I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to understand anything until the end of the first chapter. That way you better understand the chaos of what the characters are going through. I'm no writer so I might be wrong though.

Very good so far.

I love it the detail was superb but the story line was kind of generic regarding zombie flicks but what I really love was the characters they were easily burned and distinguished in my mind funny too add that with rampaging zombies I'll read it any time.

I like the potential it has, except so far I just kind of want to punch Rei in the face.

It's pretty good. I suppose one chapter equals one episode, so this shouldn't be hard to match up with the anime watching. The art is nice, and I see a possible relationship between Takashi and Rei.. even though this anime isn't listed as a romance.

4/5 Not bad for a first chapter. This is my second manga, after Elfen Lied.

Same for me, 2nd anime that made me wonna look in the manga version. I was surprised how ep1 and chapter1 are very similar. Great art, ecchi is stupid but I guess it's ok, the slap scene was better in the anime though :D

I got curious and started to see this in the manga, less on the colored horror on this one but the story is what I'm up to, so nice manga I would say

1st episode from the anime is far different here, place settings, minor events

So I'm enjoying the anime, which is why I decided to start reading the manga.

So far I prefer the anime. SO FAR.
I almost got kind of emotional at Hisashi's death in the anime version. However, he was voiced by Miyano Mamoru. The death of any Miyano character so early on will upset me.

Shall keep reading this though.

Starting to read after watching the hilarious anime.

Even in the manga, Rei confuses me with her obsessive clingyness.

Awesome first chapter!

As expected, the manga is already way better than the anime!

The art is fantastic, it almost has a Tite Kubo feel to it, especially if you've read "Zombie Powder".
The dude that's smoking a cigarette, and get's gut-jobbed in the alley, looks like a character straight out of ZP.

The pacing/excitement is much better as well, it's just executed better imo.

Can't wait for later volumes that get past the anime!

Urahara Out!!

I'm interested to know if the "it's just a flesh wound" line from Hisashi was a Monty Python reference by the mangaka, the translators or just a general saying not linked to MP.

Made me lol though.

Watched the anime before reading the manga. The manga is way better though since it has more detail and the artwork is top notch although I realized that the anime had stuck to the manga quite well.

So far so good.

In the first chapter, Hisashi died and turned into 'them'. However, what i don't understand is why did Rei say that she wanted to become 'them' too just because Hisashi died. I mean she still has Takashi, the one she claims to truly love. When Rei said that she wanted to turn into 'them' too, it basically meant that she loved Hisashi more than Takashi as she wanted to follow him to the death. I mean if she loved Takashi more than Hisashi, she would never say that. She would want to live on and be with Takashi. In addition, she went as far as to tell Takashi that he must have felt good that he killed Hisashi (even though Hisashi was about to eat her) because he must have hated him as they were dating. This right here is the proof why Rei can never claim that she has strong feelings for Takashi, if she did then it would be a load of bullshit.

Also, after I have read a few chapters, after Hisashi's death, Rei seemed to be trying to get together with Takashi. I mean she ignored him when Hisashi was still alive and now that he is gone she's trying to talk to Takashi like nothing happened. Like she never abandoned her promise to Takashi to get married, which made Takashi go through hell. This led me to think that Takashi was Rei's second choice as, if Takashi was not Rei's second choice then the two of them would have dated each other. Furthermore, when Rei said that she told Hisashi first about the reason regarding her staying in the same year, led me to think that Rei does not trust Takashi enough. Otherwise, she would have told him first.

To conclude this, Rei has never shown strong feelings for Takashi throughout the manga, and the anime. She's only trying to get him now because Hisashi died. Other than that if the zombie apocalypse had not occured, i assume that Rei would have ignored Takashi still and continued to date Hisashi

I'm reading it because I've been told that the manga has more stuff than what happened in the anime and I hope it's as good as the anime.
