Witch Hunt or Mangagamer

Shipping state: the Witch Hunt fan translation covers all eight episodes; the Mangagamer 2016–2017 English release uses a revised script and the PS3 sprites + voices. The original sprites are a taste — not everyone wants them — but the 07th Expansion sprite set is part of the texture of the original experience.

Filing this alongside Higurashi in the When They Cry shelf is correct but load-bearing: this entry presumes you are willing to read in eight-to-twelve-hour episodes and trust the author to pay you back. Both things the previous series already asked of you.
