The light novel serves as a prequel to the anime and follows the character Hinata and the formation of the SSS. The Angel Beats! anime is the story of Otonashi's time in this strange afterlife, as he learns about his situation, interacts with the others in the SSS and Angel, waits to regain his memories, and decides what to do after he does. Every real person who has submitted to this behavior has disappeared forever, so the SSS members are understandably unwilling. The only apparent enemy of the self-named Shinda Sekai Sensen (Afterlife Battlefront) is the student council president, a short, white-haired girl they call Tenshi (Angel), who wields supernatural powers in an effort to force the SSS to behave like the normal students. The world they are in seems like an enormous Japanese boarding school populated by soulless, though realistic and harmless, NPCs who act like ordinary students and faculty. Before he even has time to get his bearings, a purple-haired girl with a sniper rifle informs him that he is dead and asks him to join her rebellion against God. In the anime, simply entitled Angel Beats!, our viewpoint character, high-school-aged Otonashi wakes up suddenly to find that he can't remember anything, not even his full name. Jun Maeda, co-founder of Key/Visual Arts and scenario writer of many of the company's previous works, has conceived and written all of the installments in the series. Angel Beats! is a franchise consisting of a thirteen-episode anime (plus two OVAs and a short epilogue), four manga, a Light Novel (adapted into one of the manga) and a Visual Novel by Key/Visual Arts.
