Same story, but the VN instead of the anime. It is essentially a horror/mystery/suspense/thriller. Still have yet to be scared by it, but its mysteries and suspense are quite good going by the previous 2 chapters. Would recommend if your into that stuff.

I had friends who were abused when I was a kid, the protag is 14 or so and one of his friends ~11 is being abused. It hits too close to home, the powerlessness, the reckless ideas, and the pain. The fact that it takes place in somewhere similar to where I grew up also adds to it, even then I feel guilty because I feel so awful when I wasn’t the one being abused…

@ElijahRyne I'm not really good with words, so I hope you won't mind virtual hugs instead.

When I hear about people getting treated bad I feel angry and helpless too. I grew up in a somewhat strict household, but my parents are kind parents in their own way. I can't understand or forgive people who abuse their own kids or anyone who does that. The abusers should feel guilty, not you. Also, take care while interacting with sensitive content like that. 
I remember the opening song of Higurashi anime, it sounded kind of cool and not scary. I assume you are talking about that anime.
