Description
Summer 1983...Hinamizawa is a tranquil village, but its inhabitants have been plagued by strange deaths and unexplained disappearances seemingly every year. Some say it's the terrifying curse of Hinamizawa's legendary deity, Oyashiro-sama, causing victims to be spirited away by monsters, but is this town harboring dark, horrying secrets even more sinister than any supersition or myth?

By this chapter, the player should have an overall idea of how life in Hinamizawa is like. Once again, this chapter begins innocently, with the Watanagashi Festival again marking the start of the sinister events in Hinamizawa. An ancient curse strikes, and a pair of sisters are not what they seem. Shion Sonozaki makes her first appearance in this chapter, while Mion Sonozaki is portrayed as the villain.

The story is divided into a total of eight chapters: four "Question" arcs and four "Answer" arcs. Each chapter keeps the same main characters, but ends in a different way. However, each chapter gives valuable answers, hints, and clues to the previous one, while at the same time bringing forth even more mysteries.
The question arcs are: Onikakushi-hen, Watanagashi-hen, Tatarigoroshi-hen and Himatsubushi-hen.
The answer arcs are: Meakashi-hen, Tsumihoroboshi-hen, Minagoroshi-hen and Matsuribayashi-hen.
The side story arcs are: Onisarashi-hen, Yoigoshi-hen, Utsutsukowashi-hen, and Kokoroiyashi-hen.

Heavy on the "Murder", and throw in some "Paronoia".It's the Watanagashi Festival! by sara_was_here24 on June 21st, 2009, 3:23am

I love this arc! Prolly 'cause it's so mysterious and I love mysteries! Though of course on it's own it's impossible to solve. I like how the story centers around Mion and Shion. If your not readin it in order, shame on you! You go back and read it correctly right now! I guess crazy runs in the Sonozaki family. (they're crazy)

His fate was enebitable. People usually say "Man, keiichi messed up big time at the watanagashi festival" but I belive that the end of this arc has nothin, in any way, to do with...that night (I'm trying not to give anything away >.<) Just think about it. Yeah.

End conclusion: I think Keiichi is gay 'cause he has yet to make a move on either of the two hot twins.
