Shun is a dejected transfer student who couldn't fit in with the rest of his class. When the rumors started to go around that a monster had appeared in the western-styled jailhouse, he encountered Hiroshi and his friends, and the five of them set foot inside the mansion.

Announcement

On the 28th of December, 2012, noprops announced via a blog post on MyNikki the production of an official Ao Oni novel written in Japanese. Similar announcements were made via Twitter and on the official website.

The novel became available for pre-order on the same day for ¥1,000 (approximately $11.62) and will be released in early 2013. An official website for the novel was soon launched. Another site, used to sell various other merchandise for the series, was also released. This includes buttons, a book cover and the book itself. A promotional bookmark was available in certain Japanese bookstores.

Japanese hobby site AmiAmi sells an official book cover and clear file sets that feature art from the novel.

  • Release date for "Revenge" (December 20th)
  • That the books are based along the storyline of Version 5.2
  • All characters survived the first Novel.
