Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Special - Nekogoroshi-Hen ひぐらしのなく頃に 猫殺し編 (2007)

this is a short story separated from the first episode of the anime (Higurashi no Naku Koro ni). another perspective of telling the story, a very simply introduction to the "Oyashiro-sama Curse".

some places in this world are considered Taboo. in this world, where there is light, there is always shadow .. where there are good places, there are bad ones as well .. there are instances where threading upon these places will make people miserable without reason. when us human are unable to define such dreadful places well in words, we called such places "taboo".
