A slice-of-life adventure following School Living Club members Yuki Takeya, Kurumi Ebisuzawa, Yuuri Wakasa, and their club advisor Megumi Sakura as they go about their daily lives living at Megurigaoka Academy Private High School. From tending the garden, preparing meals, and going to the library, the club makes the most of their new home… which also happens to be their refuge from the zombie apocalypse.
While much of this volume focus on the girls’ daily lives, we also see flashbacks of the zombie outbreak and their lives before it. At times confusing, I did enjoy the non-linear story structure and trying to piece together the details of the apocalypse and how the girls ended up at the school.
Nice illustrations overall. A bit of fan service that I could have done without, but I did enjoy the contrast between the cute character designs and the creepier aspects of the zombies.
Love the characters so far. An intriguing story. Also includes campus information at the back, which goes through some of the facilities at the school and its founding principles.
Definitely interested in seeing what happens next. Will probably also check out the anime.
