The author is a master of description and as you read the novel the scenes, landscapes, expressions in people and situations the MC is in are easy to picture and I felt the same satisfaction as if I was reading a manga or even watching an anime.

I love the main duo. Kusunoki goes through an unbeliavable character development in such a short spawn of time, and it's beautiful how the main reason for this change is just as simple as a close relationship suddenly appearing in his life (something he had purporsefully been avoiding by sticking to the past) and, eventually, having someone he loves ... and living for her. You'll probably end up reflecting yourself in his flaws. As for Miyagi, she's adorable and I personally understand why Kusunoki would go to such lenghts for her (must protect).

The novel really makes you revalue your life and for a while after reading it, as long as it's still in your mind, it will make you feel really motivated to make big changes.

Very easy and a delight to read. Usualy when I read a novel I can't even finish a chapter in a one-go, but the chapters in 3 Days of Happiness past by in a wink.

The ending was bittersweet, but cute, beautiful and satisfactory down the most.

10/10 must read, recommended to anyone, specially if you like psychological, love and life-changing stories.

(The followin is my review 12 chapters in. At the end I'll write my update whenever the manga finishes)

This is the alternative manga sequel to Higurashi Gou, and OH BOY is it better than Higurashi Sotsu.

Higurashi Gou anime's sequel had the following problems (which this manga totally fixes):

SPOILERS (anime)

-The answer arcs didn't reveal anything, they were almost entirely recycled scenes from Higurashi Gou

-The last 2 chapters, which were the only original content of the anime and the canonical conclusion to the whole Higurashi series, didn't make any sense and didn't close anything. The only good thing about them is that the conection between Higurashi ... and Umineko (the other VN from the creator which is in the same universe) is vaguely implied.

-Satoko acted totally out of character. Normally, she was a caring and loving girl, even more with Rika who is her only family. Despite of this and for some reason I can't come to understand, in Sotsu she sees that her friend has suffer the pain of thousands of deads and not only she doesn't care, not only she decides to torture her and THEIR dear friends even further, but her only reason to do it is that SHE HATES STUDYING but wants to stay with Rika in Hinamizawa. After getting the power to go back in time as much as she wants, what would she do?
Use the infinite time to study so she can then spend her time peacefully with Rika? Nope, she first tries a few times to convince Rika to not leave Hinamizawa, kills herself inmediatly after failing and then proceeds to horribly torture her so she gets so traumatized that she surrenders. They could have used Hinamizawa sindrome, an insane mental ilness that she has as an excuse for her crazyness, but they made sure to explain that she had completly cured. Omg...

-Also, milf Hanyuu is a joke and Keichi and the others never get to help them with their conflict (and one of Higurashi's main messages is to let your friends help you)

This manga, just within it's first volume, fixes ALL OF IT.

SPOILERS(from this manga)

-Rika doesn't want to leave Hinamizawa, she appreciates the happy memories she made with her friends. She only wants to go to St. Lucia because Hanyuu, the only one who was knew and was with her while she suffered for a hundred years, told her in what looked like her deathbed, asked her as her last wish to explore the world now that she can. When Satoko tells her she doesn't want to go to St. Lucia, she understands. When Satoko asks her to stay for a little longer, she does.

- Satoko isn't now evil just because. She came into a similar situation to Rika's and after trying a lot, she couldn't endure the mental charge and became crazy, probably also because of her dormant Hinamizawa sindrom. Also, she didn't give up that easily about talking to her, she just failed because Rika's new friends and milf Hanyuu were the worst.

-There's been little about the answer arcs to date, but for know the first one is being a lot better than in Sotsu.

Also, the art is SO FREAKING CLEAN

The only real downside to this manga is that it's published monthly, I advice you to follow it by arcs or it'll be a torture (chapters are really short)

Overall, a perfect conclusion to the Higurashi series and all that the anime should have been: 9/10 objectivly, 10/10 personally.

UPDATE:
So...they screwed up real hard at the end, with quite a few plotholes and wraping up things in a very anticlimatic way. Still better than Higurashi Sotsu, but what a shame.
