based on an older japanese game, corpse party is about a bunch of high schoolers who do a charm to always be together, the charm fails as someone didnt do it right, and they ended up in the "other side" basically a broken down elementary school, which you will need to play the game or read as i cant explain it well without spoiling. the charm is popular as you see a lot of other students corpses are lying around in various parts of the school that are from different schools across the country from different times. there are evil spirits out to kill the ... living and its pretty gorey, as the videogame originally had MULTIPLE endings so the manga has a certain ending as the anime version has another ending. its very enjoyable to read and figure out the route the manga takes from the videogame. its very creepy and keeps you on your toes to keep you wanting to read and read. i highly recommended if you like scary horror manga or stories

One of my personal favorites. Really graphic, but well done. I like the artwork. Nice plot twists as well. :D The storyline ties in well when you read further, the kind of thing that makes you go, "woah, wait a minute!" I enjoy violence, so it's a plus for me as well. The ghosts are very interesting, not a favorite of mine however. I love the bodies everywhere. It's a very good read, curious and interesting story. I definitely suggest it to some of the more mature audiences. Mentally.

If you're a fan of horror anime/manga and video games, chances are high that you've heard of the game Corpse Party. The premise is very enticing, luring you in with a mystery—a group of high school students (plus a little sister and a teacher's assistant) do a ritual that's supposed to keep them together forever. But something goes wrong, and they're instead somehow transported to an alternate dimension, locked inside of Heavenly Host Elementary School, which was demolished after the murder of three young children. The high school was built on top of the ground where Heavenly Host used to stand, and there's something very ... wrong with it. Upon waking up in their new location, the students soon learn that the school is filled with students from various schools...and they have all been brutally murdered. Now they have to try to find out how to return to their own dimension while solving the mystery of the Girl in Red, all while trying not to be killed.

I actually think that the manga version is better than the game version, just because the game has some little details that can be overlooked if you don't know what you're doing, but they're included in the manga. These details aren't necessary to enjoy the story, of course, but they do flesh out the world a little more, and the story is better for their addition.

The art is well done, but definitely not for the squeamish. There's an abundance of blood and gore, along with sensitive topics that I won't list here. The setting does a good job of both drawing you in and making you want to run as far away as you can, and the creepy atmosphere is present right from the start.

Now, that being said, there are a few things I didn't like. For one, every single girl is in love with the main character, including his little sister. That was not necessary to add to the story. If anything, it just detracts from it. Two, there are a couple of scenes that never get explained. While the story does a good job of tying up loose ends for the most part, they missed a few that I would have liked to see clarified. And finally, I'm pretty sure the creator has a urine fetish. It shows up far too often to be comfortable with if you don't share that particular kink, and there's absolutely no reason for it.

In all, it's worth a read if you don't want to devote the time to the game, but just be aware that it's not for everyone.
