Description

World End Syndrome follows the story of a 17-year-old high school junior trying to escape his troubled past. After causing an accident resulting in his older sister’s death, he receives an invitation to transfer to Mihate High School. He takes it gratefully, hoping to start a new life and forget his past.

But Mihate Town is not the coastal paradise it appears to be. It is home to the legend of the Yomibito, where the dead come back to life every 100 years. Once resurrected, the Yomibito attack the living to regain their sanity, but the dead’s thirst is never quenched. This year happens to be 100 years since the last known incident…

As the protagonist navigates his new life with a colorful cast of new friends, a student at Mihate High suddenly dies. The murder sends shockwaves through the idyllic town as he finds himself caught in a string of strange incidents, romance, and unforgettable summer experiences…

She's a decent athlete, and even competed in national tennis tournaments during her junior high school days. She is strong-willed and quite prideful, but respects Maimi and Miu's seniority. She speaks her mind and so is constantly arguing with the equally strong-willed Kensuke. She always travels by car with her driver, the elusive Hattori, always at her side.

Description

She lives in the mansion and attends Mihate High School. Maimi is strong-willed and doesn't like to give up. She gets high grades and is good at sports, being the top athlete in the tennis club after joining it two years ago. She is sloppy and tomboyish despite her looks. Kensuke calls her an "unfortunate woman" and "cute if she shuts up." She has a very low tolerance for alcohol, and gets drunk off the smallest amount from a piece of fancy chocolate candy. Because her birthday is August 31st (the last day of summer break), she has never had any friends celebrate her birthday, and she has always resented this fact.

Description

She teaches social studies at Mihate High School, and her beauty attracts the gaze of all the male members of the student body. Kensuke calls her a succubus, given her blatant displays of adult charm. She established the Mystery Club, officially known as the Tribal Studies Research Club, to uncover the mysteries of the world. With membership applications pouring in, she hand-picked a limited number of students as a trial run. Her young adult romance novel, "Worldend", is based on Mihate Town's Yomibito legend, and it became a nationwide best-seller. The book is now being adapted into a motion picture.
