Product Description
Rena has taken extreme measures to protect her and her father's happiness, but such drastic actions have terrible consequences. When her friends learn of her crimes, they feel no revulsion toward Rena, but rather a sense of regret that they hadn't been able to help her and avert this tragedy. But even if they had sensed Rena's desperation, would her classmates' pity have transformed itself from sentiment into action? Hadn't they had the same opportunity to prevent tragedy a year earlier, when Satoshi Hojo was suffering abuse at home, and failed to prevent his desperate act of murdering his aunt? How much can Rena afford to trust in a place like Hinamizawa?
Customer Reviews
Rena has murdered the woman plotting to blackmail her father and ruin his life. Now she has to take care of the woman's yakuza boyfriend, Teppei Hojo. With cold calculation, she lures him to the dump, strands him in the dark, and attacks.With his death, the road to her happiness is clear. Rena has protected her father and defended their life. She just has to dispose of the body. The teenager sets to work, not realizing that her friends, led by Keiichi, would come to the dump knowing it is her favorite place to be.Confronted with her crimes, her friends will have to choose to support Rena or be horrified by her events. Can Keiichi convince Rena that they are on her side. That they are her friends and understand how desperation drove her to this course.Can they overcome the madness inside of her and find some sort of peace for the summer of Hinamizawa? Or will further tragedy strike?We get more into the curse here, what it does, that this madness affects people who leave Hinamizawa. The same madness that led Keiichi to scratch out his throat in the first arc. The one that drives people to acts of violence. Is this the true cause behind the murders?Or is there still the human element? What is truly going on in Hinamizawa? Will this arc end in the tragic death of these friends? Or can they overcome it by helping and supporting each other?The Atonement Arc builds on what has come before, on these relationships we've seen between these characters stressed in different ways, taken to their limits. And even more interesting, someone is starting to remember these alternate takes.Higurashi is continues to excel. This horror/mystery series has great writing, great art, and great characters!
