[Boogiepop 03] • Boogiepop Returns · VS Imaginator Part 1

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 took First Place in Media Works' Dengeki Game Novel Contest in 1997 and ignited the Japanese "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 entitled *Boogiepop Dual* , and the unforgettable original anime series *Boogiepop Phantom*.
