Of the mangas that are part of the Corpse Party franchise, what order should
they be read in? Which of the series are one-shots/not relevant to the main
plot?

Release order seems to be:

  * Blood Covered
  * Musume
  * Another Child
  * Book of Shadows
  * Sachiko's Game of Love – Hysteric Birthday 2U and Cemetery 0: Kaibyaku no Ars Moriend (released on the same day)

Should they be read in release order, or is there a chronological order that
should be used instead?

What is the proper reading order for the Corpse Party mangas?


According to [this](https://www.scribd.com/doc/157761684/Corpse-Party-Manga-
Order) document uploaded to scribd, there is no 'true' order. Some of the
manga are concurrent or they follow their own timeline. This is the (scribd
document) author's suggested reading order:

  * Corpse Party CEMETERY0 ~The Genesis of Ars Moriendi~

> This manga gives you Naho Saenoki's backstory

  * Corpse Party: Musume

> A separate timeline from Blood Covered. It is based off of the PC-98 version
> of Corpse Party with influences from the remakes.

  * Corpse Party: Blood Covered

> Mainly based off of the PC and PSP versions.

  * Corpse Party: Another Child

> This manga is possibly concurrent with Blood Covered's timeline. It is
> recommend people read Blood Covered first before read Another Child in order
> to not be spoiled.

  * Corpse Party: Coupling x Anthology

> This manga is a collection of random stories that does not follow any
> specific timeline. Suggested reading after Blood Covered since it is based
> off of that.

  * Corpse Party: Book of Shadows

> This is the sequel to the Blood Covered manga.

  * Corpse Party: Sachiko's Game of Love? Hysteric Birthday 2U

> The events in this manga does not follow any specific timeline. Suggested
> reading after CEMETERY0, Blood Covered, and Book of Shadows to understand
> the cast of characters better.
