Spoiler for Minagoroshi:

Although, I had to give hands down to Kei-chan as a truly a member of Hinamizawa. Throughout the question chapters, Kei-chan was a poor sap of an idiot. But as Kai came along, he gains so many personal points inside me that it makes me difficult which character I should vote as my favorite for...Mion or Kei-chan.

On a side note, I am kind of interested in one of the alternate worlds that Rika lived through; the one that she said it was the most boring - the world where Keiichi doesn't move to Hinamizawa. Man, that must be really boring...no bukatsu!! No Angel-Mote!! No, "K"eeeeiiiiii da man!!

By the way, Sushi-Y, do you recall the scene in Meakashi where Rika stabs her own throat? She was calling out "Hanyuu, hanyuu-" at that time. It's really interesting to go back and play "Higurashi no Naku Koroni" and the other "Kai" chapters once again after completing Minagoroshi. You find yourself reading at the subtle meanings and hints now that you know all the secrets.

And I highly suggest listening to the Watanagasahi drama CD... Ms. Yukino Satsuki does an excellent job in acting Mion/Shion - especially now that we both know which one was which at each scene.
