A mysterious, lethal disease is on the loose worldwide, resulting in a catastrophic death rate of humanity, and the increasing rise of attacks, caused by the living dead.
In Japan, several high school students and a school nurse have banded together to escape Fujimi High School shortly after it was attacked by zombies. The group now attempts to figure who or what was responsible for this plague, and in the meantime, attempt to survive the present apocalypse.

Zombie survival tactics. Ecchi. Badass action with humor. Nonstop something going on. I mean, it's just so much fun to read this. For the same reason people love Shaun of the Dead, people should get into this. You don't expect it to be insanely good, you just walk in expecting a "manga... about zombies" but you end up comparing it to the rest of the awesome zombie media that's out there once you're only a few pages in.
Maybe it's not realistic to give this a 10 after reading 9 chapters, but it's been THAT good. Awesome action with ecchi thrown in for good measure. I really hope they keep up this pace and excitement. It's true that this manga isn't really original, but few things really are anyway. The real point is finding the right mixture IMO. Can't wait for the next chapter.

Best. Manga. Ever.
It has lots of references to my favorite zombie movies. It has (despite being a bloody slaughter manga) lots of nice ecchi, which is obviously always the best! It has a classical survival story (who would say no to constant adrenaline rush?). Lastly I love how it is drawn.
Now, the only thing holding this series back is the magazine that only drops 1 chapter each month

I like it a lot! It's kind of exciting, kind of ecchi, and I just love zombie stories like this one. Reminds me of Shaun of the Dead etc. It's fun!
I recommend it

I love zombies and I also love mangas. Not only does this have what i like, it also has the art that makes it good (plus a little bit of eye candy). Nice job but IT TAKES TO LONG TO COME OUT. *sigh* if only it could come out faster.
Great characters, awesome art, exciting action, sexy fanservice. What more could you want?

as the story builds up to chapter 4. it looks like they are going crazy hehe.. the hero and heroine are becoming more and more aware of only themselves and not others
they left some dude dead for groping a chick haha

another one of resident evil kind of story. for first few time,story about zombie is quite entertaining.but now i feel it kinda lame. if the story just about the survivor trying to survive, then i guess i wont read it anymore. but there just 2 chap out,i shouldnt complaint too much.maybe the plot will get better. well my only main complain about this manga is ; it felt like complete RIP-OFF from resident evil.
I've just finished reading 2 chapters and i like them so far. I'm looking forward to the next chapter. The graphic is nice except the zombie characters but hey they are zombies. They cannot look good anyway, right?
I like zombie mangas but this one feels like a resident evil with battle royale, can't put a finger on it but feels like "I've seen this somewhere before" kind of feeling and make it kind of predicatible.
