Sankarea

This story is about a regular high school boy named Chihiro who has an extreme zombie fetish.His love for the undead is so strong that when is beloved cat, Babu, dies he decides to attempt to resurrect it instead of just accepting his loss and moving on.He later finds an ancient text that reveals that if he can find a rare flower and turn it into a potion then it'll be able to bring his cat back to life.

During, his little journey of finding and making the potion he ends up meeting his dream girl, Rea. She's pretty, smart and comes from a rich family who's father likes taking nude pictures of her to 'keep record of her growth' and watches her constantly.I really don't know what is with her father and the picture thing, I think if he keeps it up he's just going to take one step closer to trying to rape her.So, that's why I think she ran away from him in the beginning.Even though, its quite obvious that he cares for her a lot unless he starts toning it down, it just looks straight up creepy.

Anyway, once the potion had been made Rea went and drank some of the potion while Chihiro wasn't looking.I don't know what this thought was going to happen but I think she thought their was going to be an immediate reaction, but when their wasn't she got really disappointed and the failing resurrection of Badu wasn't helping much either......or was it? Turns out the potion does work it just took it a while to sink in. Of course, poor little Chihiro didn't know that until Rea jump off a cliff, died and then came back as a zombie.That my friends is what starts this little dark and romantic story.

The main thing between Rea and Chihiro would have to be that because Rea is now a zombie, her body will start to rot and decay.Now, Chihiro has made it his mission to preserve her and try to keep her body from permanently rotting away.This is not going to miss the ultimate opportunity to have a zombie girlfriend.He would probably regret it for the rest of his life.

There also seems to be some love rivalry going on as well.Chihiro's cousin, Ranko, who he calls Wanko for some reason goes to the same school as Rea and after seeing the two together, she immediately gets jealous.She likes to tease the two a lot and try to get between them and I don't think she'll stop doing at anytime soon.Also, why is that the boys school and the girls school are just separated by a river? They might as well just put them together instead of the students trying to look through the windows to see the other.

This manga is a very good story that's filled with romance, comedy, violence and of course zombies. You'll be wondering the whole time who he ends up with and if he'll be able to save her before she completely rots away. I hope you guys will enjoy it.

Thanks for Reading!
