You know I'm actually very bitter they decided to give Rena a son instead of a daughter in Higurashi Reiwa.
I've talked a little about this before, but Rena's relationship with femininity and internalized misogyny is one of the most compelling aspects of her character to me. Iām not really sure if it was something that was entirely intended by Ryukishi, however Tsumihoroboshi still put a lot of focus on her perception of women and gender expectations particularly through her relationship to her mother and Rina; of having to perform femininity and incarnate the image of a perfect cute school girl if she wants to be truly happy and dismissing every parts of her that doensāt fit that image, all that in a way that definitely adds a very interesting layer to her character.
So the idea of her having to confront and challenge those deeply engrained ideas and prejudices once sheās an adult to raise her own daughter, especialy as a divorcee single mother, has sooo much cool potential. That would a lot more interesting and makes for a good conclusion to her character/arc too. Like sure you can make an argument there could be some stuff to do regarding this with her having a boy too, but I genuinely donāt think itād be to the same extent.
(āBut then Girl!Kihiro and Keitarou would have been way too much like the og Keiichi & Renaās relationship--ā well yeah, maybe then we couldļæ½ļæ½ļæ½ve given these kids actual proper personalities. Maybe we couldāve even had Keitarou be a girl too! Win-win) Also looking it up, even if it depends on the spelling of course it seems that āKihiroā is more common as a female given name, and Iām just aghhh, Ryukishi why! (Thereās even this spelling Iāve seen with the characters āki åøā (hope) and āniji č¹ā (rainbow) (contrary to Kihiroās actual spelling which is just āåøęÆåā and the last two characters donāt mean much of anything) and itās such a pretty name/meaning ;_; Let Kihiro be a girl with that name, come on--)Ā
(The only way Iād like the current canon would be if Kihiro is actually a trans girl buuuut I heavily doubt it dsgfdds)
Also, a bit unrelated but on the topic of Rena, Iām surprised so many people seems to have taken Rena divorcing and ending up as a single parent as a bad or mean-spirited thing, which... I mean, I can see why, but actually reading the manga I donāt think thatās the case at all?
Like, first of all divorce is not necessarily a bad thing! It can be, and yes in Renaās case it was actively traumatic for her, but in Reiwa weāre explicitely told by Kihiro that it was a good and healthy thing for their family and that it actually improved things. Theyāre still in contact with the ex-husband/father and seems to have an okay relationship with him, and although we havenāt seen much of their family life Rena seems to be genuinely happy and at peace with her situation?
Thereās a lot I dislike about Reiwa, but (at least for now, of course it could still change later on) Rena divorcing is really not one of them. Instead of seeing it as mean-spirited I genuinely think it feels more like Rena actually... reclaiming something bad that hurt her deeply in her childhood and turning into something positive, if that makes sense? The situation is very different from the one with her own parents, and yeah, I honestly like that. Iām hoping that imply she also maybe came to make peace with her fraught relationship with her mom and reached out to her half-sister too. (I also really like single mom Rena to be honest, especially given sheās the only one of the group who doesnāt conform to the Traditional Nuclear Family thing the others have going on, but thatās a personal preference here lol)
(....Even if yeah she still should have had a daughter Iām sorry--)

Iām not sure that feeling will last for long tho...
Kihiro is really a cutie
Fake tears NEVER work in Higurashi lmao (except with Satoshi in Meakashi awwww)
Tamaki is such a cutie too aw
No doubts Rena would have tried to take all of them home when they were babies ahah
Awww Mama Mion watching over the children <3 About that image, some days ago I read a really funny comment likeĀ āāSee Keitarou? All of this would be yours if your father didnāt lose his mindāā or something like that lmao
You can bet they are teasing Satoko about which one is Broccoli and which one is Cauliflower ahahhaha I wonder if Sakiko can distinguis about them lmao
Ugh the fact that Satokoās husband looks like Okonogi, the way he smiles...I have a bad feeling about him. Heās also like the only new spouse that Ryukishi make us to see clearly and who has a face, because Mionās husband isnāt shown at all and obiovusly neither Renaās ex husband, you can kind of see Keiichiās wife but not her face...I think thereās a reason for which Ryukishi made a different decision about him.
