The collab also meansHigurashicharacters will joinSinoalice, and it’ll be interesting to see which characters makes the cut besides Rena, (she’ll definitely be in asHigurashi’s poster girl), and the new artwork made for each one of them.Moreover, alive streamwas announced for August 21 at 2100 JST (Click here for time conversions).
