viviON, the company behind the VTuber group Aogiri High School, announced on June 15 the establishment of a new sister group called Yugiri High School. Five VTubers will debut in a relay-style first stream on each member's YouTube channel starting at 19:00 JST on Friday, June 19. Debut videos for each member will be posted on June 16 at 19:30 JST, and videos featuring the new group will also appear on Aogiri High School's YouTube channel that same day. The group's motto is "If it's interesting, stick to what you love!" and it is described as a legitimate sister school sharing the same philosophy as Aogiri High School. The five initial members are Unmei Meina, Amarasu Terasu, LN_help.exe, Shinozaki Shannon, and Miyakiri Ririi, each with distinct character designs and backstories. Yugiri High School will also participate in VHS City, the virtual creator community viviON launched on June 1. A giveaway campaign for debut commemorative goods is planned on the group's official X account.
The five members each have a distinct character concept and backstory, with illustrators credited for their designs. Unmei Meina (illustrator Yunmi) is described as a "monster greedy for approval" who aims to leave proof of her existence. Amarasu Terasu (illustrator Hachibito) is a former ordinary adult woman who became a magical girl, loves dinosaurs, and uses "meticulous calculations" in her streams. LN_help.exe (illustrator Chon*) is an intelligent electronic life form who came to the human world to pet cats and aspires to become an OS that enriches otaku lives. Shinozaki Shannon (illustrator AIKO) is an expressionist who loves music and aims to perform at Makuhari Messe. Miyakiri Ririi (illustrator Momoimon) is a "radical dream girl" with a policy of rejecting fans who share the same oshi, and she wants to become the number one fan of her own oshi.
The KAI-YOU article notes that Aogiri High School's official X account responded to Yugiri High School with "Pachimon High School?" (a reference to knockoff goods), suggesting a possible Aogiri-style wrestling match. viviON also operates the digital comic app comipo and digital comic and voice drama labels, and runs the VTuber group Bebop High School. The debut giveaway campaign on Yugiri High School's official X account will select 10 winners by lottery for a "Yugiri High School Debut Goods Set."
