Bible Black (バイブルブラック Baiburuburakku) is an eroge PC video game developed by ActiveSoft and published on July 14, 2000.[3] Sei Shoujo is the original creator of the games artwork, character design and penned the original script for the game.
Milky Studio has since adapted the game into several hentai original video animations. The first adaption, simply titled Bible Black, consisted of six episodes animating numerous scenes from the video game. The following year, a two-episode OVA titled Bible Black: Origins was released, which served as a prequel to the events of Bible Black. In April 2004, Milky Studio produced a sequel series titled Bible Black: New Testament, which follows the exploits of the original characters ten years after Bible Black takes place. The latest OVA adaption, Bible Black Only, consists of gaiden stories explaining what happened to various characters during the plot of Bible Black.
The Japanese game was republished in 2006 as Bible Black Slim featuring extended scenes, followed by a short sequel named Bible Black Infection in 2008. Neither of which the games original artist/writer Sei Shoujo was involved with as he had left Active Soft by this time.

The game takes place in a high school rumored to have been the base of operations for a coven twelve years prior to the premier installment. This "Witchcraft Club" practiced black magic in a storage room deep within the basement of the institute. Both teachers and students practice an occult religion involving incantations. Sex, horror imagery and human sacrifice are common at the school and in the game.

Taki Minase, a high school student, finds a book of black magic in the isolated storage room of his school. He begins practicing black magic, which has extreme sexual effects that benefit him and his friends, until evil comes forth from the dark craft. Eventually, the origins of the book are revealed, as is the incident on Walpurgis Night twelve years prior, when the evil force was at its strongest. After coming to his senses, Minase struggles to get himself out of the darkness into which he has put himself and his best friend and secret love, Kurumi Imari.
The game has twelve different endings and the storyline often diverges based on choices made by the player, which influence "neutral" endings, "chaos" endings and "law" endings. However, there is only one outcome regarded by its developers as the "true" ending. Bible Black was published in English in 2006, under the name Bible Black: The Game after Active-soft ceased operations.
Bible Black: La Noche de Walpurgis (バイブルブラック Baiburuburakku, Bible Black) is the eponymous first OVA adaption of the video game.
A high school student, Taki Minase, finds a strange book while exploring an abandoned room in the school's basement. With the help of his cousin, he translates the Latin-French writings and finds them to be instructions for dark magic, which is actually a form of Kabbalistic satanism (the translation was not mentioned in the OVA).
Using the magic, Minase is able to make Rika Shiraki love him, as well as help his friend, Ayumi Murai, to get the boy she loves to love her back. Reika Kitami, the school nurse, hears of his magical acts and decides to sway him to her cause since she needs the book for herself. Twelve years prior, Kitami was used as a sacrifice for the previous Witchcraft Club and only survived after making a deal with Satan. She now needs a virgin girl to act as a vessel for her reincarnation as the life that Satan has given her is running out. Kaori Saeki, the head of the new Witchcraft Club, also notes Minase's magic acts and persuades him to come to one of her meetings with the book. After being possessed by a lesser demon, he brings Kitami with him and she takes over the Witchcraft Club.
Kitami holds private counseling sessions for girls, trying to find the virgin she needs. She reveals to Minase that the two girls she has had her eyes on were Shiraki and Minase's childhood friend, Kurumi Imari. However, since Shiraki is no longer a virgin (thanks to Minase), Kitami pursues Imari, who has been missing school recently after walking in on Minase and Shiraki during intercourse. Kitami also regularly kidnaps the art teacher, Hiroko Takashiro, and performs sexual tortures on her after finding out that Takashiro was the head of the Witchcraft Club that had sacrificed her, even though Takashiro had left the circle prior to the ritual.
After Imari is abducted by Kitami, the lesser demon leaves Minase and he realizes that he loves Imari and must save her. With the help of Takashiro and the Bible Black, he finds a spell Takashiro believes will stop Kitami's evil scheme. By this point, it is Walpurgis Night once again, and Kitami plans to reincarnate herself in Imari. Kitami slits her wrists and has sexual intercourse with Imari as the reincarnation ritual demands, but Minase interrupts it and casts his spell on Kitami. This apparently causes the ritual to fail and Kitami to die from blood loss.
The series ends with Minase and Imari confessing their love for each other and having intercourse. Afterwards, Saeki is seen in the Witchcraft Club sanctuary, planning to steal the Bible Black, which was going to be left in there before the entrance was cemented over. Imari enters the room and destroys the Bible Black with a spell that causes it to burst into flames, then reveals herself to be a hermaphrodite, showing that Kitami's ritual was successful. Kitami then decides to test her new body out by raping Saeki.
