Beginning of the Miracle

Hello, I'm Ryukishi07.

The "Festival Accompanying Arc" is the final arc of Higurashi: WHEN THEY CRY, and it demonstrates how much miraculous power can be created by believing in each other and working together.

In that sense, this final arc is the ideal story, in a way, and the story of the final battle.

Will Rika Furude and her friends manage to make it safely past June 1983? How will the final battle end?
...To tell that story, the arc has to journey back in time.

What you've just read depicts the childhood of a key character, Miyo Takano. By seeing her upbringing and her feelings and learning about her strength, you can all discover, little by little, the truth behind this story.

A believing heart calls forth miracles. In that case, her strong feelings have the power to call forth miracles as well.

I hope you will all watch as Miyo Takano brings about her miracles.

Thank you for reading this far. Volume 1 is all about Miyoko. I love Miyoko when she's being cute and when she's being scary. The "Festival Accompanying Arc" starts right away with a climactic situation, but we've only just begun. This is the prologue to the prologue. The next part of the story is going to be just as exciting, so if it's all right, please stay with us to the very end.
