Sadako Yamamura was merely a young girl, isolated from society due to her perilous and captivating psychic abilities. It's difficult to picture, but this girl who would ultimately crawl out of your television and bring about death through sheer terror was once a beautiful and bewildered child. This narrative delves into Sadako's life before she became the haunting figure in the well; it explores the story of a terrifying power emerging from a timid girl. (Source: Dark Horse) "The Ring 0: Birthday" was released in English as "The Ring: Volume 0" by Dark Horse on March 30, 2005.

    I was pissed cos it's a shit note on which to end an amazing manga. Why give the final chapter to some cunt we care nothing about, who wants to break up the main couple?

    Of the four bonus chapters, only two were relevant to the plot (Sayaka and Mayumi/Shiro). Like with Takahashi, I'm sure many others care nothing for Mayumi's friend. I would've much preferred bonus chapters on Hayashi and Shiina and their obvious love interests, or Sumireko, and especially maybe a final chapter of Ritsu and USA living together.
