Proceed at your own risk. The Boogiepop Wiki is currently under heavy construction.

The Boogiepop Series

The Boogiepop Series (ブギーポップシリーズ, Bugīpoppu Shirīzu) is a light novel written by Kouhei Kadono and illustrated by Kouji Ogata. It has multiple forms of media with interlaced stories, from the original light novels to anime and manga.

The classic series follows the titularly named shinigami, Boogiepop. Among the female youth, this specter is rumored to be an attractive boy wearing a strange cape, who kills people at the most beautiful point of their lives, before they can grow any uglier. Unbeknownst to those spreading the urban legend, inside the body of a regular high school girl, Touka Miyashita, Boogiepop dwells as a mechanism that floats to the surface whenever a threat to the world appears, ending the lives of those responsible.

Fan Translation
Due to the lack of official English translations for a large majority of the series, the only way for English-speaking readers to enjoy the story is through the fan translation. It is a non-profit effort, and if and when the series is picked up for licensing once more, the unofficial translation will cease. Progress: Completed Boogiepop Wicked
