Synopsis

It's time once again for the annual family gathering on Rokkenjima! Ange Ushiromiya is just getting over a cold, but that won't dampen her excitement at seeing her cousins again! Granddad couldn't be more thrilled to see his beloved grandchildren and throws a special Halloween party where everyone gets lots of treats! By lunchtime on the first day, the aunts and uncles are chatting up a storm, and the cousins are eagerly planning the afternoon's fun. It's the very picture of a happy family-one that in no way resembles the bickering, bitter Ushiromiya clan! What is going on?!

Umineko is unironically a peak fiction. No, really, it's undoubtedly the best literary work of the detective genre I’ve ever read (not just among manga, but in general), and I very much doubt any other story will surpass it.

This is, as you might have already guessed, a review for the Umineko manga as a whole, not just part 8 separately. It is also intended to be without spoilers.

Ryukishi07 is a great writer. He also likes to do a little bit of trolling from time to time. These two aspects of him culminate in a work that has greatly written twists and turns. Twists so good, ...

Umineko is a story I believe for those with no standards, or rather I should say, its for those with very different standards from me. I think this series is quite cool conceptually but handled very poorly at times. It is very repetitive. I also find its characters outside of Beatrice to not be even slightly compelling lol. There were many times where I found myself quite bored I was just reading to progress, not because I was interested which isnt a healthy way to experience anything. I think Umineko is very lacking in atmosphere, compelling characters, and class. The manga is terrible, no ...
