Higanbana is objectively the "weakest" work of R07, due to its nature as a series of short stories. It doesn't even attempt to reach the level of a massive WTC story with a huge cast of characters and a setting that becomes more and more familiar each episode. It's not a proper linear story full of incredible moments and lovable characters like RGD.

And yet, despite my absolute love for all of his other works, Higanbana is the one I can't stop thinking about. I love its music, its atmosphere, its characters, the individual stories, the child characters, the youkai society and their powers, how it perfectly captures the subtle feelings of insecurity and fear that come with being a kid... Damn, I don't know why but I fucking love Higanbana. It's incredibly comfy and immersive despite being depressing as shit. If his other stories are crazy emotional rollercoasters, this is like a deep plunge into a dark abyss. I just want to know more about this world.
