Boogiepop and Others

Boogiepop and Others Summary:

This is the first novel in the series.
There is an urban legend that children tell one another about a s.h.i.+nigami that can release people from the pain they may be suffering. This “Angel of Death” has a name–Boogiepop. And the legends are true. Boogiepop is real.
Told in a non-linear fas.h.i.+on that asks the reader to piece together the sequence of events to solve the mysteries alongside the characters, Kouhei Kadono’s first Boogiepop novel took First Place in Media Works’ Dengeki Game Novel Contest in 1997 and ignited the j.a.panese “light novel” trend. Today, there are over 2 million Boogiepop novels in print, a feature film and manga adaptation based on the first book, an original manga ent.i.tled Boogiepop Dual, and the unforgettable original anime series Boogiepop Phantom.
