Higurashi When They Cry Beyond Midnight Arc Vol. 1 & 2
Story by Ryukishi 07 Art by Mimori
Hinamizawa: a long abandoned, remote village shrouded in
mystery. When Otobe awakens in a forest near he soon comes across
sword-wielding Mion. Things continue spiral outward into the bizarre and it
will be up to Otobe and his new companions to piece it all together.
Based on the Higurashi visual novel (text driven video
games) franchise and serialized in Monthly G Fantasy. Higurashi When They Cry
Beyond Midnight Arc is part of a much larger series of comics yet prior
familiarity with the franchise is certainly not necessary. The work does well
on its own.
The artwork is eye-pleasing as well as distinct and the
story flows well. The title is impossible to put down once started being filled
with constant twists and turns yet never to the point of excess. The cast is well
developed. In conclusion the title is well-crafted and the perfect blend of
mystery and horror.
Rating: 8/10
Higurashi When They Cry Beyond Midnight Arc is available in
North America in print from Yen Press and digitally from Square Enix.
