Good ending
I was kinda surprised that Mion and Reina died. I just figured that they would just kill him and be done with it. But if you think back to one of the previous chapters, it mentioned Keichi as a suspect for a crime, so I guess I should not have been surprised. :P

Did anyone notice Rena's fat legs when she was lying dead in Keiichi's room? I mean, seriously, Rena's not fat at all. XD

Loved this manga, better than the anime! <3

It's been a while since I watched the anime so I decided to read the manga, and for what I remember it's seems it's faithful. Will keep reading more, there's a bunch of them and I don't think all of them are translated, I got my scans from mcanime.

The ending is awesome and mysterious at the same time. Really like some of the foreshadowing and hints at the end.

Great stuff. I especially liked how it showed Rika and Satoko's reaction to Rena, Mion, and Keiichi's deaths. A bit of foreshadowing in Rika's words at the end there.

This arc is so much more disturbing the second time around, once you know what's really going on.

I love Higurshi so much. Sad to see my dear sweet Rena-chan like that. </3 What a good arc though! I've watched the anime series and now I want to read through all the manga! Maybe try to pick up Umineko too after this.. ♥

I'm intrigued by the Frederica Bernkastel quotes in the chapters!

I really want to know why there was a quote by Bernkastel. I saw The anime but i don't remember her being there?

In the anime Bernkastel's quotes were at the end of each episode, after ending song, during the preview for the next ep.

Two volumes in and the main character's dead, but in the preview at the end he's alive...
Really curious as to how this'll make sense in the long run.

So at first I tried to watch the anime but my dumb brain couldn't pay attention, (probably cause the animation is starting to become outdated) so I decided to read the manga because of all the good stuff I was hearing about this series I didn't want to just drop it because of old animation. Took me like a hour to find a damn scanlation anywhere, (they probably all got taken down due to the announcement of Higurashi:Brotherhood) but man was that worth it. I love how this is more psychological horror than gore or shock even though it has all 3 of those elements. Anyway I essentially just came here to say I'm falling in love with a manga that most of yall read 10 years ago. Cheers mate, off to read the rest.

Much better than the anime adaptation of this arc which just glossed over the events. The manga was shocking, horrific, and very tragic.

My speculation is that Keichi was hallucinating the entire time. It was a great story of a character going insane due to paranoia.

This was thrilling.

It's been years since I've watched the anime and I forgot an awful lot, so reading through this arc was a nice refresher. It brought back barely enough to give me a good gist of the whole picture(but not more than necessary) in order for me to still have fun putting the pieces together.

That said, this is one of these stories you could go through over and over again, yet you will probably always get something new out of it. Hyped for the rest.

RIP Rena and Mion. Like others have said, it's a pretty hard (emotionally) read when you already (either from the SN or the anime) know the solutions to the mysteries. It's pretty funny the Preview is for the 6th Arc and not for Watangashi, but I guess they wanted to tease this Arc's specific Answer Arc.
There's some neat details that point towards certain answers I recognised from having already read the Sound Novel, but I can't go into them without spoiling later chapters, but it's nice to see the amount of effort they've already put into making the series solvable - even if I found one of said details way too obvious.

I didn't expect he would give in to believing in Oyashiro-sama's existence as early as first arc. But he's on the verge of death, so I guess I would too if I were in his place
