Why I love Naho Saenoki from the Corpse Party Series!

Do you guys have a character from a series or a game that you just love so much, almost like a real person?
I do! Even more than one, but I want to tell you about a certain one called Naho Saenoki!

Naho Saenoki is a character from the Corpse Party Series and before I start talking about her, I want to tell you about Corpse Party.
It's a game about a group of students and a teacher being trapped in a haunted school after performing a charm called the 'Sachiko Ever After' and now they're trying to find a way out! Doesn't seem like something out of the ordinary, but it's got a great plot, trust me!

The whole series had it's start on the 22nd April, 1996, when the first game came out, called Corpse Party, but stylized as CORPSE-PARTY. The delevoper back then was KENIX SOFT and Makoto Kedouin was the one who wrote the very first plot and made everything except for the music in the game.

The 4th June 2007 was the release date of a fanmade prequel to CORPSE-PARTY, called Corpse Party Zero. The main producer of this one was Noraenu, the art was made by Sanmaru and it had a lot of Composers. Even the original creator of Corpse Party liked this game a lot and mentioned the main characters' names in following Corpse Party games.

On the 25th January 2011 a group or a single anonymous person published a version with improved graphics and probably fixed bugs of this and called it CORPSE PARTY -Rebuilt-. Except for the mentioned things, nothing got changed about the plot or the characters.

Then, a game got released from the 8th March 2008 to the 28th July 2011, called Corpse Party: Blood Covered. It was released for the PC and had new and also better graphics, bigger maps and now had Voice Acting for every character as well!
This one was made by Team GrisGris, now known as GrindHouse. The artists of this one were Sakuya Kamishiro and again, the original creator of the first Corpse Party game, who also wrote the plot for this one again.

Corpse Party: Blood Covered : Repeated Fear

Now, finally, we're coming to the probably most well known Corpse Party game; Corpse Party: Blood Covered - Repeated Fear, or just Corpse Party. This one's the PSP version, which is mainly a port from the PC version, but now with professional Voice Actors and once again, better graphics.
The developers are Team GrisGris/GrindHouse and 5pb. What makes me really happy is that Makoto Kedouin was in the team again. Also, the release date for this one is the 12th August 2011.

Corpse Party: Book of Shadows with NAHO ♥

Corpse Party: Blood Covered Repeated Fear also had a sequel, called Corpse Party: Book of Shadows made by GrindHouse, 5pb and MAGES. It got released on the 1st September 2011 and it adds lots of new twists to and backgrounds for characters who didnt get much 'screen time' in CP: BC RF.

There are also two other Corpse Party games, but both aren't really following the original plot, so I'm going to skip telling you about them!

So, back to what I wanted to tell you about: Naho Saenoki!
She appears in all games after Blood Covered and also makes appearance in manga-adaptions.
Well, she's dead.
Sadly, she didn't make it out of the haunted school alive, but now she's still wandering through it's halls, looking for information why it even exists, about the ghosts in there etc.
She seems to be rather cold, in the game she doesn't show any emotions like commiseration towards the main characters (Even though she does say she would be sorry for someone at one point!) but is welcoming more information about the Heavenly Host Elementary School rather happily.

She runs a blog about occult stuff and she also posted the Sachiko Ever After charm, but after that, she never posted anything again, but that would be the first reason why I like her so much!!
She's the reason why I started a blog. (I hope I won't have the same bad fate like her though!!)
She likes/loves everything about her mentor Kou Kibiki and studying urban legends and hates humans who make her repeat stuff and 'media scrum'.

Now, back to my reasoning. First, her blog. Now let's talk about her character design.
I really really love her hair color, her hair style in general, the fact she's wearing glasses is a plus as well (I love characters with glasses ufufufu...) and the way she wears her school uniform! It's nice to see that someone has their own way of wearing it.
Her expressions in the game are wonderful as well.
She doesn't show many emotions but when she does, she really does. Like, wow!

Her personality seems to be an 'ordinary' quiet character, but the way she's rather quiet but still saying everything that's important in a special way. She also gets pretty yandere when it's about her mentor Kou Kibiki, she really does love him a lot, haha!!
But she's not yandere like Yuno Gasai, it's... kinda an own way again? What a beautiful character.

I think that's everything I can say about Naho without spoilering too much!!

Do you have a favorite character as well? You should tell me about them!

(This post does have a lack of emojis eeee sorry!!)
Bye bye!!  ♥♥♥
