Anyways, yeah, pity that Utsutsukowashi was canceled... I was starting to like it.

Thank you guys.

I see your point, but since most of us are reading the translated manga, I think it will be better to leave it as it is.


The Best In The West

[Jyuyonban Taichou]

Wow cancelled? I guess that gives chapter three a really big cliffhanger lol, but now I'm kinda down because it will never be finished : (

[Falchion Oni]

Yeah, it's kind of sad, but somehow life goes on... *sigh*

I have a hunch that they will end up using it in the NDS version of Higurashi...

[Falchion Oni]

NDS version? I've heard rumors, but didn't know it was actually true... Too bad I know no Japanese >.>

[Jyuyonban Taichou]

Same, I really wish they would make some English translations of the games and such for us dedicated fans :/

[Katsu Koneko]

Aww canceled that sucks. DX That reminds me of the old Pokemon Movie mangas that only gave us a chapter or so and then says to watch the movies to find out more (some of those had footage not used in the movies xD)...

[Falchion Oni]

Well, if I spoke japanese, I'd help XP

And yeah, talk about teasers... XP

[kingsky123]

does anyone know about a chinese version of the manga? where do you obtain it?

[Jyuyonban Taichou]

Sorry to change the subject of the chinese manga, but does anyone know the exact date of onikakushi-hen volume 2 release from yen press? My senses tell me it should be around the end of this month...

Yen Press gives no exact date for the series, and yet it already says that it's on sale (maybe a pre-order).

Of slightly more concern, I notice that the last 2 issues of Yen + don't seem to show for Higurashi (at least not on the cover/spines). Did they decide to drop it from the magazine entirely?

Considering that literally every other comment on that page pertains solely to Higurashi, it seems as though it earned more than its fair share in terms of magazine sales.



So....

+: English Volumes will be released at an accelerated pace.

-: Likely the only mass advertisement of Higurashi in North America has been eliminated.

Im a big fan of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni and i have been reading the manga does anyone know where can you can get raws??? eEspecially of the Watanagashi and Tatarigoroshi part since it looks like it will take a long time before they release a new chapter of those and i whould like very much to continue reading those.

[Falchion Oni]

We posted it a page back. The Aceboards ^^

Still no translator though... My roommate speaks Japanese fluently, but I haven't shown my roommate the series yet. Don't wanna spoil the best arc!

[Aortic]

Dude, you should totally have your roommate be your translator! (~^_^)~

But that would require him having an intimate understanding of the series, and no one wants the series spoiled for them.

[Falchion Oni]

I'm gonna wait until he actually reads or watches it... I'm gonna push it on him (,,,)^.^(,,,) meow!

Would any of you happen to know which book this is? ...trying to find the cover illustration of this. I'll ask in the scans forum in a bit, since I'm curious of the title too. |D; I love Houjou Yutori's art.
