[edit] Plot

Unlike Meakashi-hen, Tsumihoroboshi-hen is a totally different story where Rena undergoes a similar situation that befell upon Keichi 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 which began serialization in the Japanese manga magazine Gangan Powered in summer 2006. Later, the individual chapters will be collected into two tankōbon published by Square Enix.
