Higurashi no Naku Koro ni: Yoigoshi-hen
Higurashi WHEN THEY CRY: Beyond Midnight Arc
ひぐらしのなく頃に 宵越し編
Summer 1983...Hinamizawa is a tranquil village, but its inhabitants have been plagued by strange deaths and unexplained disappearances seemingly every year. Some say it's the terrifying curse of Hinamizawa's legendary deity, Oyashiro-sama, causing victims to be spirited away by monsters, but is this town harboring dark, horrying secrets even more sinister than any supersition or myth?
This chapter is an epilogue of one of the "possible outcomes" of Tsumihoroboshi-hen.
In 2006, twenty-three years after the the terrible Hinamizawa Disaster, five strangers are drawn together to the abandoned mountain village by fate. One of them claims to be Mion Sonozaki, who was supposed to have died in the incident.
One thing seems certain: Oyashiro-sama's curse did not die with the village, and these five are about to be dragged into the supernatural aspects of the "Village of the Dead"
Will they be able to survive the night?
