Highschool of the Dead

This is a zombie manga about two people, Takashi and Rei, trying to survive a zombie infestation from their school. A manga about zombies brought me into reading this plus the storyline and art are fantsitic and defintely worth a read.

The mangaka who had made this was an assistant to the mangaka who made Excel Saga.

[Critical]

Interesting idea. Ill give it a shot.

edit: dammit it's megaupload, i hate it ><

edit2: ok i got around it ^^. Are these chapters or complete volumes? 35mb is a bit too much for a single chapter

[Minami Ikki]

Some manga's I've read have had 100 pages a chapter, and a volume is only 2 chapters long..>_>

Anyway, the girl looks quite attractive, I think I'll check it out.

[Critical]

Now, taht's a way to judge a manga. (I understand you very well Minami Ikki ^^)

Anyways it really reminds me of dawn of the dead movie. Like when they go to the minibus. Too bad that Hisashi dude had to die. :/ I wonder what he meant when he said "At the night their movements..."

[Planeswalker]

Yosh I made a Wiki page for it:

Anyway, the girl looks quite attractive, I think I'll check it out.

I second that motive, the girl although bleeding, looks hawt, and the picture is strangely erotic despite the zombies outside.

[Planeswalker]

Yes...the manga contains fanservice. So it has everything. Blood, violence and hawt women.

[Minami Ikki]

Marikawa Shizuka

‎She is the school nurse. She examined one of the zombies and concluded that they are indeed dead bodies.

Her personality seems quite ditsy and her large proportions combined with her tendancy to give fanservice give way to the belief that she is a dumb blonde character.

rofl. I'm gonna be reading the first chapter today, since I've been busy with scanlaton for the past week @_@

[Planeswalker]

^^ Hey I wrote that =D!!!

Anyway yes read it. This title needs some interest to survive.

[Kenken]

[Planeswalker]

I have no idea when chapter six comes out =/

[Kenken]

[Planeswalker]

[Megalomania]

Took me a while to figure this one out, never occurred to me that I had to read right to left.

Great manga, cant wait for the next chapter.

[AznMafia19]

[XV Barixn]

WHOA @ chapter 6.

Reader Warning: NOT SAFE FOR WORK!

[Planeswalker]

Haha yeah...the horror/ecci gets a little more interesting ;p

[XV Barixn]

Now that I have taken time to look at the website with the direct downloads, the release dates are really off and not in any sort of order (weekly, monthly), and heh, Chapter 6 was pretty... interesting, and it's like ecchi on the borderline to real hen(x)a(x).

[InsanesnakeShinigami]

Good stuff! Ive been watching from the backgrounds and just now decided to show my face after reading the 6th chappy!
Ecchi makes me giggle wit joy!
Awsome find!

[hasuke]

Tits? Check. Bigger Tits? Check. Zombies? Check. Crazy otaku who is a carbon copy of Hirano Kouta (artist of hellsing)? Check. Shaun Of the Dead reference? Check.

Yup. We have a winner here. I'm surprised this has gained popularity off of 4chan.

[~*StÓÑy RèL0ÂÐeD™]

[Planeswalker]

http://xamayon.org/hsotd.php

[DireCry]

Wow, my ultimate Manga, even though it doesn't look very "Safe for work" but who cares, I love zombies and I'm going to give this a read later.

[~*StÓÑy RèL0ÂÐeD™]

[XV Barixn]

:|

Well Highschool of the Dead is a monthly series, and to answer your question:

Somewhere in April.

[InsanesnakeShinigami]

Awsome tomorrows the ides of April so it's halfway till an update!

[~*StÓÑy RèL0ÂÐeD™]

lol, they come out so slowly that i lost track of which chapter i had read to....

[Kenta]

ok, i'm checking this out mainly because of that nice 'pose' of the girl in the first post.

did they get the name from house of the dead?

[XV Barixn]

If anyone hasn't noticed yet.... chapter 9 of HSOTD is out!

Up on xamayon.org

[dairymilk]

this shizy sounds good. downloading chapter 1 as i type. can't wait untill it finishes!!

[_Ink]

may be better than night of the living dead, but only cause Ash is not in this manga kicking zombie ass, great girls for the win!

[Nood]

Just finished ch11.
Gotta say It a quite a so-so manga, not realistic yet totally good.
I experienced a rather weird feeling at the last page of ch11, feelings of envy, hate and DIE when seeing sidoh sensei with the girls ****ing like that behind him...like "WHYYYYYYY...........him?"....either way, I hope they die, but the fat otaku is way too awesome.

lol, doesn't it remind you of a waaay better gantz? it's a little chauvinistic but i love high of the dead and yes. Fat otaku guy = AWESOME. i forgot her name but the kendo girl is pretty sick too.

The ex-girlfriend of the protagonist annoys me. She's fuxing useless.

[Nood]

Hmm, not really, ofcourse lots of bloodshed and big tits everywhere...
But otherways it didn't give me that feel.
Ofc, 11 chapters...thats not much. (There would be also time for some poking of the women, but that it comes from sidoh's group...unaccaptable)
Even suggesting that
There are so retarded girls that cna tricked into it in an armageddon, and then suggesting that there is a guy who would frickin go away while the girls are doing it and check out on others...
aggravating.

[Setsuna Ai]

hm i can't wait till the next chapter. Orgies = pwn? The recent chapters aggravate me actually. The decisions and the outcome of everything just make me want to smash things to pieces.
