This is a simple translation of Wakako Masuda's concept notes for Chinchikurin! It outlines some of the basic information about the characters as well as their day-to-day lives.
This is subject to change as more information is released. You may find...
Masuda village is located deep within the Kyushu Mountains, surrounded by four prefectures. The village has roughly 100 inhabitants. There are 7 high school students, 1 junior high student, and 3 primary school students. There are 2 infants of pre-school age.
The language is varied, possibly due to trade between the four prefectures, but it is closest to the Miyasaki dialect and is spoken in a relaxed manner.
There is no internet signal, so all phones and even computers are useless. They live a pre-historic lifestyle based on self-sufficiency, with only a few household appliances in use.
Electricity is provided by a generator at the general union office at the foot of the mountain. However, the lights are switched off at 22:00 (10pm). Telephones, televisions, etc. aren't installed in each house, but are shared by all.
The title image* is not of ghosts, but of a group of villagers wearing a unique fashion style called "Yamidare".
