That means that the dead little girl at the beginning of the manga was Rika. She wanted him to save her but he didn't realize it.

That was sad T_T

It was such a predictable plot twist. What a twist! -_-''

No comments on how moving the whole experience was of him? Sad is a bit of an understatement here.
FallenGod_777, your threads are terrible. I cringe in anger at the thought of reading them everytime and the end of each chapter. It's like you're sprinkling feces on my wonderful Higurashi experience.

I try not to be insulting. But this is getting to much to bare.
It's hard to hold in how much these threads have detracted from my Higurashi experience.

Daang. They managed to take one of my lesser-liked anime arcs and make it one my favorites! I was reading this after a test in my history class, and some of the others were still testing. It was very hard to stifle my cries, and a few noticed tears rolling down my cheeks.

Pretty good, the format changed so it would not get too repetitive.

Then Rika really died~
This manga really amazes. Probably my fave one among the other Higurashi stories I already read~

That was just so beautiful...it was both Higurashi and it wasn't. I liked this guy Akasaka so much, and the plot twist at the end, he did not become the hero he was expected to become, just brilliant! Been a fan of the anime since forever but I feel sorry I'm reading the manga only now, how much time I've wasted, oh...

Probably my least favorite arc in the entire story but still a 10/10 mates! (If I had to be more specific I'd give it a solid 9.8/10 but since I love the series and it would hurt my soul to make it a 9 I have it as a 10!)

LMAO


~Okay with this the question arcs are ended; this follows the route of Tatarigoroshi-hen giving you more knowledge about hinamizawa past, the least favorite arc for me also but notheless a pleasing addition to the Higurashi experience. Seriously i did well to read the manga as memory refresh for the new anime series airing, this became one of my favorite series, I really didn't 'comprehend' Higurashi by just watching the anime back then, it feels the same as Fate. I'll have to dig even deeper

Rika said it was inevitable, so I don't think he could have saved her even if he tried.

I wonder who Ooishi-san was talking about when he vaguely mentioned one of his men in the 1983 incident.
