Wow this is truly an amazing manga and soooo underrated. It is truly obvious that Shingeki no Kyojin took a lot of elements from here as an "inspiration". This also has its similarities with Berserk. But as dark and serious the story is, it's still very action driven, shocking and intriguing.

Recommend everyone to give it a try. It got me hooked right from the start, something that doesn't happen often. I had so much fun trying to guess where the plot was going. Try to avoid all the spoilers, as some characters deaths are really unexpected and shocking.

Also adding that Claire is a great main ... character. Her relationship with Raki and the other claymores is really charming.

I partially understand why the low rating on this site because of all the confused people who dropped the anime. The Higurashi series is a mix of various genres, but primary is on the MYSTERY genre as well as Umineko. People can get confused because it adds to the mix some horror, comedy, slice of life and at times some sci-fi, sobrenatural or magical stuff. It really is a mix of everything so I understand why people can get confused at first but you need to understand all the episodes leaves you with questions and you will be solving the puzzle and mystery if you ... really pay attention. At the end all mysteries are solved but you need to be patient.

Really loved this continuation to the series. WARNING this is a SEQUEL not a REMAKE. You need to at least watch the original Higurashi anime from 2006/07 to understand it. Watching this serie first and then going back to the old ones will SPOIL and RUIN everything. You can also watch the Kira or Rei OVA's or the Kaku movie for more lore. And you should also read the Umineko manga to understand some new characters, references and situations.
