Read the first chapter of Higurashi: Atonement Arc: Volume 1.
Rena has already had an 'adowable' moment. It's also fair to say that, so far, Rena herself is very adowable here.
Gonna make the descent harder to stomach now

Read Uzumaki yesterday. Hoo boy...
Basically I think it’s a brilliant set of, initially only vaguely, connected horror stories, well written and all pretty freaky. I’ll definitely be picking up the first two volumes in book form.
However, the sheer incredulity of the lead was a little annoying. What’ll it take for you people to stop treating Shuichi like a crazy person when he’s OBVIOUSLY right?
“I’m sorry for Shuichi, he’s been acting so strange lately”
Yeah, having both your parents die and the entire town being infested with spirals will do that to you.
“It’s the spirals! They’re everywhere” “Oh, Shuichi, you’re so silly, stop with your silliness” “GIRL YOU HAD MUDDA****IN SPIRALS GROWIN’ OUT YO HEAD!” “Ha! Such rampant silliness!”
Kirie's face was also drawn incredibly plainly, it was rarely emotive in the same way other characters’ were like Shuichi. Also, you’ll note that I said specifically I’d only be picking up the first two volumes; I felt everything went to hell in volume 3. It certainly wasn’t bad, but after the frequently varied stuff going on in the first two volumes, the twisters got old pretty fast. I liked the rebuilding of the town into a spiral, though the final reveal was a little lacklustre (but then they always are. It’s hard to have a satisfying reveal in a horror story when it’s not a whodunnit).
The twister stuff wasn’t especially scary and more silly, much like the increasing number of snail people to the point where it became very one note. It worked in the individual snail story because it was gradual, but all these people seemed to turn really fast. I should also say that of all the things to turn into, snails are kind of one of the least threatening.
Nonetheless, I was overall very impressed and disturbed by Uzumaki and would definitely recommend it, especially since it’s so comparatively short.

Finished Higurashi: When They Cry: Atonement Arc: Volume 4.
It's the tight plotting that helps so much with this storyline. The similarities between Abducted by Demons are far better drawn up then they were in the anime, and Rena's descent is far better written.
Tragic all the way, even with the ending...
And beyond...
4/5
