Higurashi manga thread

I must say i find the art style very interesting for the manga - it'll be good to see the different versions of the story in action.. shall have to track these down. ^^

Gitami 2006-05-01 15:36

Different viewpoints, different art style. I rather like onikakushi's style but the others grew on me.

m|rA| 2006-05-06 02:58

I was wondering if it's more advisable to read starting from the Onikakushi-hen followed by the Watanagashi-hen then to the Tatarigoroshi-hen? Or could we just read it from any sequence?

Since each scenario is technically "stand-alone", you don't really have to read them in any specific order, different mangakas are responsible for each of the scenario as well, so it's not as if they would skip on anything for their own scenario.

However, that only applys to the first three chapters (Onikakushi, Watanagashi, and Tatarigoroshi).
Himatsubushi (4th chapter) should only be read after the completion of the above three chapters.
解 (answer) chapters should obviously only be read after completion of the above four chapters, AND they have to be read in order (Meakashi → Tsumihoroboshi → Minagoroshi (if there is going to be one), etc.)

m|rA| 2006-05-06 04:24

Thanks for the help. :D Had been wondering if the manga was supposed to be read in the same order as to the anime ver.

Meowshi 2006-05-09 02:51

If I understand correctly, the mangas aren't out yet, and are coming out (Summer 06) ?
Wikipedia says the answer chapters aren't coming out until then, but the regular ones ARE out now?

You should give the Higurashi wiki a good read.

Anyway, the serialization for the primary 3 question chapters (Onikakushi-hen, Watanagashi-hen, and Tatarigoroshi-hen, their covers can be seen above) have all pretty much finished up. So far, 1 tankoubon (volume) has already been released for all three scenarios (containing the serialized chapters covering the first half of the scenario). The final tankoubons (volume 2) of the 3 question chapters, containing the latter half of the scenario, are scheduled to be released in the Summer, completing the manga adaptation of Onikakushi-hen, Watanagashi-hen, and Tatarigoroshi-hen.

After that, serialization for 2 of the answer chapters has already been confirmed (Meakashi and Tsumihoroboshi) and their serialization is due to begin late June, drawn by the same mankagas who did the corresponding question chapters (Onikakushi→Tsumihoroboshi, Watanagashi→Meakashi).

Chibi_Faerie 2006-05-13 09:14

Eeeee I have been searching everywhere for a scanlation group for this!! *Glomps YamiKage for the link* Must...Download... and Read... Now.... o.o
The art style looks like it is going to be different for each chapter. I like Watangashi-hen the best so far, but the others are cool too.

I managed to get the Onisarashi-hen just because the artwork is soo beautiful. The people here actually look their age instead of using the moe style. :p Natsumi is just so cool.

However, this volume is so messed up! I was so creeped out. But I'm surprised that there was no relation to Rena and her gang at all. And is that Maebara Keiichi? Another bad thing is that this book does not have furigana so I could not read most of it. :(

chrno_the_sinner 2006-05-24 00:02

Does anybody know where I can buy the volumes that are out right now? Sasuga only has volume one of Watanagashi-Hen.

Also, Furigana = I can read it so could you also tell me which ones contain it? Actually, just tell me if Tatarigoroshi contains Furigana because I've already seen raw scans of the other two.

EDIT: Just to clarify, I meant an english website where I can buy the raw volumes.

That's the only one I don't have. :( It might have furigana since the covers are designed similarly which means they might be released by the same company. Whereas Onisarashi's is different. :uhoh: <----plausible explanation :heh:

kj1980 2006-06-14 01:30

Volume 2 of Onikakushi-hen, Watanagashi-hen, and Tatarigoroshi-hen will go on sale 6/22. My copy has been reserved for pre-order.

Yoigoshi-hen, which seems to be a new side story about Hinamizawa in the present day will start its serialization from August.

Mei Hikari 2006-06-14 02:03

The covers look great, they should bring this over to the states.

Oooo :D Thanks for the link!

...shame it's on rapidshare and thus I can't download it though. Oh well :(

chrno_the_sinner 2006-06-14 12:32

What are the ISBN's for all the books released so far (all 7)? I want to order them through a store that imports things for me. Are there any other ISBNs for ones that haven't been released yet? And I know this isn't the right place to ask, but what's the ISBN for the fanbook? Thanks in advance.

chrno_the_sinner 2006-06-14 13:05

Wow that was fast. Thanks.

Another question... apparently the anime takes a few.... liberties with the storyline in comparrison from the games. How accurate is the manga in comparrison to the anime and the game? I'd assume the manga is more true to the game than the anime. Would that be a correct assumption?

chrno_the_sinner 2006-06-14 13:05

Shoot. Double post. Sorry. My mouse is stupid sometimes and clicks multiple times when I click only once.

Yes - although some scenes are still left out, the manga does a better job in following the game and much creepier artwork.

Alas though, the best medium to get into would be playing the game itself because of the beautiful (and occasionally bone-chilling) BGMs, poems by Frederica Bernkastel and the valuable TIPS.

MarmoO 2006-06-14 14:17

wrong thread, sorry ;/

Believe me, If I could play the games, I would. Unfortunately, my Kanji reading skills are horrid. I barely know 100 at the moment. Maybe a year or two of university/self study will help, then I'll get the games. Until then.... well, I might buy them, but not play them for a while.

Tatarigoroshi 1 & 2 are up as well- I can upload them to Megaupload or something if most people prefer that.

... Unless people are waiting to read all of Watanagashi before they start Tatarigoroshi. Which would be too bad, because I'm the Tatarigoroshi translator and I want everyone to see my awesome skillz- ahem. I mean, because... uh, there's no reason you have to read them in order. Yeah, that's it. ^^;

Nope, I'm reading them in the order they're released because you can read the first three arcs in any order you want and the anime's done Watanagashi already anyway, don't know about anyone else. You're the translator? :D We love you!

But yeah, it looks like I'm not the only one who rapidshare hates, I have to get them sent to me by people who it does work for then reupload it. Updated post with Tatarigoroshi 1 and 2... but if you could do megaupload mirrors it'd be really appreciated. Thanks for all your hard work!

Yeah... actually, Rapidshare's not too fond of me either, sometimes. I wonder if I could get them to upload to Megaupload instead...? I'll ask. If not, I'll just upload chapters to Megaupload as they're finished- you guys may actually get them a little early, in that case.

BakaOnna 2006-06-22 22:51

After reading the first two chapters of Watanagashi and Tatarigoroshi, all I can say is wow, the anime sure left out a lot of things in the beginning.
