Boogiepop wa Warawanai: Boogiepop and Others (2000)

Shinyou academy students die and one student is investigating this murder mystery - determined to catch the monster behind these murders.

You need to pay attention to the interludes to understand the whole story. That's what connects the whole story.

Eventhough it is a heavy theme for a high-school story , those who played the parts of Boogie pop, Manticore, Echoes, Nakao, Saotomekun, Nagi - all did their parts well.
