I'm looking for a manga I read about 4-5 months ago. I can't remember the
names of the characters. These are what I can remember:

  * 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:

> Welcome to Naraka High School, where every graduate is guaranteed a bright
> future. Seriously. Just by graduating, your status will be greatly raised,
> and can even become a bureaucrat without ever needing to go to college.
> Entry requirements? If you can see the floating island, you’re accepted.

  * 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. He has
> never been smart enough, or fast enough, or even tall enough, and he wants
> to change that, since he’s going to high school, and especially since he’s
> met a girl he wants to impress. So on the first day of high school, when the
> students are tasked with writing down “a character (kanji) that they will
> need for the future”, he writes down the kanji for “change”.

  * 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).

> Monsters start oozing out from the ground, and all the students are forced
> to start fighting for their lives. ... When it’s over, more than half of the
> student population has been killed, and there's more: every time the
> floating island aligns with the sun, something like this will happen, and
> every time it happens, students will be expected to fight for their
> survival.
