General Information

"Higurashi no Naku Koro ni" (or "When They Cry") is a Japanese murder mystery dojin soft sound novel series that was produced by 07th Expansion.
In addition to this novel series, it has also been adapted as a game for PC, Playstation 2, Nintendo DS, iOS, and Android.

The anime series was directed by Chaiki Kon and produced by Studio Deen. There is also a live-action adaptation called Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (Shrill Cries of Summer).

The series is made up of various story arcs that last between four and five episodes in the anime. In each successive arc the story resets to the beginning without the characters being aware of it and bits of information are picked up from previous arcs to get closer to the mystery, however the ending comes out differently as a result.

As the series moves on, Keiichi learns about everyone’s complicated history and finds that this seemingly peaceful town isn’t all that peaceful after all. In a world of infinite bad endings, the characters struggle to find a way where nobody has to meet with tragedy.

Plot:
"One summer in 1983, a transfer student named Maebara Keiichi moves into a little rural village called Hinamizawa. The small village is so small that they only have one schoolhouse where all of the students in the town attend classes. While he’s there, he becomes close friends with his classmates: Rena, Mion, Rika, and Satoko. They form an afterschool club that plays all sorts of games ranging from cards and board games to water gun fights.

As soon as Keiichi gets comfortable, the real games start."
