This universe of zombies and pop music has spawned several adaptations. In 2014, Sailor Zombie began as a 12-episode live-action series, broadcast on TV Tokyo. The series featured AKB48, including Nana Owada, Rina Kawaei, and Juri Takahashi, as students at an all-girls school trying to survive in a world overrun by zombies. The series' success led to a manga adaptation, published between 2014 and 2016, with four volumes written by Jiji & Pinch. Bandai Namco Games also released an arcade game based on the story in 2014.
The premise of Sailor Zombie is fascinating: two months after zombies took over the world, high school student Maiko is alone, wandering aimlessly. Upon finding a school where survivors have taken refuge, she is taken in by Mutsumi and Yuri, two girls as stubborn as she is. It seemed Maiko had finally found a safe place to live, but what follows is a story of struggle and survival in a world overrun by the undead.
Finally, stay tuned for more updates on this highly anticipated anime adaptation!
