And that ends up being one of the game's least weird aspects. If the title wasn't enough of a giveaway, the entire plot of the game is that all of the school students - dead or otherwise - are forced to throw together a birthday party for Sachiko.

Corpse Party D2: Fatal Operation is also really liked due to giving an explanation for the disappearance of Seiko's mother, Sayaka.

The fact that she started the whole thing by casting a spell she found on a blog without thinking about it wouldn't have been too bad (since she had no way of knowing the consequences) but her complete refusal to think about what she's doing only causes more suffering to the entire cast. She's The Load for most of Blood Covered due to being possessed so often, which leads to the player having to tread very carefully to avoid getting a Wrong End. Furthermore, while she was the 5th most popular character (thereby the least-liked of the original five) in the first game, her increasingly stupid and selfish actions in the sequels caused her popularity in the west to nose-dive. While Ayumi is very popular in Japan and China according to the same poll, fans from America take issue with how despicable she is under the effects of the Darkening (it does not help that Ayumi has the bad habit of being possessed at exactly the wrong time), and for her tendency to run recklessly into dangerous situations (or even cause them with her lack of thinking).The fact that she also have romantic feelings for Satoshi, her own brother, is also another huge black mark against her in America but is another reason she is liked in the East in one Wrong End, she will confess her feelings to Satoshi as she dies, guilting many disgusted players into lying that they love her so she can die happy (although just as many refuse to do so). Interestingly, Americans can't stand Yuka for the very reasons she ranks so highly in other countries her childishness comes across as grating and obnoxious rather than endearing (not least because it leads to an incredibly stupid Trapped by Mountain Lions plot due to insisting on a toilet). With Americans, however, Yuka placed very low at number 10, and is seen as completely useless, and only survives due to Plot Armor. In Japan and China ◊, Yuka is the fifth most popular character, and she ranks 6th with Russian fans.Alas, Poor Scrappy: Even some of Ayumi's staunchest critics found her fate at the end of Blood Drive to be tragic and excessively cruel.
