The one advantage Reiwa has is that it's taking longer to reveal the mystery rather than doing it way too early and then having nothing else, so it fuels discussion for longer, but it's not like Reiwa's content is actually going anywhere.

And the mystery reveal can end up just as weak. Even without H173, the syndrome victim in these manga are basically written like that, jumping from 0 to 100 almost instantly. In the original series we'd have a bunch of interactions between Kururu and other characters after the festival, not just her going from that to instantly killing Keitaro the next time they interact. Same thing goes with Hoshiwatashi, where Kisaku disappearing and Rika dying are used to instantly make Sakiko (and the entire village) go insane rather than things escalating from that point on.

The newest chapter also pretty much confirmed any culprit will be blamed on the freaking parasites (apparently they aren't viruses now anymore). Polaris is infected with Hinamizawa Syndrome, while Hinamizawa is infected with Polaris Syndrome (head scratch, strong sense of justice and duty to protect their community, spirit of martyrdom). So, basically no one is responsible for their actions here.

>It's like they wanted the fujos but got spooked for no reason and decided to pander to twittertards instead.

It feels like they wrote off romance within the club since there was no romance among the old gen, and it'd be silly to say the new club would have it now, but then kept Kihiro's crush on Keitaro since they didn't see it as something serious (Natsumi Kei has outright talked on twitter about how she thinks a series can be considered yuri even if afterwards the girls don't get together and marry men), but only made that obvious now.

I expected her to be able to see whatever is Polaris' Hanyuu's equivalent, but with the series getting so close to the end, and not even a small hint at some kind of Polaris Hanyuu at this point there might not even be one even though they're directly paraleling Hinamizawa Syndrome with Polaris Syndrome.

Is Higurashi the VN that's been milked the hardest? Besides Fate obviously
