[edit] Plot
By this chapter, the player should have an overall detail of how life in Hinamizawa is like. If the first game Onikakushi-hen was the appetizer, Watanagashi-hen is the start of the main dish. Once again, the turn of events occurs from the end of the Watanagashi Festival after the new character and Mion's twin sister Shion Sonozaki makes her first appearance.
Mion Sonozaki is portrayed as being the "villain" in this chapter.
[edit] Manga
The Watanagashi-hen manga illustrated by Yutori Hōjō was first serialized in the Japanese manga magazine Monthly Gangan WING. Later, the individual chapters were collected into two tankōbon published by Square Enix.
