I hope Mion catches a break for once.

Spoilers from the beginning of this story through the end of this chapter.

She tends to get all the bad endings. She dies in all the chapters so far? Though technically they all do once the gas comes. Her crush tells her to her face he wishes she was born a boy and is so insensitive to her and her feelings. So clueless missing obvious hints.

She gets her nails ripped out. She has to witness her friend's torture and her sister turns her into a villain in front of the guy she likes. She gives her life for him and he will never know that she believe Shion did it. Then the guy basically says he hopes he falls in love with the girl that tried to kill her and bashed her face in. I'm gonna guess he is going to remember the events of chapter 2 and think Mion is horrible again.

The only one to have it worse potentially worse is Satoko. So happy when Rena killed her uncle.

Does the author hate her? :( This to me was the saddest part of this chapter for me.

I won't spoiler tag anything I write here referring to previous arcs, since anyone reading this should be expected to have read them already.

Well, I feel you're being a little unfair here. You say the author appears to hate her because she has died in all of the arcs so far, even in those cases where she is just one of over 1,000 to die the same way, as is the case in "Tatarigoroshi-hen"? I guess he hates most of the cast, then. 😆 You also seem to have conveniently forgotten "Himatsubushi-hen", where none of the main cast dies, because it's a prequel to those scenarios (though, to be fair, it's a rather short arc). Other than that, yeah, she definitely has her share of hardships she doesn't deserve.

But so have others. You mentioned Satoko, who has a pretty broken family. There's also Rena, who we learn in this arc has some severe mental issues, not helped by having a b*tch of a mother who abandoned her father to marry some more wealthy man and tore the family apart. Shion was exiled by her horrible grandmother just for being an unwanted twin (ironic that it was actually the other one they intended to do this to, not that it makes it any better for either of them), and her own crush just disappeared with barely a trace one day (it's not to justify her actions in "Watanagashi-hen" and "Meakashi-hen", but by this time, it should be clear there's something at work driving various characters insane).

Her crush tells her to her face he wishes she was born a boy and is so insensitive to her and her feelings. So clueless missing obvious hints.

Yeah, well, that's his failing. And how did that work out for him? If you didn't get it in "Watanagashi-hen", then "Meakashi-hen" should have made it pretty clear. Sounds like karmic retribution, if you ask me.

I finished it now and yea he hates everyone lol. I'm half joking, even in my original post it's my sarcastic sense of humor.

I feel like Rena's story Isn't as bad as everyone else's. She even got the best story out of all 8 IMO. The best moments, the coolest moments and the best conclusions, keiichi saving her for example. Mion seems the least flawed out of everyone especially now that I know she never does anything bad in any of the worlds that I can remember. Ch8 spoilers Rika says as much that she doesn't have it in her and Hinamizawa syndrome never effects her.

Shion is kind of a b*tch too, manipulating Keiichi to hurt Mion having her process the doll order for them. Making the tough tomboy mafia girl cry is next level. I still think Mion has it really bad despite being a good person but Satoko and Rika probably have it worse.

Now I'm just waiting and hoping for the extra content that's coming, since the epilogue was kind of lacking. I didn't know there would be more after chapter 8 buuut Rei and ch8 spoilers I guess?

I joked in ch8 that the helicopter would crash killing all of them. turns out something equally ridiculous happens in the first story of rei? I'll still play it and probably still enjoy it.

Rena may be Ryukishi07's favored character, and here's why:

First, the name Ryukishi07 breaks down as follows: "ryūkishi" 竜騎士 means "dragon knight", probably referring to the class in Final Fantasy. "07" is goroawase, a kind of Japanese wordplay where numbers and letters stand for words; 0 can be read as "re" or "rei", and 7 as "na", so "rena" or "reina", though in this case it probably refers to Lenna Tycoon from FF5, whose father is a dragon rider.

Rena's surname, Ryūgu 竜宮, means "dragon palace", so there's another connection.

Wouldn't surprise me, she is like the flagship character despite not really being the protag or that critical of a character. I was surprised how little the club appeared in 8 it was short compared to the rest too. I'm moving on to the anime now and the remake anime.
