After the first few chapters i got hooked and devoured all 6 volumes in a short time.
Can totally recommend this manga, i think it's not that known and that's a shame because i think it's a gem!

Story: 9
At first you may think it's your standard setting but after a few chapters you will see that the story will develop in a way you wouldn't expect. Also the pace is great, not too rushed but it's also not too slow.

Art: 10
The art is really great! The diversity of the characters is what i probably like the most about the art. Also the color pages are ... awesome!

Characters: 10
I think the characters have a good & steady character development and interact really harmonious. Also as mentioned above are the characters diverse, not only in their appearance but also when it comes to their characteristics.

Enjoyment: 10
Once i started reading i couldn't stop until there was nothing left to read, because it was such a good read!

Manga starts after the prologue when the main character becomes a "zombie" that they call Larvae. Having a strong resolve to protect his beloved mistress he keep his consciousness and start fighting the evil to make her life and the lives of ordinary people better. At the beginning the manga isn't that great when it comes to story and characters (Although the art is beautiful) but after some chapters when the story develops further it becomes more and more interesting till the end which i consider as really good. I recommend this manga to all the people who enjoy fantasy with humor, sometimes tragedy and ... a little romance.

The story and some of the characters are good, especially the main three characters. Unfortunately, the villains seem to be the main characters most of the time. The villains are stronger, cause murder and mayhem and have yet to lose. There are two different groups of "good" guys, the Cavaliers and the "monsters" that are good. However, I have yet to see any of these two groups save any side characters or gain a small victory. I do not have a problem when the bad guy wins, but the bad guy winning time after time ... makes me enjoy the story less. If the two groups that are supposed to stop the larvae were in sports, they would both be tied for last place. It makes me wonder how the good guys are cheerful despite being defeated multiple times. There are some comedic moments, which were funny at the begging, but the constant tragedies of the story ruin the timing of comedic moments. Lenette and her antics are the only time that I find the actions funny and the reason why I did not drop the story earlier.

If you are able to get past the constant defeats by the good guys, then you will enjoy the story.
