When the cicadas cry

The summer of Showa 58. Hinamizawa, a deserted village in the mountains far away from the city. Keiichi Maehara recently moved to this small village with a total population of less than 2,000. His cheerful and well-spoken personality allowed him to quickly integrate into the new class. Among them, the ones with the best connections are Reina who loves to take care of others, Meiyin who is a leader, Satoko who is a master of conspiracy, and Rika who is the daughter of Fute Shrine and has a mysterious life experience... I thought that the carefree days would be like this. Continued. A festival held in June every year, the "Tenryu Festival". It was supposed to be just a fun day. Until he knew a mystery surrounding Hinamizawa... On the day of the festival, the tragedy was repeated over and over again. Since a series of bizarre deaths started a few years ago, on this day every year, one person will die and one person's whereabouts are unknown. What is the truth of the incident? Who is the murderer? Driven by curiosity, Keiichi stepped into the darkness of this village. From that day on, Keiichi's surroundings began to change little by little but definitely. That's right, because... in Hinamizawa, only the chirping of the night cicadas remains, as if announcing the early arrival of summer. As a victim in the fifth year, Rika can return to a certain point in time before her death with the help of the "god" Yuri who has been following her every time she dies (please refer to "Mio Jin's Edition" for details). However, Every effort ends in his own death, and that hasn't changed in a hundred years. (p> p>Furute Rika (古手里花 (ふるでりか) CV: Tamura Yukari/actor: あいか)

She is the only daughter of the Fute Shrine and the last member of the "Fute Family" of Hinamizawa's three families (all her relatives have passed away). The shrine maiden who holds the "Sendryu Festival" every June is said to be the reincarnation of the shrine god. As cute as a kitten, he is always in harmony with the people around him. He calls himself "servant" (usually a male self-portrait), talks little, and has cute catchphrases like "Mi~" and "Mi Pa~". He lived with Shaduzi who was the same age and often spent time together. He has a calmness and mystery that belies his age, giving people an incredible feeling. (Winner of the 2007 Japanese Moe Battle won the title of King of Moe)

She looks like a girl with lavender hair who is smaller than Rika and has horns on her head. She is the only known supernatural life form. She has existed for more than 2,600 years. No one except Lihua can see her or hear any sound she makes. Her body can pass through walls, and her consciousness is connected to Lihua. Whatever Lihua's mood or feeling, she will be the same as Lihua. (For example, if Haru says something that makes Rika angry, Rika will keep eating chili peppers, and Haru will feel very spicy and uncomfortable.)

Hinamizawa Syndrome after L5 attack can be heard Her footsteps. Because of his behavior, he would follow the L5 person and keep saying "I'm sorry. I'm sorry..." so the L5 patient thought it was "Osama-sama" who was causing trouble. Yuri helps Rika reincarnate again and again, always staying with Rika. Appears as a human in the last chapter of "Explanation".

Maehara Keiichi (Maehara Keiichi (まえばら けいいち) CV: Soichiro Hoshi / Actor: Maeda Kouki)

Birthday is April 1st, Aries. Blood type B, height 178CM, weight 60KG, studying in the second grade of high school.

Lives with his father and mother, who are painters. I originally lived in Tokyo, but due to some incident, I moved to Hinamizawa in May of Showa 58.

He had excellent grades in school in the city and was very smart. He is an upright and passionate person, and he is also very curious. He is an activist who will immediately take the bait as long as he is interested in interesting topics. But he is still immature and may be taught a lesson.

He is very good at talking and can be called a "verbal magician". In addition, he seems to call himself a "cute missionary" and seems to have unique ideas about maids, school swimsuits, cat ears, etc. A passionate young man with strong curiosity, an action-oriented boy who works hard whenever he hears good words. The protagonist of the three chapters of the title chapter (Onigaku-hen, Mianliu-hen, and Zousha-hen) is also the central character of the "All Kills-hen". He has excellent grades, has a quick mind, is good at talking, and has the ability to relate to others, so he is known as the "Magician of Language". However, he is often careless and is often caught by Shaduzi and Meiyin. I'm not good at cooking, and my whole house is almost burned down just by cooking.

