  Saikoroshi is brilliant and an essential read to truly complete Higurashi!

  Gee, this final chapter of higurashi reminded me of how proud I was to see Rika get so much character development. My girl grew! *pinches cheeks* *headpats* It would be a shame if something happened to all that character development.... *looks at Higurashi SotsuGou* *winks*

  Well, this game was a surprise release for me! But these volumes are so cheap, it's rarely any trouble to pick them up. As it happens, this set of stories are to be read after completing the main story in Chapters 1-8 and largely serve as What If? bonus content. Saikoroshi-hen is more in line with the mystery/thriller/horror vibes that the series is known for, a sort of epilogue that places the well-fought Good Ending from Chapters 1-8 into jeopardy. It is currently being praised in comments and reviews as the most relevant story to pick up Rei for, and I can't say I disagree. It's another meaty, disturbing story to add to the many worlds in Higurashi lore. I don't see the other bonus chapters, Hirukowashi-hen and Batsukoshi-hen, receiving nearly as much love. They are meant to be viewed as the more fun, light-hearted chapters, as with any of the slice-of-life sections of Higurashi proper before shit starts to hit the fan in each section's respective world. I'm pretty sure, if you're looking at these bonus sections after finishing the Question/Answer arcs yourself, you've already formed your own opinion on those parts of the story. And the concept themselves are nothing to write home about: Love charm! Chaos ensues! Keiichi needs fantasy-fuel to pursue Punishment Games again! Let your imagination go wild! Heavy on the perverted fanserviceness, so if you're not a fan of that, you likely won't be a fan of these chapters. I get that. However, in the second half of the latter story, we see the ladies participate in the same behavior, and that made me smile from ear to ear as a great show of "Gender Equality" in anime which I find to be an excellent subversion of tropes and being able to enjoy the perverseness no matter your walk in life - but hey, maybe I'm just the kind of pervert to enjoy it regardless of all of that in the first place. They're just fun stories, if you find them fun. And I look forward to more short scenarios with Higurashi in the future (and also maybe finally check out Umineko as the After Party and Staff Room grew more insistent towards it).

  If I could give this a neutral recommendation, I would. Rei is split into three separate stories - Saikoroshi, Hirukowashi and Batsukoishi. Saikoroshi is a sort of epilogue to the main Higurashi story line, lasting around four hours, and focuses on Rika. I enjoyed this a lot, especially since I wasn't a huge fan of Matsuribayashi and how it spent so much time on Takano. Whether you should buy this fan disk really comes down to how appealing this episode sounds. Hirukowashi is a goofy/comedy side story about a pair of magic items. When someone finds one of the items and another find the other, those two will be bound by love....and of course a child finds one of them, while an adult finds the other lol. Yeah, sorry this sucked shit - this is the sorta thing you're into as a teenager because you wanna be cool and edgy (hi yes I was that teen) but is just really embarrassing and obnoxious to read as a 20s something adult. I don't know why Higurashi frequently feels the need to plague itself with nonce-y fan service content - all it does is make a great horror series harder to recommend to people who aren't into visual novels or well versed in anime's worst tropes. Batsukoishi is an after party of another chapter and there isn't much to say about it

  TL/DR: If you've finished Matsuribayashi & find yourself wanting just a little bit more then Rei is exactly what you're after. Saikoroshi-hen makes up the majority of the read, serving as both an epilogue for Higurashi while also bridging the gap to later When They Cry novels. It's everything you'd expect from a Higurashi chapter despite it's (much) shorter length, and is absolutely essential reading for folks who've made it through to the end of Kai. Hirukowashi-hen is a bit shorter, but thoroughly entertaining thanks to its ridiculous, lighthearted scenario. This story also introduces some new OST pieces which compliment the read well, though I found myself immediately nostalgic & wanting nothing more than the pieces I'd fallen in love with to come back. Batsukoishi-hen is, by far, the shortest & most forgettable story of Rei. I suppose I'm really not that much of a degenerate to enjoy what's basically half an hour of juvenile lewdness, but if that's your bag then more power to you - I hope you enjoy it! An extra shout-out has to go to the Cast Review & Staff Room. They've always been full little extras, but Rei kicks that up a notch with its charm, gratitude, & insight into the then upcoming title, Umineko.

  I wasn't expecting AT ALL a new Higurashi opus, what a pleasant surprise to be able to dive in Hinamizawa once again for a couple of hours. This bundle contains 3 stories, and for those wondering if they should buy it I would say YES just for the first one. Got completely hooked and couldn't stop reading once I started !! It is extremely lonely and sad compared to the rest of the series, but if you are looking for more "light-hearted" kind of episodes, then the rest of the game is for you. Not gonna lie, I skipped a good part of it because it was a bit too much degen for me lol. The final goodbye to the series after those 2 silly stories still made me put a positive review there ! Higurashi is really an amazing series and hopefully I will have the motivation to read through it from the beginning in Japanese one day (૭ ｡•̀ ᵕ •́｡ )૭ !! Thank you for reading !!
