Shindere Shoujo to Kodoku na Shinigami  

Lovestruck Dead Girl and Forlorn Death God, シンデレ少女と孤独な死神

Akira, a middle school student in his second year, lives on an island and attends a peaceful school. His routine is disrupted when a new student arrives, Matsushiro Nishigami, who introduces himself as a shinigami with the statement "Anyone who gets close to me dies." What could be the significance of such an unusual greeting?

Due to the author Himura Masakis illness, Shindere Shoujo to Kodoku na Shinigami was put on an indefinite hiatus after its 20th chapter was published on March 28, 2013. Himura passed away on June 17, 2015 after more than two years of fighting cancer, leaving this and another series she started while being in the hospital—Nyuuin Note (Hospitalization Notebook)—in an unfinished state. The last volume containing chapters 15 to 20 was published only in digital format on September 24.
