Higurashi no nakukoroni

Today, I will talk about my favorite book.
The book is "Higurashi no nakukoroni", which "When cicade cry" in English.
The scene of this story is laid in Hinamizawa in June.[Hinamizawa does not exist in the real world.] Hinamizawa is a small village. There is no tall buildings, convenience stores , or even vending machines. The model of Hinamizawa is said to be a small village in Gifu Prefecture.
This story is composed of two parts; the former is called "Question"[episode1-4], and the latter is "Answer"[episode5-8].
In Question part, the end of each episode is bad; All people inhinamizawa are killed. But in Answer part the main characters begin to try to prevent tragedis from happening, and in epispde8,finally they succeed to stop them.
