''When the Cicadas Cry Karma''}}, licensed in English as '''''Higurashi: When They Cry - New''''', is a 2020 sequel to the {{higurashi}} visual novel and [[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (anime)|2006 anime]] created by Studio DEEN. The new project, animated by [[w:Passione (company)|Passione]], began airing on October 1, 2020. A sequel, titled {{sotsu}}, was announced on March 18, 2021.
 
== Plot ==
The story was initially marketed as a remake of {{higurashi}}. On one hot summer day in 1983, a transfer student named Maebara [[Keiichi Maebara]] comes to a peaceful rural village in Hinamizawa. There, he befriends his classmates Rena, Mion, Rika, and Satoko. Accepted as a full-fledged member of the "[[The club|club]]," Keiichi and the gang plays all sorts of activities ranging from card and board games to hide-and-seek. But just as Keiichi was beginning to be assimilated in simple rural life, he stumbles upon the dark history of Hinamizawa. As Keiichi dives deeper into the mystery, he finds that his new found friends may not be all what they claim to be.
 
Eventually, the story was revealed to be a sequel rather than a remake. [[Rika Furude]], the hidden protagonist of the original story, is forced back into the cyclical June of 1983, despite her success in {{matsuribayashi}}. Rika endeavors to discover why she is being tormented again and learns the dark truth about what occurred after she previously escaped the endless loops of Hinamizawa.
== Characters ==
=== Main characters ===
;{{Nihongo|[[Keiichi Maebara]]|前原 圭一|Maebara Keiichi}}
:The protagonist of {{onikakushi}}, {{watanagashi}}, and {{tatarigoroshi}}. The son of a famous artist, his family recently moved to Hinamizawa after a violent incident event involving him in their hometown. His charisma and remarkable talent for rhetoric allow him to easily make new friends and become popular in the village, not to mention win some of the club activities.
 
;{{Nihongo|Rena Ryugu|竜宮 レナ|Ryūgū Rena}}
:Rena is a girl in the same grade level as Keiichi and the main female protagonist of the question arcs. She is very kind and takes care of Keiichi whenever possible, but is also naïve and is usually subject to light teasing by Keiichi. She is distinguished by her obsession with things she perceives as adorable, calling them {{Nihongo|''kāii''|かぁいい||a slurred form of {{Nihongo|''kawaii''|かわいい}}, meaning "cute"}}, which are usually [[Wikipedia:moe (slang)|moekko]] characters or items she finds while scouring the local dump. Whenever she sees something that grabs her attention, she proclaims {{Nihongo|"I'm gonna take it home!"|お持ち帰り〜|Omochikaerī}} and proceeds to try and do so, becoming virtually unstoppable during these intervals. She also utters the phrase {{Nihongo|''haū''|はぅ〜}} when excited or flustered, and has a habit of repeating phrases at the ends of her sentences, most famously {{Nihongo|''kana? kana?''|かな? かな?||lit. "I wonder, I wonder?"}}. This is also an onomatopoeia of the sound that higurashi cicadas make.
 
;{{Nihongo|Mion Sonozaki|園崎 魅音|Sonozaki Mion}}
:Mion is the oldest kid in Keiichi's class. As the elder, she is the class president and everyone looks up to her as the leader. Her social skills are on par with Keiichi, whom she highly respects as a friend and rival (though it is later shown that she is in love with him). She acts like a tomboy, and calls herself oji-san (meaning old man), but has a hidden girlish side. She is next in line to be the head of the Sonozaki household, one of the Three Families which holds tremendous influence in Hinamizawa.
 
;{{Nihongo|Satoko Houjou|北条 沙都子|Hōjō Satoko}}
:Satoko is a younger classmate in Keiichi's school. She has a distinctive style of speech, ending all of her sentences with ''~wa'', and is known for her boastful laugh. In spite of her young age, she seems to have an impressive arm strength and is quite clever in setting up traps, and likes to practice on Keiichi. Although her personality is quite energetic and mischievous during the events of the games, Satoko's past was full of trauma; she shoved her parents down a cliff because she was paranoid, caused by the Hinamizawa Syndrome, and she was abused by her foster parents (her aunt and uncle), and her beloved brother Satoshi disappeared.
 
;{{Nihongo|Rika Furude|古手 梨花|Furude Rika}}
:Rika is a younger classmate in Keiichi's school, and is in the same grade level as Satoko. Naturally, she is great friends with her, as they live together in the same house. She is revered by the villagers as the heir of the local shrine, and plays the role of a [[Wikipedia:miko|miko]] in the annual Watanagashi Festival. She has been the head of the Furude house since her parents died, but rarely attends town meetings due to her young age. While she does speak in normal context, she likes to say nonsense words such as {{nihongo|''mii''|みぃ〜}} and {{nihongo|''nipah''|にぱ〜}} and often ends her sentences with {{nihongo|''nano desu''|〜なのです||lit. "it is so"}}, which inflame Rena's passion for cute things. She also likes to describe events using sound effects, such as "The cat was going 'nya nya' and 'scritch scritch'" or saying "Clap! Clap! Clap!" when clapping her hands.
 
=== Recurring characters ===
;{{Nihongo|Kuraudo Ooishi|大石 蔵人|Ōishi Kuraudo}}
:Kuraudo Ooishi is a veteran police investigator at Okinomiya who has vowed to solve the mystery of the Hinamizawa murders before his retirement, to avenge the first victim who he was friends with. Due to his uncouth tactics and the lengths that he goes to in order to solve the mystery, he is looked upon as a nuisance by the villagers, especially the Sonozaki family. He approaches one of the main characters to become his informant in several arcs, and is sometimes unwittingly responsible for triggering their paranoia.
 
;{{Nihongo|Jirou Tomitake|富竹 ジロウ|Tomitake Jirō}}
:Jirou Tomitake is a freelance photographer who occasionally visits Hinamizawa (Around three times every year). He gets along well with Miyo Takano, because of their similar interests in photography. Despite being only an occasional visitor, he seems to know a fair amount about Hinamizawa's past (Specifically the Hinamizawa murders). Ooishi and the police are suspicious of his true identity.
