Well, I’ve always loved the Boogiepop series – all of it. The series, the live action movie with what seems to be a $15 dollar budget, the manga, and the novels.

Boogiepop at Dawn is the newest translated piece of all that – it’s the fourth novel in Kouhei Kadono’s, what i’d like to think of as really fucking awesome, series Boogiepop. If you don’t know, boogiepop is a bit hard to explain or stick in a genre, I guess it’d be mild horror, heavy-drama/mystery, and heavy suspense. It’s slow but keeps you drawn in the entire time and has a really deep story somehow that, really without seeing the show, watching the movie, and reading all the manga and novels – you wont be able to completely understand, as it slowly unravels each answer while giving you even more questions in each of those. This is NOT the final novel in the series – so don’t get the wrong idea, for those who can’t read Japanese the story is still not completely explained yet.

Anyway the story is too hard to really explain, as like i said, it’s not really an easy to explain thing.
