Well, akarigurashi is really really good, one hell of a solution for the whole gou/sotsu/ problem, but overall its still a pointless spin off to a problem that shouldn't be there to begin with. I still hate how satoko became some crazy yandere bitch that is just not what she would do, she's rika best friend and the last person that would kill her. Everything else is the exact same as the anime, so i wouldn't raise the score more than this, it doesnt change enough to make it worth an 8 or a 9, the original story is still perfect and there was no needfor a "sequel"
