Higurashi manga thread

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?

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.

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.

I love you

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? 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.

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.
