The manga is cool and all, I just completely disagree with it being a superior experience. Umineko intentionally leaves you with enough information to "climb the mountain" and you can even use the manga as the answer key if you really need it. I don't see how this is lazy. This series breaks specific traditions prepared by the classic mystesy novelists, but rarely the established rules. Why does the series have to solve itself for you when that is not the series' intent?

I don't know, this view seems somewhat entitled and doesn't account for a lot of things like the author's goal and message. It's why the magic vs trick dilemma exists in the first place. But of. course, we could pretend the magical scenes are almost all pointless and get upset about having to connect an abundance of hints that hrt trivialize a mystery.

You're lying...Jessica...you're lying.
USO DA!!
This, this can't be true. Not my Shannon...not Battler. Not the ring I "ordered" her to wear..you can't...
Do you...do you like kicking a man when he's down Jessica? Do you enjoy watching me writhe in pain and misery? Why...why would you tell me this?
