read this recently, so it all works out). Anyways, my subject of the week is The Summer Hikaru Died; it's a queer (BL) horror manga which is currently also scheduled for anime release next year (2025).

Content warnings naturally follow and further details will be spoilered.

Anyways, I should cut myself short at this (and make sure to have something properly written beforehand for next time). But anyways, thus far it's a strong recommend (if you feel alright with the content warnings) from me.

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

  • hello trans mega

    i finally talked to that one girl

    • Turn that letter into a boat and give it a Viking funeral

    • I'm sorry u dont have a new gf

      at the very least it sounds like a very healthy talk that was good for you, so grats on that tbh.

      • yeah I'm just... eh. idk

        i keep feeling kind of fucked because i was into her enough to open up google docs and start writing her a three page love letter just from thinking about her and meanwhile she genuinely was surprised that i had any kind of romantic thoughts about her at all is making me feel like

        like oh okay, i managed to keep one unbelievable poker face and she genuinely didn't have a single idea and that... hurts in a way i can't quite explain

        • I mean, that's kind of a skill? You can always become more expressive but whether or not someone will twig that you're crushing is entirely a matter of chance, social norms... I can also tell you for free that wearing your heart on your sleeve 24/7 is not that fun
