* It is about a school which only accepts students who can see an island in the sky.
* On the first day, everyone was given a word which turned out to be some kind of power. The main character got the word which allowed him to change his appearance to that of other people.
* Most of the student were killed in the first day by some kind of monster, and there were monsters appearing everyday (except for rainy days).
* There was one student who got the word which made him immortal. Another one got the word which gave him the ability to steal anything (heart, brain, etc.)

* It is about a school which only accepts students who can see an island in the sky:

* On the first day, everyone was given a word which turned out to be some kind of power. The main character got the word which allowed him to change his appearance to that of other people.

  > Rokudou Momiji is a kid who does not matter, an absolute nobody.
