A Peek Into The Storyline
There have been several stories about zombies going on a killing spree or zombies taking over the world after an apocalypse. The year 2012 saw an unexpected love story between a young boy and a dead girl, yes a zombie.
The series is based on the graphic novel. It revolves around Chihiro Furuya wanting to kiss a female zombie.

Yet, he continues to look for his ‘true love.’ During his search for the one, he loses his pet cat. He tries to revive her by preparing a resurrection potion.
Before he goes ahead to use the potion on her, Rea Sanka drinks it assuming it to be poison. Rea Sanka jumps from the cliff in an attempt to stay away from her abusive father. The potion, which did not kill her earlier, ends up saving her by bringing her back to life after the jump. This is followed by a spark developed in the heart of Chihiro Furuya for Rea Sanka.