Ryuugu Rena (Ryuugu Reina) (Ryuumiya Rina (りゅうぐうレナ) CV: Mai Nakahara/actor: Airi Matsuyama)

Birthday It’s July 20th, Cancer. Blood type O, height 159CM, weight 44KG, studying in the second grade of high school.

My real name is Ryuugiya Reina (れいな), but after returning to Hinimizawa, in order to forget about Komiya and her mother who left, she called herself "Reina (レイナ/レナ)", and others called her that.

A girl from the same school as Keiichi. She is the heroine of "The Ghost Hidden Arc". Then there is the protagonist of "Crime and Destruction". Although I also moved here (Ibaraki) from another place, I actually lived in Hinamizawa before, but later moved back again due to various factors. Helping Keiichi who just transferred to another school, he is a kind-hearted person who is unconsciously dedicated to his character. He also has a shy side and is often the butt of jokes by Keiichi and Meiyin. Like "~?~?" "Where??~?" and the like, and the repetitive speech pattern at the end of the sentence is a characteristic. His special skill is cooking, and his craftsmanship is very good. Lively and cute, with a dedicated personality, he is best friends with Keiichi and goes to school together every day. She goes berserk when she sees something "so cute" and has a bad habit of "taking it home" whenever she gets her hands on it, no matter how big or small. The targets include Satoko, Rika and other classmates, and even huge garbage is not spared, so the huge garbage disposal site at the dam fortification site is her treasure. From a certain perspective, it is in perfect contrast to Keiichi's personality. If Keiichi is a fiercely burning red flame, then Rena is a quietly burning blue flame. The casual skirt has a deep slit in the front, making it easy to see the underwear. One theory is that the clothes were designed by the fashion designer's father (now unemployed) or mother. When she turns black, she will hold a hatchet in her hand, so she is also called the hatchet girl.

Sonozaki Meiyin ( Sonozaki Meiyin (そのざきみおん) CV: Yukino Satsuki / Performed by: Asuka Rin)

Birthday is May 17, Taurus. My blood type is AB, my height is 162CM, my weight is 47KG, and I am in the third grade of high school.

Meiyin is one grade higher than Keiichi and Reina. She serves as the monitor in the class. She always acts like a big sister and has great leadership skills. Although she likes to be a bit nagging, this high level of tension is in line with the requirements of a good sister, so she is loved by those around her. For some reason he often calls himself "uncle". Although she looks fierce, she can sometimes be a gentle and kind side of a girl. He seems to have a good impression of Keiichi. She plays various games called "club activities" with Keiichi and the others after school, but she also has a character that does not hesitate to use any means to win in the game, so when she gets serious, she makes others a little scared. The biggest shortcoming of Meiyin is that it doesn't understand the atmosphere. On the other hand, she is also the eldest daughter of the Sonozaki family and the next head of the Sonozaki family, a surprising identity. She is the heroine of the "Mianryu Arc". She likes to wear costumes and often carries a model gun loaded with BB bullets (it is unclear whether it is a real gun in the original work). As the next head of the "Sonozaki family", the head of Hinamizawa's three families (commonly referred to as the head in the work's terms), in order to become the leader, he learned cooking, aikido, tailoring, ikebana, harp art, spearmanship, equestrianism, Radio, helicopter operation (so many...) and many other skills. Because of the custom of adding the word "鬼" to the name of the next head of the Sonozaki family, the name "Mei Yin" came from this. In fact, Meiyin is the second eldest son of the Maruzaki family, born after Shiyin.

Sonozaki Shion (Sonozaki Shion (そのざき しおん) CV: Yukino Satsuki)

Birthday is May 17, Taurus. Blood type AB, height 162CM, weight 47KG, studying in the third grade of high school.

Shiyin is Meiyin’s identical twin sister. The protagonist of the "Meimei Arc" and the side story "The Evil Arc".

