Kanamori was such an insane, absolutely frightening and pathetic villain that all other arcs in the manga paled in comparison. Whoever hear her sobs and open the toilet door will be crushed and eaten by her (although aside from Kanamori, nobody else became her victim.) Higanbana brought Marie back, and Marie killed her teacher and devoured his soul, becoming ‘meso-meso-san’ (Miss Sob-sob), the eight legend of the school. However, the teacher hated that his toy rebelled against him, and so choked her to death and dumped her body in the waste tank. Marie befriended Higanbana, who gave her the courage to confront the teacher. Whoever sees the dancing doll in the infirmary would die. She later met Higanbana, or the ‘Dancing Higanbana’, the third yokai of the seven legends of the school. Marie had no idea what to do as the bullying and molesting escalated. She was harassed throughout the day by her classmates, and after school, her teacher Kanamori (who saved her from the bullies on some occasions) would take her to the abandoned school building and molest her in one of the toilets, while filming his activities. HGBN follows the story of Moriya Marie, a bullying victim. (HGBN is a standalone series, so you do not have to read Higurashi or Umineko or any other thing before this.) Despite HGBN not being part of the ‘When They Cry’ series, it does have the vibes. I started this manga waaaay back when I was a moody 13-year-old in love with Higurashi and Umineko. (Note: To avoid confusion, I will refer to the manga itself as HGBN and the titular character as Higanbana.) Hopeless, she turns to the ‘seven ghost legends of the school’, but will the supernatural be able to save her? She is tormented by her classmates during the day and molested by her teacher after school. Marie’s elementary school life is a living hell. This review will mention those topics.Īlso: spoilers for the ending of Higanbana no Saku Yoru ni, spoilers for volume 1 through 6. If you are sensitive to these content, please refrain from reading the manga. TW: Higanbana no Saku Yoru ni has bullying, violence, and sexual assault. For those reading scans, hey, there’s a chapter 21 of this manga! And volumes 5-6!
