Synopsis
Cicada is the story of Jumpei-- a man who loses sight of his progeny when he finds out he is infertile, but then is given the gift of clairvoyance and begins to see glimpses of the future.

Though his lineage ends with himself, Jumpei starts anew as a father-figure to his sister's young son.
