Line 5:
Marie Moriya is a rather timid girl, who is frequently bullied by her classmates. On top of that, Kanamori, her homeroom teacher who initially defended Marie, has begun to molest her at night in the [[Old School Building]]. When some of other students start talking about the seven mysteries of the school and that she may be a [[Youkai]], Marie desperately wishes to become one in order to kill everyone who makes her life a living hell. That wish is about to come true...
 
''Higanbana no Saku Yoru ni'', officially translated as "The Unforgiving Flowers Blossom in the Dead of Night" (literally translated as "On the Night the Red Spider Lily Blooms") is a horror manga series, created by the creator of the ''[[When They Cry]]'' series, Ryukishi07, and drawn by Ichirō Tsunohazu (the actual character designs are by Nishieda, though), that started in 2010. It is published in the Monthly Dragon Age magazine from Yen Press, who also published the manga adaption of ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro Nini]]''.
 
Ryukishi07 has adapted the manga as a two-part [[Visual Novel]] series, with each game being released on August 13 and December 31 of 2011, respectively. Unlike ''[[When They Cry]]'', each game is a [[Genre Anthology]] and contains up to seven self-contained short stories. Each of these stories follows a different protagonist, though Marie and her youkai companion Higanbana always show up as the central characters of the series.
 
This entry has a [[Higanbana no Saku Yoru Ni (Manga)ni/Characters|character sheet]].
 
A fan translation of the first sound novel [http://ronove.blogspot.ca/2012/06/higanbana-no-saku-yoru-ni-first-night.html has been complete].
Line 24:
* [[Corrupt the Cutie]]: Part of Kanamori's backstory; he was a decent and fairly cheerful [[Bishonen|young chap]] by the time he started work as a homeroom teacher. However, the unbearable stress of work, as well as his unhealthy fetish towards Marie, quickly warped his mind into [[Sadist Teacher|something far more sinister]].
* [[Creepy Doll]]: Higanbana often takes this form.
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: According to [[Word of God]], in comparison to his [[Higurashi no Naku Koro Nini|earlier]] [[Umineko no Naku Koro Nini|works]]. And considering how dark ''they'' were, that's saying something.
* [[Death By Origin Story]]: {{spoiler|Marie is strangled to death by Kanamori halfway through the first episode, then comes back as a youkai and shows up in just about every other episode}}.
* {{spoiler|[[The Dog Bites Back]]: Marie successfully becomes a youkai and gives [[Asshole Victim|Kanamori]] ''[[Kick the Son of Aa Bitch|exactly]]'' [[Kick the Son of Aa Bitch|what's coming to him.]]}}
* [[Expy]]: Sakunoshin is literally a ''carbon copy'' of Sakutaro from ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro Nini]]'', right down to the [[Verbal Tic]] "uryu~". They only differ by name, origin, and the fact that there's no badge on Sakunoshin's muffler.
* [[Fan Disservice]]: In the first chapter we get a picture of a naked Marie after she got abused by her teacher.
** More images of a naked, or nearly-naked, Marie show up as well. Considering that all of them show her being abused...
* [[Groundhog Day Loop]]/[[Groundhog Peggy Sue|Peggy Sue]]: [[Averted]]. This is a series that, unlike the [[Higurashi no Naku Koro Nini|other]] [[Umineko no Naku Koro Nini|two]], if [[Anyone Can Die|anyone dies]], [[Back From the Dead|that person]] [[Averted Trope|STAYS DEAD]]!
* [[Hot Mom]]: Episode 2 reveals that Marie has one.
* [[Kids Are Cruel]]: It's easier to list the names of students who ''aren't'' heartless bullies. And most of those students are the protagonists.
Line 38:
* [[Meganekko]]: Marie herself. Also the school nurse. Takeshi Nonomiya is a male example.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: "Meso meso" is the sound one makes while sobbing and crying, which is what Marie does quite often.
* [[Off Withwith His Head|Off With Her Head]]: As part of a hallucination(?) of Marie. Also the cover-page of chapter three.
* [[Rape Asas Drama]]
* [[Sadist Teacher]]: Kanamori, who abuses Marie to relieve his daily stress.
* [[Scare Dare]]
Line 45:
** {{spoiler|The rules of Mesomeso-san: One, if you encounter Mesomeso-san, you cannot talk to it. Two, you cannot respond to any of Mesomeso-san's questions. And three, you cannot attempt to find out Mesomeso-san's identity. Those who try are dragged into the toilet, get all the bones in their body broken, and are ultimately killed.}} Hook, line, and sinker {{spoiler|[[Asshole Victim|Kanamori]]}}.
* [[The Seven Mysteries]]: And the creation of an eighth...
* [[Shout -Out]]: The story of "Mesomeso-san" is similar to the story of Hanako of the Toilet.
** The [[Visual Novel]] contains blatant, unapologetic references to ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro Nini]]''. First there are kids who are talking about a manga and anime series called "[[Fan Nickname|Sea]] [[Ascended Meme|Cats]]," then there's a school play entitled "Rokkenjima." Then there's the character Sakunoshin, a carbon copy of ''Umineko'''s Sakutaro.
** In the character information, Michiru is revealed to buy clothes from a brand called [[Umineko no Naku Koro Nini|Auntie]] [[Mama Bear|Rosa]]
* [[Cut Himself Shaving|Stabbed Herself With A Pencil During Work-Time]]
* [[Youkai]]