Apart from her long hair, a little ponytail, and white knitted clothing, which are different from Meiyin's ponytail and casual clothes, her appearance is exactly the same as Meiyin's, and even her parents find it difficult to tell them apart. Therefore, when they came to Hinamizawa and lived with Meiyin in the past, they would often swap identities to play pranks. After changing her clothes, she looks like a eldest lady at first glance, but her cunning is even greater than Meiyin's. She often appears to tease Meiyin and Keiichi, and sometimes disturbs Meiyin and Keiichi's intimacy. Although Meiyin cannot resist Shiyin, the relationship between sisters is very good. Shiyin has never hated her life experience, but feels that it is better to have a sister, and she is not jealous that her sister can live happily in Sonozaki. This family.

Because the Sonozaki family does not allow twins to be born, Shion was supposed to be strangled to death the first time she took a bath, but she was rescued and survived. She lived at the foot of Hinamizawa Mountain and was named Xing. In Miyazaki, she hates the current head of Sonozaki (Shiyin calls her a ghost), and now works part-time as a waitress at the family restaurant "Angel Mort" in Komiya Town. At the same time, he is the ghost manager of Director Irie's rookie team "Hinamizawa FIGHTERS". I like Wu Shi. In fact, Shion was born before Meiyin, and is the eldest son of the Sonozaki family.

Hojo Satoko (Hojo Satoko (ほうじょう さとこ) CV: Kanai Mika/actor: Ono Kirina)

Birthday is September 23, Virgo. Blood type B, height 153cm, weight 41kg, studying in grade 6 of primary school.

Sadoko is the school girl of Keiichi and Reina and the heroine of the "Haunted Murder Arc". She has extremely high sensitivity and can also predict the opponent's actions and set traps in advance. This incredible interest ranges from mischievous to serious. Her back is full of trap areas. She is really an incredible ghost. clever. She will speak in a tone similar to that of a young lady, but her grammar is often wrong. I think it is high-class, but others only think it is provocative. Because of this mantra, I feel like he is a messed up person with a somewhat arrogant personality who hates losing but does not learn lessons.

You can’t tell from the outside, but he’s actually very good at sports, and he’s even better at baseball. I hate pumpkin. I always have a lot left over, and I can’t tell the difference between broccoli (dark) and cauliflower (white). As long as he encounters something related to Keiichi, a sense of confrontation will be ignited. The best prankster in the world. Calls himself a "trap master". Her talents have been fully utilized in club activities. Even Meiyin is afraid of her. She refuses to admit defeat by nature and often speaks in a strange young lady accent. Although he is sometimes arrogant and arrogant, due to reasons such as the disappearance of his brother, the death of his parents, and abuse, his heart has become very fragile. Sometimes he will be teased by Keiichi and Meiyin to the point of crying. Before his "disappearance", his brother was very dependent on his brother and called him brother. As "brother".

Takano Sansi (Takano Sansi (たかのみよ) CV: Miki Ito/actor: Kawahara Ayako)

Original name is Tianwu Miyoko, she can be regarded as one of the One of the main characters is a nurse (actually the boss) who works at Irie Clinic. She is usually intellectual and approachable, but sometimes has a look down on others, and occasionally has an excited side (when she is excited, she actually makes the same sound as pear blossoms...).

Her life experience and motivations were introduced in detail in "Explanation", and she is a member of the "Tokyo" organization. She was considered the mastermind behind the scenes and eventually became a victim of political struggle... Various inferences were made about the mysterious death of Hinamizawa. Takano can be said to be the final boss of the entire story. She is so evil that she almost wipes out humanity. And in this way Takano, but he can't hate her no matter what, because this woman's will is too strong and admirable. It was Takano's iron will that allowed Rika to repeat it for hundreds of years before finally defeating Takano in the final world. It was raining heavily again, and tears of despair flowed down the corners of Takano's eyes, but what she cared about was still the information book left by her grandfather. When Takano reached the end, she threw herself into Futake's arms and cried bitterly. She could finally let go of the God in her heart, let go of all her unwillingness and hatred, and end her sad and sinful life.

Irie Kyosuke (Irie Kyosuke (いりえ きょうすけ) CV: Toshihiko Seki / Actor: Tanaka Kotaro)

The director of Hinamizawa's only medical facility, Irie Clinic. Although the clinic has very few patients, considering the building and medical team, it is quite large for a clinic in a village.

