Synopsis

Framed and convicted of murder, Yoshiaki Maeda has just arrived at Shouran Academy Juvenile Detention Center. He is placed in Cell 4 and is soon greeted by his fellow inmates Gou Iwakura, Masafumi Yoshioka, and Mitsuru Yamanoi, all of whom have been detained on varying charges and sentences. Already believing life to be laden with misfortunes, Yoshiaki finds, to his dismay, that the prison is in the midst of a violent power struggle.

However, things are about to get even worse—little do the inmates and employees know that the outside world has been thrown into chaos by a sudden zombie apocalypse, and a van carrying infected humans has just crashed into the prison, abruptly introducing them to the undead threat.

PROS:
I think this is the best of the 'zombie' mangas out there. The zombies evolve in really cool ways and there is more plot than just survive from one new area to the next one with no new information. There are some boring zombie cliches but also unique twists to this story. There some some strong bonds like a father/child and a huge bromance. The artwork is amazing but gory.

CONS:
The story feels really incomplete. There are no answers to several very important questions. There was a final boss fight but I still felt like the story could have continued.

While starting to read this manga, I was blown away. It was fresh, unique. Not the zombie genre, but its take on it. It was edgy, but it wasn't trying to. Everything about it was my cup of tea. It was obvious that the author was planning this as a semi-long series. Unfortunately, it was axed since it wasn't that popular. Making the ending abrupt and not fully conclusive. If it wasn't for that, I probably would have given this a 9 or maybe even a 10.

TL;DR Manga was amazing at first but ending was shit since it was cut short.

Mixed Feelings
This manga seems promising at first, and will start with some thrilling moments, but after some time, it loses a lot. Nothing like seeing the main characters slaughter hordes of zombies not long after the second time they leave the jail. Also it adds some interesting concepts, like the zombies getting new shapes, that it's truly explored.... once? It's amazing how many good stuff could be done that was dropped. Same thing with the introduction of one of the few female characters, that it was completely dropped and out of place. The worse part is how when things get ''promising'' again, it ends. And it's ...
