5.0
This manga offers a refreshing twist on romance and horror. It transcends the typical "boy meets girl" trope and delves into themes of rebirth and self-discovery. The narrative follows Sankarea's journey as she overcomes a dark past and reclaims her agency. Lighthearted moments balance the heavier themes, while the use of nudity is tasteful and serves the narrative. Overall, a unique read.

This volume was very much the same as the anime, with only some minor differences And it ends at about the point I paused watching the anime, so I’m looking forward to the next volume.
This series stars Chihiro, a high school boy who is obsessed with zombies. He loves all things zombies, wants a zombie girlfriend, and is trying to bring his dead cat back to life. He pretty much ignores all girls, fantasizing about a zombie girlfriend. He’s got some odd (read: awesome) family members, including a cousin who’s in love with him, a monotone sister, and a crazy grandfather (I love his family). And then he meets Sanka Rea, a girl who goes to the all-girls school next to his all-boys school, who is having problems with her “perfect” rich family, mainly her creeper father.
Chihiro is trying to make something to bring his cat back to life, and Sanka ends up helping him. And she ends up stealing some of the elixir, hoping that it either kills her or turns her into a zombie. She gets in trouble with her father, though, gets locked in the house and when she sneaks out and he chases after her, she fall off a ledge and gets killed. And then turns into a zombie.
Chihiro takes her home with him, hides her, and tries figuring out what to do with her. The volume ends with her dead body starting to harden.
This volume has a lot of promising things in it, and I’m looking forward to whatever’s next. I like Chihiro, I like Sanka Rea, I’m looking forward to whatever happens next with them. I don’t really care for Chihiro’s cousin, but I do like his sister and grandpa. There are several ecchi elements to the story (although not really that bad, and they’re mostly fully clothed), but it’s also a big zombie love story, and I’m intrigued by where the love story part goes.
I hope that there’s more storyline with Rea’s family, although I’m not sure how that’ll work, what with her supposed to be dead, I think? Her father is a creep, and those storylines always intrigue me. Her mom’s not very good either—so lots of bad parental drama that I really hope develops, or at least shows up more.
I’m just intrigued and curious as to what’s going to happen next, really. It could go in any direction, the zombie lore could go anywhere—I don’t even want to guess. I do want to keep reading to find out.

"If I ever become a zombie then, you will take responsibility...?" - Rea
Chihiro is a teenager obsessed with zombies. No seriously! It's beyond weird... After his cat's passing, his obsession becomes more apparent. Every night, he goes to an abandoned building and reads from an old text book, trying to figure out how to bring Babu back to life.
On night, he overhears something outside and notices Rea, the most popular girl from the all girls school, wandering about. The next night, it happens again but she spots him. Rea learns of Chihiro's plans for Babu and makes a deal with him. If Babu returns to life, he will make her into a zombie.
We learn that Rea lives a very sheltered life and is until the control of her father. It is implied that he sexually abuses her. Even though Babu fails to return to life, she steals a small dose of the recipe and ingests it hoping it will end her life. In the end, Rea dies from a fall. But her wish comes true and she becomes a zombie, bounding herself to Chihiro.
Now Chihiro must adapt to his new companion and difficulties of sustaining a zombie girl...

A girl trapped in a bad situation runs into a boy who has an obsession with zombies and a desire to bring his dead cat back to life. Together they make quite an interesting pair.
This cover looks dark and gory, and while there were some dark moments, this was actually a relatively sweet story with a twist of zombies. Definitely enjoyed the plot and am interested to see where this story goes. It is a cute zombie romance.
