Higanbana no Saku Yori Ni Review

Higanbana no Saku Yori Ni Review
--------------------------------

Basically, this is classiq Ryukishi. It's got all the highlights: poorly drawn arms, cruel twists, magic fights, and a liiittle bit of preaching at you. In this VN, the preaching is about NO BULLY.

+ Yokai powers are cool and fitting
+ The setting isn't too grimdark or too light, there's plenty of silly moments and really serious moments. It's Ryukishi's VN, after all.
+ An amazing OST
+ Despite all being set in a school, more or less, the locations and set pieces are suprisingly varied

- As a whole, it's pretty short. There is a part 2 which'll probably bring things to a more satisfying conclusion.
- Dialogue's a bit awkward at parts. It's Ryukishi's VN, after all.
- There's no overarching story, it's a bunch of tales set in a universe.
- You don't get to meet all 7 of the school's mysteries! (I'm sure you'll meet the rest in "Night Two")

Overall Verdict
---------------

A short and enjoyable ride. I've listened to the OST for the past 2 days because it's awesome. Definitely worth a read if you like other stuff from Ryukishi (Umineko, Higurashi, Lucia's route in Rewrite).
