Higurashi When They Cry: Abducted by Demons Arc
| To make this simple...the order you put, for the most part was right. the whole point of having all the different questions arcs to be read first was because the entire story is part of one big mystery taking place in 1983. Higurashi no naku koro ni was originally based on a game so there's arcs only found in the game so for the manga they don't really count but the last two answer arcs are in fact in the manga i believe. In the order of the whole mystery, all other arcs must be read before the last two answer arcs, including the side stories but the side story that's manga exclusive is different. So officially the order is: 1. Onikakushi-hen 2. Watanagashi-hen 3. Tatarigoroshi-hen 4. Himatsubushi-hen 6. Meakashi-hen 7. Tsumihoroboshi-hen 9. Minagoroshi-hen 10. Matsuribayashi-hen Extras/Not totally Relevant: 5. Utsutsukowashi-hen 8. Yoigoshi-hen 11. Saikoroshi-hen 12. Onisarashi-hen 13. Batsukoishi-hen 14. Hirukowashi-hen If you plan on reading everything, follow in number order, if not, then just follow the order of the top ones ^.^ Good luck! |

| I don't follow order so i read whatever was out. :D this is the order i read it in. 1. Onisarashi-hen 2. Onikakushi-hen 3. Watanagashi-hen 4. Himatsubushi-hen 5. Tatarigoroshi-hen i don't remember the rest. but the only thing i care is if they release more Higurashi chapters... ;.; |

| I can just recommend everyone just to watch the Anime until this is completely translated. There you have the right order... reading the Mnga is currently pretty pointless. ...I still did read every translated chapter but if I hadn't watched the Anime, I wouldn't have been able to handle that. :p |

Pilperi said: That's what I thought it was but I'm not sure... Well at least the title is not the same, mine says kataribanashi-hen (語咄し編) and the Rena on the cover has a different pose... this one is what I'm talking about http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51Y2iEuv9sL.jpg any clues? What you have there is the first volume of the Higurashi anthology manga Kataribanashi-hen. Basically, its a bunch of one shots written by fans that were selected by Ryuukishi07 (Higurashi's creator). ---------- As for the order of which you should read these... First are the "Question" Arcs: (Which, to be truthful, can be read in any order. However, it is probably BEST to read them in this order, as this is the order Higurashi was originally released.) 1.1. Onikakushi-hen [鬼隠し編, Abducted By Demons Arc] 1.2. Watanagashi-hen [綿流し編, Cotton Drifting Arc] 1.3. Tatarigoroshi-hen [祟殺し編, Curse Killing Arc] 1.4. Himatsubushi-hen [暇潰し編, Time Killing Arc] Next are the "Answer" Arcs: (I do not recommend reading these until after you have finished the Question Arcs. The Answer Arcs have to be be read in the following order. Especially the last two.) 2.1. Meakashi-hen [目明し編, Eye Opening Arc] 2.2. Tsumihoroboshi-hen [罪滅し編, Atonement Arc] 2.3. Minagoroshi-hen [皆殺し編, Massacre Arc] 2.4. Matsuribayashi-hen [祭囃し編, Festival Accompanying Arc] Here come the "After" Arcs: (Note: Non-Official name. I couldn't think of anything else to call them. ^-^;) 3.1. Saikoroshi-hen [賽殺し編, Dice Killing Chapter] (Currently there is no manga written, but I still felt it should be placed on this list.) 3.2. Kokoroiyashi-hen [心癒し編, Heart-Healing Arc] -Everything beyond here can pretty much be read in any order.- "Side Story" Arcs: - Onisarashi-hen [鬼曝し編] - Yoigoshi-hen [宵越し編] - Utsutsukowashi-hen [現壊し編] (on hiatus?) -- only three chapters publishied - Hinageshi-hen [雛げし編] Anthologies: (Note: there are more, but most are doujinshi....) - Kataribanashi-hen [語咄し編] ---------- Most of this list I got from: http://www.jcafe24.com/index.php/topic,4869.msg116144.html Commentary is mine, though. Hope this helps! |
