Life couldn't be better for Keiichi Maebara. Sure, he's moved to a sleepy, little town where nothing happens and high school consists of a one-room schoolhouse - but his new friends and fellow students are all cute girls!

Hello, I am Ryukishi 07; I wrote the original story. I truly thank you for picking up "Higurashi WHEN THEY CRY: Abducted by Demons Arc" Volume One.

Partially because the original story "Higurashi WHEN THEY CRY" is a novel game, almost all of the expressions are written in text. So there are more than a few places where I left them to the readers' imaginations and only depicted vague expressions.

I am truly thankful to Suzuragi-sensei for portraying the fun and horror of the original story so wonderfully in manga form! Just when their fun daily life has been completely mutilated, there's the shocking scene with Rena, and I couldn't help but be in awe at Suzuragi-sensei's bloodcurdling power!! There are more scary scenes to come in the "Abducted by Demons Arc," so I'm afraid (can't wait) to see the rough draft!

The "Abducted by Demons Arc" is the first of the eight story arcs, and I think one of its highlights is that it clearly shows the light and dark sides of the story's setting, Hinamizawa. I hope you enjoy seeing the contrast as the story completely changes from volume one to the future volume two.
