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

No way lol. The Yakubian devils steals a non white person’s work and is making it a commentary about race lol.

She’s also a lawyer

I can already see the defense. “My team chose the name and I simply agreed. I apologize for any inconvenience. I’ll be sure to vet my team more carefully next time.”

at least the plot itself is fairly different (while still being an unsolved murder thriller) but this is egregious

i really wanna just ask the author if she's read the vn or just seen the anime, going to gatekeep her from the wtc fandom
