The Newest Title from The Creator of Higurashi and Umineko When They Cry is Available for Order on MangaGamer

September 27th, 2019--Ciconia When They Cry is Available for Order Now on MangaGamer!

"In this next game, I won't give you the privilege of being a player!" challenges creator Ryukishi 07, with regards to his newest release, Ciconia When They Cry!

http://www.MangaGamer.org/07thexpansion/

In Ciconia When They Cry, World War 3 has come and gone, with nuclear winter only narrowly avoided by new military technology, the Gauntlet, which allows those wielding one to fly like fighter jets, fight like battleships, and repel attacks like tanks without any additional equipment. The Gauntlets require particular talent and special training administered from a young age in order to control, and the young boys and girls capable of mastering of them become known as Gauntlet Knights. The main characters of Ciconia When They will be a group of these young Gauntlet Knights who, after the peaceful competition in the International Battle Standard Festival, become fast friends vowing to prevent another world war together. However, world events are leading directly to World War 4 like a cascading row of dominos, and these "main characters" are nothing but pawns in the global games played by those with a right to sit at the table.

Will these youth be forced to murder each other? Can the tragedy of war be prevented by mere pawns? Who are the real players in these games, and will you, the fans of When They Cry, fight for your seat at this deadly game?

Ciconia When They Cry – Phase 1: For You, the Replaceable Ones
Though the world was nearly destroyed during World War III, it was saved from a nuclear winter by cutting-edge tech. 100 years later, this eventually gave rise to a new ultimate military technology, the Gauntlet, which fascinated children all over the world. In this new era, all existing military forces would become obsolete, except for the small number of boys and girls who have what it takes to become a Gauntlet Knight…

The young are supposed to be the main characters in their own eras.
But in reality, they're nothing but game pieces lined up on the board of those who are crafty and more experienced.

Must these boys and girls be forced to kill each other as pieces?
Who are the pieces, and who are the players? And who does the players' bidding?

What victory conditions does each person have? Is it peace? War? Annihilation?

Is the foretold tragedy a scheme or a delusion, the future or reality?

No. There is no need to resist this tragedy.

The job of a game piece is to dance about within the tragedy's grasp.
What are the rules of the game, you ask? How hard is it? That's for us to decide, so it's none of your concern.

All you people need to do is take pieces and get taken yourselves, entertaining us with the range of your emotions.
Are you listening? You don't want to misunderstand your position.

You aren't my opponent. You're merely a piece that exists for my amusement. In this next game, I won't give you the privilege of being a player!