All six episodes of Bible Black have since been re-cut as a 110 minute film titled Bible Black Complete Version (バイブルブラック: 完全版 Baiburuburakku Kanzenban).

Bible Black: Origins (バイブルブラック: 外伝 Baiburuburakku: Gaiden, Bible Black: Side Story) is the game's second OVA adaption, released on May 25, 2002. Set about twelve years before the events of the original OVA, here we see Hiroko Takashiro and Reika Kitami as students at the school, and several new characters are also introduced. The first episode opens with two female students, Nami Kozono and her lover Junko Mochida, having sex in a classroom after school. In another classroom, Hiroko Takashiro and her two best friends Rie Morita and Saki Shindou are reading Tarot cards. They receive a fortune reading: Great change is upon you. Something will change your life, completely. Soon, Nami Kozono interrupts the girls' Tarot reading, and ridicules them for their interest in Witchcraft, though Hiroko warns Nami to be fearful of it.
The next day, the school receives a new transfer student, Reika Kitami, a beautiful but naive girl; meanwhile, Rie finds the titular Bible Black in an antique store and shares it with Hiroko and Saki. Here it is also revealed that the girls' request to start a Witchcraft club has been denied by Nami, who is the head of Student Council.
Nami takes a strong interest in Reika, and flirts with her in the bathroom later that day, though she does not seem to understand it. When Reika does not return Nami's affection, her flirting soon turns into unwanted sexual advances. One day after school, Nami offers to tutor Reika in a class she is having trouble with, and ends up fondling her. Nami becomes furious when a humiliated Reika rejects her.
Hiroko and her friends begin to translate the Franco-Latin-Hebraic text of the Bible Black, and to get revenge on Nami for forbidding them to start a Witchcraft club, the girls do their first experiment with magic on Nami's lover, Junko Mochida. As a test run, they cast a simple spell on Junko which causes her to masturbate in front of the whole school in the middle of giving a speech. Their trio soon gains several followers after this, and Nami, concerned for her lover, becomes suspicious of them.
One day after school, Hiratani, an outcasted male student who is obsessed with Nami, asks Hiroko to put a spell on Nami to make her fall in love with him, and she does so. When Nami arrives at school the next day, sure enough, she runs to Hiratani and begins to flirt with him. She later meets him in the Student Council room during lunch, where they have sex many times. Hiroko, Rie and Saki look on through a window, amazed that their magic has worked.
After their sexual encounter, Nami, still under the spell, is eager to have sex with Hiratani again, and goes to Hiroko and her friends in desperation. She begs them to use their magic to make him love her forever. Hiroko says they will do this, if only Nami give the three girls a place to practice their rituals and perform their ceremonies in. Nami lets them use an old abandoned room (the very same room where Taki Minase would later find the book twelve years later) and Hiroko agrees to cast the spell. But instead, she casts a "release spell" on Nami, causing Nami to come to her senses and become furious, disgusted that she "fucked that filthy man", before storming out of the room.
Returning to school the next day, Nami is disgusted to find that Hiratani is still very much in love with her. She orders a group of thugs to beat him to unconsciousness on the street. With Hiratani gone, Nami starts to pursue Reika Kitami again, begging her to have sex with her in order to "purify" her body of Hiratani's scent. This causes Reika to finally lash out and slap Nami across the face, saying she is "totally crazy".
Hungry for revenge, both on Reika and Hiroko's trio (which is now called Rose Cross), Nami gains the trust of Hiroko, who allows her to join their club, amused at how eager Nami is to join them after initially berating them. For their first ritual, they decide to summon a demon, in order to get Satan on their side. For the sacrifice, they slaughter a puppy that Reika had befriended upon first coming to the school. However, the ritual goes horribly wrong and the demon proceeds to violently rape Hiroko, thus sending her to a hospital.
In the meantime, with Walpurgis Night fast approaching, Nami takes advantage of Hiroko's absence and makes herself the leader of Rose Cross. On the day of Walpurgis, she decides to use Reika as a virgin sacrifice that will open the Gates of Hell. She has her thugs kidnap Reika and take her to a building, where they show her the carcass of the puppy the group had killed as a sacrifice. Nami allows the thugs to rape Reika while she and the group prepare for the ritual. As she leaves, she tells them that they can only engage in anal intercourse with Reika, in order to keep her status as a virgin. However, the thugs soon grow bored and begin to have vaginal intercourse with her anyway, unbeknownst to Nami. Meanwhile, Hiroko wakes up in the hosptial and, realizing that it is already Walpurgisnight, checks herself out. Upon returning, she urges the group to stop using magic, saying that its power is far too strong for them to handle. However, she fails to convince them, and is forcibly ousted by Nami and the rest of the group, and is placed by Rie and Saki in a closet until the ritual ends.
