not only is 34 an important number in the when they cry series, this book takes place in 2017, meaning that the murders took place in 1983 WHICH IS THE YEAR HIGURASHI TAKES PLACE. also icymi 'when cicadas cry' is just a literal translation of higurashi no naku koro ni

Me, who's never played or looked much into Higurashi: "hey wait a minute that sounds like Higurashi".

Extremely bold move if they did just copy it and assumed nobody would notice.

the title is just the same, but the plot at least seems fairly different from the blurb and the reviews i skimmed

seems way less anti-cop than r07 too
