I spent a month reading one of the longest cult classic murder mystery stories ever written.

I wonder if I liked it? (checks the runtime of the review) Uh oh!

Be sure to check out the Imgur Album of highlights from my liveblog of the reading (spoilers!). It's just like the ones we used to do for book club. There's also the cast family tree beneath the Table of Contents you can look at so it's easier to follow along.

NOTE: The media covered in this review contains subject matter not appropriate for everyone. "Umineko" heavily features the following: Violence, gore, domestic abuse, child abuse, child murder, sexual assault, incest, and Erika Furudo. Viewer discretion is advised.
