An omnibus of Kouhei Kadono's first three novels that started the hit franchise, a modern classic that sparked the light novel craze in Japan! There is an urban legend that children tell one another about a shinigami 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 fashion that asks the reader to piece together the sequence of events to solve the mysteries alongside the characters, Kouhei Kadono's first Boogiepop novel ignited the Japanese "light novel" trend.