He serves as the supervisor of the village baseball team "Hinamizawa Fighters" and is a member of the Wadryu Festival Executive Committee. People who like him ask him to supervise, and he actively contacts the village. He also serves as the Sonozaki family's family physician. Although he is young, his tone and calm demeanor are like those of an adult, so he is deeply trusted by the villagers. However, he likes the maid indiscriminately and speaks openly. It has a unique barrier called "Maid in heaven" and sometimes goes berserk when excited. Member of the "Tokyo" organization. Soul Brothers The Four Heavenly Kings of Darkness: "Iri"

Oishi Zangren (大石蔵人 (おおいしくらうど) CV: Cha Fenglin/ Actor: Sugimoto Tetsuta? Osugi Ren)

Served as Kogiya Police station, an old detective who has climbed up from the grassroots level. He believes that the mysterious death of Hinamizawa every year is a serial murder committed by one will (the Sonozaki family), and he is burning with obsession because he wants to solve the incident before retiring next year.

Because he came from the grassroots level, his practices were often illegal and he was persistent in investigating this case, so the villagers did not want to have anything to do with him. Although he is close to retirement, his wrist and grip strength are quite strong due to judo training, and those caught by him are probably unable to move. A very oppressive way of speaking and insistent questioning make the listener feel very unhappy.

Judging from the way an old male forensic examiner (name unknown) who also works at the Xinggong Police Station said, "I remember the chaotic times before," it seems that this was probably the case when I was young. Soul Brothers The Four Heavenly Kings of Darkness: "Claude"

Tomitake Jiro (Futake ジロウ (とみたけジロウ) CV: Toru Okawa / Actor: Kenji Taniguchi)

Several times a year from Tokyo Freelance photographer who comes to Hinamizawa. He seems to be engaged in professional wild bird photography, but for some reason he is very interested in Hinamizawa.

Soul Brothers Dark Four Heavenly Kings: "Domi"

Chie Rumiko (Chie Rumiko (ちえ るみこ) CV: Orikasa Fumiko/ Actor: Miwa Miwa)

A teacher at Keiichi School. During the protests over the construction of the Hinamizawa Dam, he was more concerned about the abolition of the Hinamizawa branch than the policies of the dam-promoting faction, so he took office on his own despite the instructions of the Board of Education. After the dam protest, he officially took up his post as a branch teacher under the operation of the Hou Town Association. A good teacher who puts children first is deeply trusted by the villagers.

Crazy curry fanatic. Curry is served three meals a day, and students who say bad things about curry cannot be forgiven. As a result, even a "curry vegetable garden" was cultivated in the school building.

Akasaka Mamoru (Akasaka Mamoru (あかさか まもる) CV: Daisuke Ono)

The protagonist of "The Fall" is also a criminal police officer affiliated with the Metropolitan Police Department's Public Security Department. He came to Hinamizawa because of the abduction case of the grandson of the Minister of Construction, and met Oishi and Rika.

In the police academy, because of their excellent grades, they are often among the elite vying for the chairmanship. There is a wife named Yukie, and she is already due to give birth at the time of the chapter.

I played mahjong when I was a student. A mahjong master who is known as the "guardian of the racecourse" in Tokyo, especially in the high-bet mahjong area around Takadanobachi. However, because the gambling rate was too high, he was banned from mahjong parlors everywhere, and because of Yukie, who he liked at the time, he no longer plays. Despite this, his strength has not diminished and he is still proud of his expert-level abilities.

Hojo Satoru (Hojo Satoshi (ほうじょうさとし) CV: Kobayashi Yu)

Sadouko's brother is in the same grade as Meiyin. Satoko likes to call him 'brother'. Keiichi transfers to another school for a year. Before, a few days after the Mianryu Festival, he disappeared.

He has a gentle adult personality. When he is troubled, he will make a sound of "um..." and always feels a bit unreliable.

Contrary to Satoko, he is a person who is not active in literary genres. He joined Hinamizawa Fighters due to Irie's persuasion. He is said to have a 30% batting average in the team, but he can't do it in official games. Like Saduzi, broccoli and cauliflower cannot be distinguished.

