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 Private High School shortly after it was attacked by "them." The group now attempts to figure who or what was responsible for this plague, and in the meantime, attempt to survive the present apocalypse.

I enjoyed the first couple of story arcs when they were escaping the school, in spite of the ridiculously gratuitous fanservice that seems to crop up every 5 pages or so, but after that it started to fall to pieces and the authors political stance was coming across loud and hamfisted.

He seems to really have a grudge against left-wing politics and liberalism in general. He seems to go out of his way in a few points to make a poorly thought out swipe at the left wing. (They'll doom you in the event of a zombie apocalypse kids) and i stopped reading about the same time he brought the protagonists to Militant Fascist Utopia (without even a hint of irony)

As to the fanservice, the guy was origionally a hentai artist, if that means anything to you.

As to the political stance, I'm guessing it eaither reached a point you hadn't read far enough, or that I hadn't read to, becuase most fascist depictions he'd made in the story were just as ironic and imperfect as any liberalism depicted.

Still, like i said, it might be a matter of how far you go, as it wasn't a particualrly deep comic to begin with. What chapter/volume did you stop reading at (not events, number)

I read up to the point where the protagonists had just reached super-boobies-smart-girl's ultra fascist dad's gigantic beautiful megamansion where everybody was clean cut and the world was peaceful and free of zombies.

Edit: Well that teaches me to stop reading your message before the last paragraph, i stopped reading it around chapter 11 or 12

Lol, funny.


havent gotten quite that far yet. I'll have to check the chapters right afterward. It might surprise you. After all, if that's not the ENDING, it seems a bit odd.

Still, not like it was high art either way.
