It does amuse me all the major girls, except Mei, who are ranked highly, are killed in at least one adaption.

Here's the breakdown:

Izumi dies three times (she only survives the manga).

Yumi is killed in the anime (and only appears by name in the novel aside from there).

Aya is anime exclusive, so she's killed in her only appearance.

Yukari, obviously, dies in all versions.

Takako doesn't fare much better; she dies in every adaption under that name (she survives the film, though, thanks to Nice Guy Tomohiko).

Aki gets it in the neck in the anime; not sure yet whether she was in the novel, but I know she's not in the manga or film.
