Plot
Average high schooler Kii Kogami is bored with everyday life and hopes that something interesting may happen. Things turn from bad to worse when a strange-looking girl arrives and massacres almost everyone in Kogami's class, reanimates them, and begins to take over the rest of the world alongside her minions. Luckily for him, Kogami manages to escape the building along with his childhood friend Tsukune, and teams up with the rest of the survivors to stop the mysterious figure's plots to end humanity, and the world.

Kii Kogami (児上 貴衣, Kogami Kii)
Kii Kogami is a normal high school freshman who doesn't want to get involved in anything that could add stress to his life, making him do such things as ignoring his childhood friend Tsukune's bullying by Miki and Kaede.

In order to escape his home life, Kii would spend a great deal of time at Tsukune's house, which he considered his happy place.

Why this record matters
The phrase “japanese manga series” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 27, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q11673806. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2012 and 2017.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
