Higurashi When They Cry: Time Killing Arc, Vol. 2 - manga (Higurashi, 8) (Volume 8)

I got this for a Christmas gift for my son and he loved it. He said the manga was great.

They are as described.

If you're familiar with the Higurashi series then you are aware that this is the second part of a story arc that takes place before any of the murders at Hinamizawa takes place. If you aren't familiar with this series, go start with the first volume. To fully understand & appreciate everything that is being said & done with this volume you will have to have started at the beginning.Volume 2 of the Time Killing Arc finds Detective Akasaka & Oishi rushing to discover the whereabouts of the missing child. Their mission is filled with death & danger. However, Akasaka is determined to stay the course even with the strange warning Rika gave him about him regretting his decision to remain in the small town. Nothing in this town is exactly as it appears to be & Akasaka soon finds himself wondering the exact meaning of Rika's prophecy. He'll soon wish that he'd taken her advice.While I wasn't exactly as enchanted with the first volume of this arc, I found myself liking this half of it even more. The story progresses much more quickly & we're treated to rare glimpses of Rika's true emotions about her grisly & seemingly unavoidable fate. The artwork in this is beautiful, with my favorite panel being a close up of Rika. The artist kept Rika's face impenetrable, yet managed to express so many different emotions using Rika's eyes. The volume's only flaw is that while it is better than the arc's first half, it still seems to be a little overly wordy & drawn out in places.Overall though, this volume is certainly a must have for Higurashi fans & collectors of the series. I really can't wait to get my hands on the next volume of this series & I do have to applaud Yen Press's quick release schedule. As always, I'm enchanted & horrified by this series.

amazing~!
