About this title

Synopsis

Following the events at Tenjin Elementary School, the survivors try to come to terms with the traumatic incident. Though the curse was broken, they lost many friends, who have subsequently been forgotten by everyone else; anyone who perished in the hellish dimension has been erased from existence. However, not everyone is forgotten, and it is this small ray of hope that leads two of the survivors to investigate the culprit's home and discover the origin of the curse. Here, they find the infamous Book of Shadows, an evil tome containing many dark curses, and surprisingly, even a spell for resurrecting the dead. With no other option, they perform the ritual, but end up with far more than they bargained for. Corpse Party: Book of Shadows follows these two survivors as they tempt fate once again, while also providing a look at the intertwining stories of other characters from the series. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

At one point, Yoshiki considered getting himself expelled from Kisaragi Academy since he could not find a reason to continue attending if he had no interest. However, Ayumi changed Yoshiki's mind on the matter after standing up for him against their PE teacher Mikio Tsubota. Carrying over from his attitude at school, Yoshiki is prone to outbursts of frustration when faced with difficult situations. Though he often means well, his actions can appear cold or even selfish to those around him. (Source: Corpse Party Wikia)

Age: 16 Birthdate: December 14 Sign: Sagittarius Height: 158 cm (5' 2") Weight: 46.4 kg (102 lbs) Blood type: A Naomi is generally a bright and cheerful, if stubborn, teenage girl. Often feels the need to take charge of everything she is involved with, which usually causes her to butt heads with Satoshi Mochida. This behavior hides a more "girlish" side to her that enjoys shopping and grooming herself like other average girls her age, which shows itself whenever she plays with her friend Seiko Shinohara. She also tends to let her emotions control her actions: when stressed, she is prone to acting like a spoiled child who whines, complains, and lashes out at everyone around her. However, she is very self-aware of herself during such intervals, but has extreme difficulty stopping herself from acting in such an immature manner, which causes her to feel guilty whenever she regains control of herself.

Age: 14 Height: 140 cm (4' 7") Weight: 34.2 kg (75 lbs) Birthday: October 2 (Libra) Blood Type: A Despite being a teenager, Yuka acts in a much younger manner than her age due to her being pampered by her parents. She tries to act like an adult in order to be taken more seriously by her peers, but her constant failures at doing so cause her to come across as even more immature. Her naivety makes her childlike innocence more apparent than most others trapped in Heavenly Host Elementary School, but it also makes her susceptible to being manipulated by the school's more ill-intentioned residents (humans and ghosts alike). It also makes her more psychologically vulnerable to the horrors of the school, causing her to easily break down at the sight of blood, violence, and death. Because she is spoiled, she depends on those older and more mature than she is to make decisions for her. However, her experiences throughout Heavenly Host force her to act more on her own decisions.
