Higurashi When They Cry is a sound novel. The music, backgrounds and characters work together to create a world that is the stage of a novel for the user to read. They laugh and cry and get angry. The user takes the point of view of the protagonist to experience the story.
higurashi has been a story that i have held close to my heart for a long time now. like many others, i was first introduced via the anime at an age that was far too young. the first arc scared me so bad that i didn’t pick it back up for months. but once i worked up the courage to give it another chance, i fell in love. from there i read the visual novel...
the end of an era.
after spending nearly 200 hours to complete all 8 chapters, I got so attached to the members, I was practically in the club itself. I didn't want it to ever end — but all good things and stories must come to an end.
this last chapter will test you, and took me a long while to navigate all the crooks and crannies.. but it was fine...
after a combined total of 5 months and 154 hours my final verdict for higurashi is: GEM!!!! GG!!!!
Akasaka goes out from the very first shot! He is unrelenting!
