If you feel like doing a second Umineko run-through, then the Manga is perfect for that. Don't worry about messing up the order, as the visual novel will literally only let you progress in order first. So start out with Umineko no Naku Koro Ni in the visual novel, then after that, then Umineko No Naku Koro Ni Chiru. There are questions and there will be hints, but the 'answer' will not outright be blatantly given to you by the sound novel, but it will for the manga. Umineko fans refuse to acknowledge its existence for good reason (it's not completely terrible as a stand-alone as I did enjoy it, with it being my first Umineko experience, but compared to the novel/manga it's awful).Īny Umineko fan would recommend reading the visual novel first. But ultimately, it's still not necessary, but there are connections. Though you can just watch Higurashi and Higurashi Kai, as it would go quickly and would add into your umineko experience before-hand. No, reading Higurashi isn't necessary at all, but it does add to the experience as a character from Umineko technically is from Higurashi (don't ask, you'll just give yourself a head-ache). Satoko and Rika’s farewell gives When They Cry fans some last little bits of service, as both announce that they’ll reunite “when something else cries” - which, along with the exchange that preceded it, is a reference to Bernkastel and Lambdadelta’s final exchange in Umineko.Regarding Higurashi. Though not explicitly confirmed, the new series hinted at a connection between the two. RELATED: Higurashi Sotsu: Hanyuu Bets On A Miracle

This interaction really brings the Bernkastel and Lambdadelta teasers full circle. They acknowledge their need to spend time apart, as their apparent immortality might cause them to grow tired of one another. The two bid farewell as Rika boards the bullet train headed for the academy. It’s a bittersweet result for each of them, as they both get to do what they want but without the comfort of having the other beside them. Lucia like she always wanted to and Satoko stays behind in Hinamizawa. With things sorted out, Satoko and Rika prepare to go their separate ways.
