In addition to their announcement that Umineko no Naku Koro ni is now available via their official online store, MangaGamer have announced that a French localized edition of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai is now available for purchase via their online store – under the translated title Le sanglot des cigales. Given that MangaGamer generally deal in English translated titles, this is an odd but no doubt welcome decision by French-speaking fans.
While I have never studied the language and wouldn’t be able to test the localization work, one commenter by the name VonMalvarius stated that this was one of the best translations they had ever seen.
