I actually liked this manga BUT I thought that the fanservice was unnecesary. I'm not a prude or anything, but I thought that the idea of a zombie rom-com was enough to keep my interest without constant shower scenes and panty shots.

Still really excited though

good manga, don't know if there's enough material for a good anime though, it really didn't take that long to read 19 or so chapters, unless theres more i couldnt find
also, people should have caught on by now the japanese idea of zombies is slightly different to the western view of them, with the exception of Highschool of the Dead, they are generally just strong humans that are dead and can reattach limbs that fall off (Kore wa Zombie Desuka?) etc. They don't generally go with the mindless husks that want to eat your innards route since they can't really be main characters in the story

I've been waiting for this myself. Nice to see it REALLY getting a series instead of just being a troll on those "upcoming series lists". Oh and yeah try reading the manga before judging.

Surprisingly this is not the first human+Zombie romcom I've seen. Not even the 2ed. I seen like 4 or 5. 1 or 2 of them were ero-manga with a "romantic" story.

People gotta recall that some aspects of the zombie genre are a little different in american culture than in Japan.
Most American zombies are portrayed either as you would say, Resident Evil/Dawn of the Dead/ Left 4 Dead ect.

Some aspects of the genre in Japan also uses that theme.
Who could forget High School of the Dead recently, but then also recently and not so recent you have Kore wa Zombie desu ka? and let's take the other slight comedy of Sid in the Soul Eater Series.

For me, i'm glad to see they're taking this series and putting it to anime as it gives another twist to the genre itself more than most the culture typically thinks. And let's face it, things get more publicised through anime in america than manga/light novel. Wink

A zombie is a reanimated corpse, I don't see why everyone assumes it's something that will eat you alive xD
