The Boogiepop series kicked off in 1998 with Boogiepop and Others, and so far 23 volumes have been published in Japan. An English language version of the series is available from Seven Seas Entertainment, who describe the story of the series as follows:
There is an urban legend that children tell one another about a shinigami that can release people from the pain they may be suffering. This “Angel of Death” has a name–Boogiepop. And the legends are true. Boogiepop is real.
If you need more Boogiepop in your life, Crunchyroll currently streams two anime adaptations based on the series: Boogiepop and Others and Boogiepop Phantom.
