The Children Who Dream in Cicada is a magical realism story set in Japan focused around four main characters that attend the same junior high school and their attempts to discover what happened to their missing peer, Masumi Miyamoto. The story is set over a long time period just like the life cycle of the Cicada insect, symbolic in this sense. The end of the life cycle of the Cicada, or the end of their journey as children becoming adults symbolises their growth and development as human beings. Whilst the protagonist, Takahiro, and his friends are searching for Masumi, two veteran detectives of the Tokyo Police, detective Hirota and detective Kobi are appointed to solve the puzzling investigation.
Soon after the disappearance of Masumi, Takahiro Okada begins to experience strange day dreams, most frequently when he visits a mysterious coffee house that only appears to become visible when its raining. These day dreams seem to be revealing clues to the whereabouts of the missing Masumi Miyamoto. With help from his three chance new friends; Akari Matsuo, Kazuya Kurogane and Gorō Yoshida.
One Hundred Word Bio
Telling stories is one of the most important tools we have and the ones we hear have a lot of influence over us. During the last three years I have sought to find new and innovative ways to tell stories. There are so many ways to communicate a story and as a result of this I've made it my intention to sample and experiment with a range of methods. This way of working is intended to create content that is immersive and that people can connect with.
