Note: I hate quantifying a manga scoring in multiple categories - story/characters/pacing etc - because to me that's just min-max type of scrutiny that dilutes the holism of the entire work. So, I'm going to score the entire manga as a whole and nothing else and tell you why I liked the manga.
Eh, look, I love Higurashi. It's been on my mind for the past 15yrs or so ever since I first came across it, but I never finished it because at the time it wasn't adapted in entirety but it's finished now. The story is done. And i had a lot of fun reading

Rena.. It was personal belief that Rena was "Higurashi" (the embodiment of the work, not the cicadas). Every Xbox profile, Every Profile, Every thing I can use Rena's name, I use it. I currently own a scooter. Its a slim and girly looking scooter. Can you guess it's name? It's Rena. And although ...

This is, in my opinion, the arc that satisfies the most - IF you've been following all the build up so far (which I assume you have why would you otherwise be reading Arc 7 of a series directly?). First things first, The arc is LONG (compared to other Higurashi Arcs). It has 6 ...

A light novel about a 30yo NEET that slowly builds his life again by the support of a few NPCs he cannot not care about. I guess ultimately the meaning is that no matter who you are, if you have people who don't judge you - you too can rebuild your life if you just believe in trust.
The manga was great enough for me to pick up the light novel and the light novel didn't disappoint either. The way its written is ingenious, the entire manga is almost repeated scene by scene in the novel, and the scenes that didn't make it to manga have a ...

I mean, its okay, it gets the job done - progressing the story forward while revealing a bit more lore - but eh.. it's so.. Cheesy, man. I don't know how else to put it. Its written and drawn in a way that wants to force you to "feel" things but because it's so forced it feels inauthentic.
Still, Akasaki is DEFINITELY one of the better male characters in this psycho-women filled series. Now that I think about it I can't find a reason why i think Akasaki is cool. Maybe because he plays Mahjong REALLY good and that reminded me of Kaiji. Could be. Anyway, ...

Usually, I'm a Higurashi semi-fanboy (I don't really like all the "jokes" but I really enjoy the mystery and the tension), but this volume was just.. all over the place? I think that's the only way to describe it. There's A LOT of melodrama and although its not stale, it's really stretched out. ...

Higurashi is a classic. I don't know what else to say tbh. It's great. The arc is very fun and provides some answer to the questions posed in vol 1. Or so i think for now - who knows, maybe it's a red herring. The art style changes into somewhat of a stereotypical ...

Just 11 reviews? Are there only a handful of Higurashi manga fans? Whatever, 10/10. Classic.
Higurashi series has been monumental for the last 15yrs of my life in one way or another. I'm not saying it's changed me. But it's entertained me enough for me to come back to it every few years. Mainly because at the time I was experiencing it through anime and the story wasn't finished. This time I'm going to read all the manga and finish the story once and for all. If you're here for the first time and you're reading it in manga form you are doing the right thing. I have ... |
