Genre: Horror/Thriller
Title:Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
Author: Ryukishi17
Synopsis:Higurashi no Naku Koro ni takes place during June 1983, at a fictional rural village called Hinamizawa, which has a population of approximately 2,000. The main character, Keiichi Maebara, moves to Hinamizawa and befriends his new classmates Rena Ryugu, Mion Sonozaki, Rika Furude, and Satoko Houjou. Keiichi joins their after-school club activities, which consist mostly of card and board games. Hinamizawa appears to be a normal, peaceful, rural village to Keiichi. However, the tranquility abruptly ends after the annual Watanagashi Festival, a celebration to commemorate and give thanks to the local god, Oyashiro. Keiichi learns that every year for the past four years, one person has been murdered and another has gone missing on the day of the Watanagashi Festival. Keiichi himself soon becomes drawn into the strange events surrounding the Watanagashi Festival and Oyashiro. In each story arc, he or one of his friends become paranoid, and a crime is committed. Usually, the crime involves the murder of one of their own friends. While it seems impossible to tell their delusions apart from the mystery of Hinamizawa, slowly the truth is revealed.
Why do you recommend this book? The thrill of confusion, the tenderness of your stomach as you read, and the haunting images that cannot be erased from your mind presents a wonderful horror story! Though scared stiff on some parts, I couldn't remove my eyes from each page.

Is this a book, manga, or graphic novel? Manga

You can leave your friends behind.
Because if they don't dance,
Then they're no friends of mine ~
