I have to say, after reading higurashi kai's seventh chapter I feel pretty unmotivated to read the last. I feel kinda unmotivated about /everything/ at the moment though, so I'm not really sure if this means much.
I have to say, Higurashi has incredibly good /moments/ but looking back on it the whole has a decent few problems. Ultimately I don't think this is as much of an issue as the slivery guy, but there is some stuff that is just legitimately off. Too lazy to type it out, and I'm not sure if he's got problems with the same things either.