As the ritual begins, the group chants several spells until a naked Reika is finally stabbed with a large sword several times by Nami as the sacrifice. However, since Reika is no longer a virgin, the Gates of Hell react, but they do not open. The group slowly becomes terrified as they realize that they murdered Reika for nothing. Nami remains calm and demands they need more blood in order for the Gates to open. She goes into a murderous rage and begins to slaughter the other group members (including Hiroko's friends) with her sword until the Gates finally begin to open. Nami, dropping her sword on the ground, stands in front of the gates and begins to deliriously chant to Satan. But she is interrupted when Reika—severely injured and dying of blood loss, but alive—grabs the sword and, with the last of her strength, stabs Nami several times in the back until she falls to the ground dead. A frightened and traumatized Reika falls to the ground in front of the Gates and continues to die of her wounds. Satan sees that she is frightened and dying, and asks her if she wants to live. He offers her a deal: he will let her live if only she give him her soul in return. Sobbing, she replies "I...I don't want to die...I don't want to die!", and she reluctantly accepts.
Moments later, Hiroko, having managed to free herself, hurries down to the basement, only to find that the ritual had ended, and that the members of Rose Cross (Nami, Rie, and Saki included) have been savagely slaughtered. The series ends with a visibly disturbed Reika, naked and bloodied from head to toe, roaming through the town at dawn. The scene fades out with a shot of her looking blissfully towards the sky, thus revealing herself to be the woman that Kurumi Imari and Taki Minase would meet twelve years later.

Bible Black: New Testament (新バイブルブラック Shin Baiburuburakku, New Bible Black), subtitled "The Spear of Longinus", is the third installment of the OVA series. Years have passed since Walpurgis Night, and the girls of the Witchcraft Club have all graduated and made their way in the world. Both Shiraki and Saeki become teachers at their school, while Takashiro becomes a nun. Imari has become a police woman, who serves as a psychic investigator in the Tokken division. Her team is looking into a series of horribly gruesome murder cases that all happened during sexual intercourse.
Strangely, witnesses see a ghostly figure at the crime scenes. Saeki restarts the Witchcraft Club with a new crop of girls, but it's unclear at first, if she is fighting Kitami or helping her. Meanwhile, Imari and her Tokken subordinate, Aki, are caught up in a bank robbery conducted by occult robbers. An impromptu ceremony performed at the scene causes Kitami to take over the possessed Imari. In the aftermath, Imari steals the Lance of Longinus from the bank vault that the robbers were after.
Imari/Kitami has found the virginal "Scarlet Woman" in Aki. She indulges in the sexual ceremony with her using the Lance of Longinus. Meanwhile, the ghostly figure, identified as Jody Crowley, and Takashiro both interfere with the ceremony but with different intentions. The Lance becomes permanently lodged within Aki's vagina and she is now targeted by the various forces of black magic.
The final ceremony climaxes with the black magic forces of Imari/Kitami and Jody Crowley competing over the Scarlet Woman. Attacks fly all around while Takashiro and Captain Yuge struggle to defeat both of them and end the dark ceremony. When Jody seems to emerge triumphant, the Lance of Longinus reappears out of Aki and reanimates the original grimoire, Bible Black. The devil emerges to take the souls of contract: Reika Kitami and Jody Crowley. A final effort by Takashiro manages to seal the grimoire while Jody's soul is taken and Kitami manages to possess Jody's body instead. The final scene seems peaceful with everybody content with the world, but in one of the final shots, we see that Aki's laptop screen saver happens to be several images of a menacing Kitami, hinting a possible future installment to the series.
Most of the characters from Bible Black return in New Testament, however, Minase doesn't appear and is only mentioned once. It is possible that under the influence of Kitami, Imari killed Minase even before the events of New Testament since Kitami did mention to Minase that she would kill him after possessing Imari's body. It is also possible that Takashiro had something to do with his disappearance, since during episode 3, Kitami/Imari blames Takashiro for taking "my Minase away from me." Each episode of New Testament has a title beginning with the letter "R".
All six episodes of New Testament have since been re-cut as a 120 minute film titled New Bible Black Complete Version: Restored ~Rinne~ (新バイブルブラック完全版 Restored 〜輪廻〜 Shin Baiburuburakku Kanzenban Restored ~ Rinne ~), and in addition contain extended animation.
