| - In the vast ocean of manga, there are those about girlfriends, there are those about Magical Girlfriends... and then there's Sankarea. From Mitsuru Hattori, the author of Umisho, comes his latest romance comedy about... a zombie girlfriend. Chihiro Furuya is a high school student with a fascination for zombies; movies, books, games, plushies... To revive his cat, Babu, who died a few days ago in an accident, he's been trying to make a "resurrection" (read: zombification) potion in an abandoned building in the past few days. Incidentally, there's another person who's been visiting the area: Rea, a Yamato Nadeshiko Ojou from a wealthy family and an idol to everybody in the neighborhood, who lives under the shadow of an oppressive father. After finding out what Chihiro's been trying to make, she helps him with the potion while slipping out a mention that she'd also like to die and be reborn. After Rea's father finds out what she's been doing, he sends his personal guard to get her. In the middle of the scuffle, she falls off a cliff and dies impaled by a tree... after drinking the zombification potion, however. An anime adaptation was greenlit, and currently airs as part of the Spring 2012 Anime season (simulcast by Funimation). Quite impressive for a manga that's only 20 chapters in.