Compared with himself, his bat steals the spotlight.

SONAZAKI (Sonozaki お鉉 (そのざき おりょ) CV: Okohira Shitsuka)

The mother-in-law of Meiyin and Shiyin.

Meiyin and Shiyin like to call her "hag (おにばば)". The current head of the Sonozaki family has a high status in Hinamizawa.

Sonozaki Akane (Sonozaki Akane (そのざき あかね) CV: Kikuko Inoue)

The mother of Meiyin and Shiyin. First appearance in "Crime and Destruction Chapter". Meiyin and Shion's father is the leader and senior cadre of the "Sonozaki Group". On the surface, he is the president of Sonozaki Emerging Business Company, so Oishi often calls him "President Sonozaki" sarcastically.

It turns out that the next leader is not Meiyin but her. Sometimes when she runs away from home, she will be brought back by the current old team leader Sonozaki. After severing the parent-child relationship with Sonozaki, she loses the qualification to be the next leader. Her current name is "Akane". Originally, the leader of the Sonozaki family had the habit of adding ghost to his name. It was originally written as "Sou", but he changed to "Akane" after severing ties with the main family.

The terrifying martial arts sect known as "Tatsu of the Shotgun" in the past was, as its name suggests, proficient in various types of firearms such as shotguns and rifles. She has been quite active in many battles, and Kasai's name appears in almost all of Akane's past fighting history. He is a person that Akane trusts from the bottom of his heart and always follows him around. That’s why Oishi calls Kasai “Sonozaki Akane’s confidant.” Now he has stepped down from the front line to serve as a counselor, but his appearance is still famous in the Xinggong area.

Maehara Ichiro (Maehara Ichiro (まえばら いちろう) CV: Matsumoto Yasunori/actor: Yoneyama Zenkichi)

Keichi's father. His profession is nominally a painter, but he is actually a fan writer, and his pen name is "Maehara Painter". It’s not clear whether doujinshi is their main job or a side job, but it seems to be quite a big-shot club.

My personality is self-centered, and I am often unhappy when I have no inspiration at work.

He can be considered a rich man (as a son, Keiichi is not very self-conscious). As soon as he moved to Hinamizawa, he built a big house, so the villagers secretly called it "Maehara House". However, Keiichi said that most of them were his workplace and no entry or exit was allowed.

Maehara Aiko (Maehara Aiko (まえばら あいこ) CV: Matsui Nao Sakurako / Actor: Hoshi Yuki)

I have a good relationship with Reina. When we go shopping together, we will also get some pickles and side dishes.

Special terms

Frederica Bernkastel (フレデリカ?ベルンカステル )

The mysterious writer who appears at the beginning of each chapter. Nothing is known except the name, which may be in German. The female usage of Frederick comes from the German Frithuric.

The plot, ending or other related content of the work that refers to the relationship between Frederica Bernkastel and a character in the story may reduce the interest in enjoying the work.

Hinimizawa Village (Hinamizawa Village ひなみざわむら)

Some distance from Shikoku City in XX County, a small town with less than 2,000 people in the county (neighboring county and city Gifu Prefecture) village. In ancient times, it was called Oni nobuchi (おにがふち) village. Although it is called Hinamizawa "Village", it is actually just a small settlement in Shikoku City, with rich nature and clear air, which is the main stage of this work. There is a school, and most of the children in the village go to school here. The main facilities include clinics, Fute Shrine, etc.

Komachi ( Komiya おきのみや)

It’s a small town about an hour’s ride from Hinamizawa, and villagers often come here to buy things. The main facilities include the police station, library, family restaurant Angel Mort, toy store, baseball field, Seven mart (supermarket), etc.

Yatsushiro God/Osha God (オヤシロさま)

The name of the patron saint of Hinamizawa, written in Chinese characters as "Oyaba Shirakaki", is enshrined at Furute Shrine.

In addition, due to a saying that has been passed down since ancient times, the first girl born in the Fute family every eight generations will be recognized as the reincarnation of Yuna. Therefore, オヤシロさま in another sense, also has the saying of "Go Yatsushiro".

