[edit] Plot

Unlike Meakashi-hen, Tsumihoroboshi-hen is a totally different story where Rena undergoes a similar situation that befell upon Keiichi in Onikakushi-hen. This chapter explains many details on what went wrong in Onikakushi-hen, except this time the "victim" is Rena. This chapter ends with a happy ending, but a huge twist is inserted after the post-game TIPS.

[edit] Manga

The Tsumihoroboshi-hen manga illustrated by Karin Suzuragi will begin serialization in the Japanese manga magazine Gangan Powered. Later, the individual chapters will be collected into two tankōbon published by Square Enix.
