Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Manga
| There are six main titles in the Higurashi manga series, spanning the four "question" arcs and the first two "answer" arcs.
Each of these are rather short and are to be compiled into two tankobon (chapters) for each title. In addition, there are two side-story manga, not based on the original game series. |
| Onisarashi-hen (the Demon Exposing Chapter) -
In Onisarashi-hen, a former Hinamizawa girl named Natsumi is introduced, and her life after the Hinamizawa disaster is shown. |
| Yoigoshi-hen (the Overnight Chapter) -
Since Minagoroshi-hen is a solution to the previous arcs, it would've been impossible to serialize it alongside Meakashi-hen and Tsumihoroboshi-hen. Therefore, a new story, Yoigoshi-hen, which focuses on Hinamizawa in the present day, was introduced for the purposes of the manga. TIPS for this chapter can be read via mobile phone at Gangan MOBILE. This chapter focuses on a tabloid reporter named Arakawa who travels to Hinamizawa after its lockdown is finally ended. |
| Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai Utsutsukowashi-hen (When the Cicada Cry Mysteries - Reality Breaking Chapter) -
A prequel to Meakashi-hen. Shion is sent away to the all-girls school, St. Lucia Academy, for confinement. One day, a male teacher's body was found in the school swimming pool and the first discoverer, Mizuho Kousaka, is summoned to the chairman's office to report the details. Shion hears rumors about how Mizuho's grandmother is after Mizuho's life and the girl is taking refuge in the school, so Shion approaches the aloof Mizuho. The chapter started serialization in volume 10 (December 2006) of Comp Ace. |
