I Want to Hold Aono-kun so Badly I Could Die

I Want to Hold Aono-kun so Badly I Could Die

A manga about a girl who can see her the ghost of her deceased boyfriend.

I’ve always seen this manga in the manga magazine Afternoon but never read it until recently. Really shocked to see how it really has a lot of horror elements. Whenever the boyfriend ghost merges into another human it reminds me of full on body horror from John Carpenter’s The Thing.

There are many questions that both the girl and reader have for the existence of the ghost and I’m interested in reading more to find out more about him.
