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.

The most terrifying zombies ever portrayed in manga.

From the slow, terrifying ghoulish zombies of the past, to Danny Boyle's, 28 Days Later runners, and the mutated Resident Evil ones. It all comes to an avalanche, an overwhelming impossibility that is going against the superhuman-like capabilities of EACH zombie on display here. It's the kind of apocalypse that can't be surpassed with simple cardio, with smarts, or plot-armor. You need an inhuman amount of luck to pull whatever the hell the characters of this manga did. It kept scary until the very end, even when it was about to end, I still hated every zombie in ...

This manga delivers everything I anticipated from the zombie apocalypse genre. While not the best, it stands out in its own unique way through its narrative approach. For me, the second half is particularly compelling, as it delves deeper into the zombie theme with an elevated level of artistry. Some characters are genuinely intriguing, while others feel superficial, seemingly contributing little to the story. As for the ending, it could have offered more clarity regarding the fate of the virus's victims, but ultimately, the author's choice to take that narrative direction is understandable. As a fan of zombie-themed manga, I’m glad I had the opportunity ...

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 ...
