Highschool of the Dead Book 1 by Daisuke Sato, 176 pages
This is another horror manga from the list I found online. It is about a group of highschoolers who are trying to survive a zombie outbreak. Luckily they are all from a gifted school, or from a school much cooler than the one I went to, as they know martial arts and some are weapon masters. Of course there are the ditzy ones that tag along and will likely get eaten, or someone will die to protect them, but it is a pretty solid group. In a very realistic manner all of the people in the group have a difference of opinion of what they should do now, which leads to some inter fighting.
While this first book is mainly used to set the scene and introduce the characters there is still quite a lot of action and zombie fighting. It will be interesting to see if this just follows the classic zombie line, or if this will transform into something more.
I am not sure if you can see it or not, but there is a parental advisory on the cover. I suspect that is because this is quite graphic and gory, but it could be the ecchi nature of it.
