The curse of Hitogata

Before the war, in the mountainous north, the small hamlet of Hitogata worshipped clay dolls according to ancient custom. During a festival, a woman was murdered, and residents called it their god’s curse: divine punishment for trying to take the god’s power into human hands.

In December 1957, nearly two years have passed since Toko Kuchiki was kidnapped from her hospital room. Reiji Tokisaka’s sister Yukari saves a man from suicide, but he becomes a victim of the curse’s return. Reiji tries to break a cycle of obsession that began before the war while still struggling with his own fixation on Toko. A cult, silent for six years, has risen again, and its plans are unknown.

The investigators

Reiji Tokisaka, a private detective and returning protagonist, left the police after losing his fiancée during a case. Sloppy and lazy in his personal life, he is dutiful at work and continues searching for the girl kidnapped after becoming involved in his investigation of the Girl in Shell case. He lives with Yukari and works to confront his past alone as a private investigator.

Tomoyuki Masaki is another protagonist. Yukari saved him from ending his life in Inokashira Park, and after leaving the hospital he takes temporary work as an assistant at the Tokisaka Detective Agency. He has lost some use of his left hand because of the method he used to attempt suicide.

Their friends and associates

Yukari Tokisaka is Reiji’s flexible, tolerant younger sister, a proud Art Club member who has moved up a year since the first game. She looks out for her brother and has a disturbing fondness for insects. At Oba Girls’ Academy, newly transferred classmate Yukiko Kayahara is quiet and awkward, and tends to avoid others; Yukari and her friends’ welcome is beginning to draw her out.

Kyoko Hazuki, Reiji’s childhood friend, owns the Moon World café and is now more than a friend to him. Michiru Shirosaki is an eccentric girl who carries a stuffed rabbit and talks to it, though she is remarkably intelligent. Satsuki, a quiet and mysterious girl in a kimono, arrived in Hitogata shortly before the festival as a guest associated with the Shigusa family; she seems fragile.

Karen Hinagami loves her quiet, kind older twin brother Ayato and is interested in fashion. Their childhood friend Meguri Takamiya, the same age as the twins, makes friends easily and sets the mood for the group. She seems to have special feelings for Ayato and shares Karen’s enthusiasm for fashion magazines.

Yuu Futami is due to inherit the Futami Inn, Hitogata’s only hotel. Orphaned by the deaths of both her parents, she was raised by her grandmother Yoshie, the inn’s current proprietress. Dutiful, serious and hard to please, she helps at the inn and is the most mature of her friends. Ayato is the grandson of Hidetomi Hinagami, Hitogata’s authority, and grew up under social pressure as a member of a prestigious family, spending much of his time painting alone. Naori Kuroya, cousin and childhood friend to the Hinagami twins, is studying to become a doctor and inherit his father’s clinic. He has an unusual but insightful way of thinking and gave the group their nicknames.
