Spoiler Free Review :3

First of all, if you have not watched Gakkougurashi or read the manga, don't read any reviews don't read a synopsis, none of that. Going in blind is not something I personally did, but I would recommend that to be the most exciting way to read this.

I came from the anime of Gakkougurashi wanting to see if it was as good as it's anime adaptation, as I had not read much manga in the past. And what I got did not disappoint in any way, it was even better than I had expected. I found it to be a very good series read more

School Live is a psychological horror of cute girls doing cute things while trying to survive the zombie apocalypse.

The story is very basic, the girls are surviving in a zombie apocalypse. Its very standard in terms of the zombie genre but it's the characters that truly make this series shine. The cast is so lovable to the point of dangering your health from worrying about their safety. Yuki is my personal favourite and she's one of my favourite characters ever. She's very complex just like the rest of the main four and that's what I love about this. Kurumi is the lovable tomboy, Yuuri is the kind older sister and Miki the serious kouhai. If I ever had to choose a favourite group it would definitely have to be the School Living Club. They just have so much good chemistry together that makes the series that much more fun and engaging to watch and read. The manga helped develop what I already knew about these complex characters and got me so engaged to the point of tears and heart-pounding worry. The characters are constantly evolving and showing new sides to them that keeps me reading and wanted to see more. By the end of the manga, I genuinely think the main four of this series are some of the best-developed characters I've ever seen. Especially how they handle Yuki is my favourite part of this series. The mangaka really has made a beautiful piece of art here with this cast and story.

One of the best parts of School Live that make it so good is its use of psychological manipulation. This series will mess with your head on so many occasions. Its what originally got me so interested in the series in the first place and after finishing the anime I immediately started researching and learning about all the little details the series does to portray information, especially surrounding Yuki. Honestly, the psychological elements of this series are unmatchable and masterfully done. Its one of the only series to every genuinely trick me into believing one thing, only for the truth to be shocking me to the core.

The art for School Live is AMAZING!! The mangaka really has a skill for doing character expressions as if you simply search a reaction shot of a character from School Live you'll immediately see. Their expressions really give a sense of dread or happiness depending on the situation. The detail the mangaka gives with some of the frames are extraordinarily done and is the best art I've ever seen from a manga.

Now admittedly I feel the anime did a 10x better job on the portion it covered but that's because they probably had an amazing director to make the changes from manga to anime to enhance and improve it. The manga portion was still enjoyable to read and the second you get past the anime section of the manga it really kicks it into high gear of tension, fun and memorable moments till the very end. This story will never leave me and it was an epic journey from start to end.

In conclusion, I HIGHLY recommend anyone who likes horror, CGDCT, Slice of life, or simply find the premise interesting to immediately pick this up and give it a read, you won't regret it.

I must say, starting off this manga I didn't have high hopes for it. Zombies aren't really something that catch my attention. Even so, I fell in love with Gakkougurashi.

There's something about bonding with the characters as they struggle to have a normal life, with each of the characters being quite unique in their own way. We see them are their highest highs, and especially their lowest lows. Rarely is there the chance that I disliked a character in this manga (two instances really, I feel as if they weren't fully fledged out), and the friendship among everyone is lively and heartwarming. Surely there are read more

So I finally got to reading this thing. I probably chose the worst time, since during depression season, the last thing you need is even more sadness.

A great series exploring themes of "growing up" and "moving on". Has inconsistent pacing and tonality, from juggling between slice of life and horror. This means I often realized a conflict existed when the conflict was already over, but also made every jump-scare or reaction shot that much more effective, since you never knew when something horrible will happen, when another friend will die.

That was the first half. The second half is much weaker, first losing the themes, then read more
