Learn all about cicadas in this chapter. The cries they make are very interesting. I’ve included a bit more information on each of the cicadas included in the chapter in this post. Anyway, enjoy the chapter.
Large brown cicada (アブラゼミ) – cry
Kumazemi (クマゼミ/熊蝉) – cry
They are really, really big.
Tsukutsukuboushi (ツクツクボウシ/つくつく法師/寒蝉) – cry
You may have heard of them from a chapter of Azuma Kiyohiko’s Yotsubato. Yotsuba thought that their cries are actually made by fairies heralding the end of summer.
It was so interesting to hear all the different sounds they make and I somehow ended up making this uselessly long post. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the chapter (and the cicada cries)!
