Well I have to admit, I am impressed with this shit so far.
I've just discovered this series this morning when I typed in "Zombie Anime" in "Google", & this series appear and caught my attention because it has "of the Dead" on it, & have to say I like the manga & the story so far. I'm really intersted with how this is going, but what I'm kinda dissapointed about is that characters that I like gets killed of, & the characters that I don't like didn't...namely that Shido guy & his followers. That guy's a F**khead & he deserves to be killed along with his followers, who are all another bunch of f**kheads for listening to that guy & got one student thrown out of the bus & left for him to be eaten, & to top it of Rei should have shot him on the spot, or she should have just shot him on the leg. KILL SHIDO!!!!!!! KILL HIS FOLLOWERS!!!!!!! KILL ALL THEM F**KING LOT!!!!!!!
I have to say all them girls are georgeous, well only Rei, Saeko, & Shizuka are. I like Rei becaue she brings in something that the chaacter Takashi need to go forward. The two characters I am attracted to are Saeko, & Shizuka, because Saeko can really kick-ass with her sword and looks good with it, & the school nurse Shizuka is just down right georgeous. For a guess, if anything were to happened to Rei, then Saeko might be the choice because I've notice the relationship between the two are developing, and a fling might somewhat happened between them. Or just for a laugh, if there's no one left then how about the school nurse Shizuka, because it wouldn't be the first time a teacher/student relationship happened & Ill have a laugh if that happened, because when the group were at her place and then Shizuka was drunk & naked after a bath , then if Takashi did something for her then some sort of a fling might have happened. But obviously none of this is going to happened because he would still have feelings for Rei and would only pick her
The one character that have been my most favorite throughout the series is Kohta, because he's a nerd, fat, & wears glasses, but he seriously kick-ass when he uses a gun, he even got Asami developing an attraction to him, & she's maybe 6 or 8 years older than him. The Kohta & Asami bit has become my favorite pair & I hope the two did get hooked up, but unfortunately she snapped when her senior is a zombie , and them being a pair looks dimmer than yogurt. He could have atleast though of taking her in the group with him.
Another character I was staring to like is Tamaru. He's a gangster, he's a DJ, & he could have been a good gun buddy for Kohta because the two can shoot stuff together, however the guy bit the dust but he went down a hero. What they should have done is have Tamaru go first then have Takashi go last, because it would be quicker for the group to lift him up. Anyway I salute the guy for what he did.
There are parts that I'm curious & thinking about:
*What did happened to Shido (hope he gets eaten) or his followers (hope they get eaten)
*How did the outbreak started
*Did Saya's parent's made it out
*Will the group meet up with sniper-girl Rika
*How will the group & the mall surivors make it out, & if they did then where will they go
*Is there really a conspiracy going on
Anyway I'm really looking forward to what the next issue brings
Also, believe it or not there are two facts about this:
1) The creator of this manga was infact a fan of George. A. Romano's Dawn of the Dead, so he based this manga on the event of the movie, Meaning both Dawn of the Dead & Highschool of the Dead are in the same world
2) When I first discovered this there was rumors that the creator is thinking of making a TV series or a movie of it, but has not yet confirmed if the studio is giving it the green-light...fingers crossed
