Spoiler for onisarashi end:

This thread spoiled me too (damn unwanted, there were no spoiler tags at all), but I didn't wanted to believe it until the very end. Natsumi looked for me like the "victim" all the time, but then Hinamizawa syndrome fooled me again. But I was surprised that she could smile so soon again after she realized that she killed her family. But nevermind, I also smiled when Toudou stood up again! I honestly thought she killed him. Hooray for Happy Endings!
Onisarashi was all in one a good arc for me, mainly because of the shocking scenes. I only disliked the scenes on the police station with Ooishi and Akasaka (except the last one), because there were so .. boring to me ... ・ ３ ・ ... But since Onisarashi-hen contains a nice amount of blood I won't complain (Kinda missed Lv5.)

[Aortic]

Yeah, someone should really banhammer that guy. Shit's unforgivable.

And Sterling: I'm not averse to the idea, but how big is it? Moogy's already being super generous hosting our piles and piles of doujinshi, if we could put it up under an alternative like rapidshare or something that would be ideal.

Plus, we mind's well throw the fully translated Umineko up there unless you were planning on editing the second chapter yourself. At first I tried to keep Gaku limited completely to stuff we'd edited ourselves, but ultimately I just tossed up everything Type-Moon out there to stop "where's this from it's not on Gaku" threads sprouting up on Wakachan all the time...

[/scanslation] (sorry!)

Spoiler for "ending":

I absolutely love this ending as it almost serves as an answer arc to Hinamizawa Syndrome by and large.

Most all the other arcs are from either the paranoic perspective or that of the onlooker.

Oni Sarashi manages to marry the two in a way so we gain a more profound understanding of the truly schizophrenic experience of the L5 victim subjectively in concert with the real events happening around them.

The line is blurred, the colors muted from harsh black and white contrasts to unnerving shades of gray.

And while on the one hand it has perhaps the bleakest of endings, on the other there's easily as much hope and redemption in the final moments as Matsuribayashi-hen and more verisimilitude in my opinion. <3

About Onisarashi ch 7

Spoiler:

Ah, well, I was quite wrong about the end of Onisarashi-hen... I didn't expect Natsumi to have killed everyone in the end. But, I don't understand why : she never went to Hinamizawa, right ? So she couldn't have the syndrome, or has she juste gone crazy ? I think I missed something...

[Proto]

@Twarz

Spoiler for Onisarashi ch7:

She was an Okinomiya resident... which have frequent contact with Hinamizawa people so it's not a big surprise if there she got the infection. Not to mention she is a Kimiyoshi family member so it would be expected for her to go to some of the family reunions

[MrZombie]

Correct m eif I'm wrong, but didn't Natsumi live in Hinamizawa when she was younger?

[Sterling01]

Yeah she lived there when she was younger

*raises hand* Question.

How many of these have been translated/scanlated and said translations/scanlations can still be acquired? I could only find Watanagashi-hen from the beginning of the thread.

Okay, thanks for the answers. It appears I really did miss something :P

[Hareoic]

Your welcome.

[OiOiOishi]

is the chapter 6 of Onikakuchi-hen the end of this arc? It seems like there is another chapter epilogue after this one, and the chapter 6 doesn't end the story. Anyone knows if im right?

[MezzoDragon]

There is still a part to go. There may be one more volume to the Onikakuchi-hen.

[Sterling01]

No there's only the epilouge left

This man is correct. It is currently in the process of being edited.

[Dreamiel]

Um, can some one please help me understand what's going on in this picture? It's from the Utsutsukowashi-Hen tank, but it apears to be after utsutsu and before the Onisarashi epilouge. It has onisarashi characters and I'm wondering what the deal is because why would Chisa and Akira being kissing like that ?_? My japanese isn't too great at the moment so I could only understand a little bit of what's being said (Just that he says 'Chisa' then she says 'Sorry, Akira' and something about Natsumi. Not to mention that a couple of pages after the picture in question, there's an ero-ish picture of Natsumi and Akira.

For what I understand she said than she is sorry to havinf kissing him even knowing than he love Natsumi. After she speek about the fact than she loved him for a long time ago. My japanese in not so good , so I might be mistaken.
