Differences[]

  • The scene at the beginning of episode 2 with an older Rika meeting Hanyuu is moved to the end of the arc. It is also changed to where Rika is no longer a teenager but also expands on the scene and references the events of the original story.
  • There is no mention of Takano's car and Tomitake's bike still being around the site of the festival on the day after.
  • The renovation of the Irie Clinic is not shown.
  • Keiichi is shown recalling more memories from Onikakushi, such as the scene with Rena at the door and the true events of Rena's death as described in Tsumihoroboshi.

Trivia[]

  • The first novel volume of Kataribanashi contains a story with the exact same name, but this is likely a coincidence.