Subdued the cannibal ghosts that emerged from the ghost abyss in the past, and allowed the ghosts who wanted to change their lives to be good and live with humans to have human appearances. In order for humans and ghosts to live in peace, they stayed in the village. Protect them forever, the legend goes.

In order to protect the villagers who have become immortals (a hybrid of humans and ghosts), villagers are prohibited from going out, and outsiders are prohibited from intruding on communication activities here. At the same time, many precepts have been established.

Most versions are translated as Yushe Shen. It is based on the Chinese character writing of "Goshe様"

Wianliu Festival (Wianliu Matsuri Festival)

It is held on the 3rd to 4th Sunday of June every year. Hinami Ze's largest festival.

Before the Dam War, some members of the Hinamizawa family and the town association would hold a small cocktail party at the town association.

To celebrate the end of winter, quilts or cotton-padded clothes (mainly cotton inside) are used to survive the winter. The shrine maidens of Furute Shrine will perform an offering dance and tear them apart with a sacrificial shovel. This is roughly the kind of fun festival that involves splitting the cotton into pieces and sending them into the river. However, the name of the ancient Onibuchi "Mianryu Festival" is said to be the "Intestinal flow festival" ("Mian" and "Intestine" in Japanese are the same pronunciation). In order to satisfy the desire of ghosts to eat people, they regularly held people's stomachs cut open, and their intestines were removed and inserted. The bloody ritual of entering flowing water and sinking a person into a swamp.

Every year on the day of the Mianliu Festival, one person dies and the other goes missing, so the villagers generally call it "the trouble of the God of God".

The Three Families (ごさんけ)

From the past, Hinamizawa has been essentially dominated by the three families, including the Kōyu family, the Furute family, and the Sonozaki family.

In the past, the Gongyou family represented the village as the village chief, the Fute family was the head of the Fute Shrine, the center of faith, and the Sonozaki family had always served as the village police. From ancient times, a balance of power has been roughly maintained, and important matters in the village are decided by agreement between the three families.

The power distribution of the modern Gosan family is overwhelmingly led by the Sonozaki family who succeeded in post-war reconstruction, followed by the Kōyū family (village chief), and finally the Furute family whose relatives died due to the Pacific War. (Only pear blossoms remain). Therefore, the agreement between the Gosan family was only in name. In fact, everything about Hinamizawa was decided by the Sonozaki family.

Social Activities (BU Activity)

It was founded by Sonozaki Meiyin in Showa 57. Mainly just playing various games in the classroom after school. The games are mainly various non-electronic games collected by Meiyin, such as table games or sports games played on the playground. If you lose, a horrific (and humiliating) punishment game awaits. Moreover, they "do whatever it takes to win", so they have to work hard to survive under the rules set at the beginning. Fierce fights are often staged, sometimes even violating good customs, and it is common for people around them to be involved.

Maehara Keiichi’s reversal stunt, which only comes into play when he is in last place, is not only powerful, but can even drive players into a frenzy.

Hinamizawa Dam Construction Plan (Hinamizawa Construction Design Design Design Co., Ltd.)

Large-scale dam construction that flooded the entire Hinamizawa plan, due to the urgent need for water control and electricity accompanying Japan's high economic growth, the country began to build a large number of dams.

Of course, the villagers will strongly oppose it. There was also an extreme village-wide resistance movement called the "Dam War", and as a result, the dam construction plan was frozen indefinitely at the end of Showa 54.

Onibuchi Shoujun Alliance (Onibuchi Shoujun Alliance おにがふちししゅどうめい)

A protest group composed of villagers in order to withdraw the Hinamizawa Dam construction plan , using various means to resist. One of the three Gossori families, Mr. Yukichiro Gong, who is also the village chief, serves as the nominal president, and the one who holds the real power is the leader of the Sonozaki family, Sonozaki Yuzaki (Meiyin's grandmother).

The formation and dissolution of the alliance happened before this article. It's just that the era stage of the Hakuba Chapter is the Alliance Era.

The Hinamizawa Great Disaster (Hinamizawa Great Disaster)
