Life Note

Life Note is a series within the world of Yandere Simulator. There is a manga, an anime, an easter egg and there are posters of it in Ayano Aishi's bedroom.

Life Note is used to boost Ayano's Enlightenment level. There are five volumes in total, and all of which are located in the Photography Club room. All of the illustrations were made by volunteer Mulberry.

Locations[]

All of the volumes can be found on the table in the Photography Club.

Usage[]

Life Note is connected to a game that YandereDev was developing several years ago before he started working on Yandere Simulator. As soon as Yandere Simulator is finished, he will start working on that game. In the future, collecting and reading the Life Note manga will lead to an Easter Egg that will allow the player to learn more about that game after Yandere Simulator is finished, or possibly even a demo of the game. The "enlightenment" the player earns has no practical functionality or any effect on gameplay.^[1]

Easter Egg[]

As the March 17th, 2019 Build, an Easter Egg corresponding to the main character Yamiko can be activated while pressing F3 in the Easter Egg menu. When activated, Ayano Aishi will turn into Yamiko, and a Life Note will spawn with her.

If one presses CTRL, a display similar to the one of a letter will appear, and it can be used to kill any student at any time with any method.

Trivia[]

Life Note was implemented in the January 1st, 2016 Build.
Before the May 14th, 2018 Build, the manga volumes were located on the rooftop.
Life Note is a parody of Death Note, a popular series about a young man who finds a mysterious notebook that kills any person whose name he writes into the notebook. The man eventually uses it to purge the world of "criminals".
- The volume descriptions parallel and ultimately summarize the Death Note storyline.
- The sentences on the back of the volumes are identical to the instructions and rules of the titular Death Note notebook.
- The main character's name, Yamiko, is a reference to the name of Death Note's main character, Light Yagami, 'Yami' (闇) meaning 'dark' and ‘ko’ (子) being a common suffix for Japanese girl's names.
