I read this book via Kindle Unlimited.

This book is a fun twist on the zombie genre. It follows Miu who stays up all night consuming horror media, her own little hobby that she keeps mostly to herself about. She's a typical teenage girl, she doesn't sleep enough, she's obsessed with her classmate, Tohno, and when her best friend offers her some "Cherry Soup" she drinks the entire bottle. This soup is designed to revitalise your cells and make you look fresh and bright, however, a full bottle turns Miu into a zombie, and her crush can never find out after he says he hates zombies. Miu has to navigate her crush and growing friendship with Tohno and her life as a zombie.

It is kind of a silly read, but overall, it is fun. It's light and distracting enough to not require a lot of brain power to read which is always nice and not always the case with manga. I definitely will continue with this series.

In this unique romantic comedy, we follow high schooler Miu who has a huge on her fellow student Tohno who shares her love for the horror genre in books and movies. However, what he doesn’t know is that she’s a zombie surviving on cell revitalization medicine and he shockingly hates zombies. On top of that, she has to deal with her overprotective childhood friend and another girl who’s fighting for Tohno’s affections.

“ZC” is a nearly typical rom-com story with the zombie theme mixing it into something a bit more different. It has its fun and dramatic moments but it is a good read thanks to its zombie parts. B (75%/Good)

A bizarrely heartfelt comedy about a girl who accidentally becomes a zombie, but gets to hang out with her crush who is a horror movie fan (that hates zombies).

I thought this would be an off the wall comedy, but it turns out it was a bit deeper than that. Near the end of this first volume it got really serious, but it still kept that off beat humor.

If you want a rom com that's a little strange, this is a good one to pick up.

(stejná recenze u všech dílů)

Moc pěkná kresba, jež byla svým způsobem originální. Je to asi poprvé, co jsem viděla takovouhle kresbu vlasů. Pramínky na nich vůbec nebyly naznačeny, a ani od nich nešly žádné odlesky. Není to žádný mínus, ale u světlých vlasů to bylo hodně viditelné. Moc se mi líbily různorodé výrazy obličejů, které byly mnohdy jednoduše nakreslené, avšak výstižně, a i přesto to vypadalo dobře.

Příběh měl rozhodně zajímavý nápad, protože zombie se v shoujo mangách jen tak nevidí. :D Na druhou stranu je to jinak poměrně normální shoujo manga, kde hlavní hrdinka má crush na nejhezčího a nejžádanějšího týpka ve škole.

Hlavní hrdinka Miu mi nějak zvlášť k srdci nepřirostla, zvláště proto, že jsem nechápala její city k Touno-kunovi (ten červnovlasý) a byla neuvěřitelně naivní, pro což nebudu mít nikdy pochopení. Jinak byla poměrně zábavná a šla hned k věci, i co se týče svého milostného zájmu. Tyto dvě vlastnosti oceňuji. Hlavně mi přišla nečekaná ta část, kdy se věřilo, že zanedlouho zemře, neboť byla zhruba celou jednu kapitolu v depresi. :D

"Cherry soup" byl velice zajímavý vynález. Kdyby se produkoval ve velkém, rozhodně by vydělal mnoho peněz. Nechápala jsem, proč bylo tak obtížné na tento produkt sehnat suroviny, když to dělal středoškolák, který nemá k vzácným přísadám přístup. Mimochodem by mě zajímalo, na čem to testoval, jelikož to mělo opravdu velikou efektivitu.

Nechápala jsem, co hlavní hrdinka viděla na Touno-kunovi. Sice měli společný zájem, ale o tom nevěděla. dokud ji neviděl s nějakou hororovou knihou. Ke všemu když zjistil, že je zombie, nedokázal s ní ani vydržet v jedné místnosti. I po tom, co mu zachránila život. Také byl jednu dobu úplně alergický na její dotyky, jako já bych si na něj rozhodně vykašlala.

Místo něho bych si vybrala Harua, jenž u ní samozřejmě neměl šanci, neboť to byl její kamarád z dětství. :D Navíc byl také pohledný, navíc chytrý a díky jeho vynálezu i brzo bohatý. :D A bylo vidět, že mu na ní záleží.

Hasegawa, dejme tomu holčina, jež ze začátku šikanuje naši hlavní hrdinku. Tuhle postavu jsem naprosto nepochopila. Avšak mi přišlo milé, že když ji Miu zachránila, začala se k ní chovat poměrně mile.

Obálky se mi velmi líbí, akorát bych změnila barvu poslední, protože se k těm ostatním nehodí. A také bych z každé odendala tu kost, nebo bych ji tam aspoň udělala vícekrát, jelikož mezi ostatní lebky moc nezapadají.

I've seen this cover a couple times but if it weren't for Zombiethon I'm not sure I would have ever actually checked it out. I was definitely not expecting to completely power through the entire series. So this review is for the whole series. This was absolutely silly. That's the best word I can use to describe it. A light and fun read from start to finish. With a few shockingly emotional scenes I wasn't expecting at all. My only issue with the series is it felt like more needed to happen between characters. To have this cute moment with Tohno and Rio (the Rio moment made me tear up) and absolutely nothing with Haru felt so wrong to me. Justice for Haru!

Miu befriends the most popular guy in school (who also happens to be her crush) Tohno over their mutual love of horror. After she ingests some 'cherry soup' her best friend gives her, her body begins regenerating. So when she is badly injured, she is turned into a zombie.

This was funny and also contained cute art. The plot is interesting and I like the characters and their inner thought process which we get a bit of during this first volume. Will continue with the story and see where it goes

Super cute shojo/ romance novel. The two main characters become friends over their love for horror! But they both hate zombies. Shockingly enough Miu, the main female, drinks this concoction her friend gave her called Cherry Soup which gives her an increased energy. She ends up drinking too much of it and ends up dying but she is still alive, making her a zombie! How will she hide this secret from her crush and other people at the school? Who knows!
Super funny and has a very cute art style. There's nothing scary about it but if you love horror references and want something cute and funny to read I highly suggest it and all 3 volumes are free on Kindle Unlimited!

La historia es divertida, histriónica y sumamente estrafalaria. Os hará reír y tendréis ganas de zarandear a Miu, que a veces no se entera de nada y se deja llevar por las cosas superficiales.
El diseño de personajes es básico, acertado y bonito.

This is really cute! I wish series like this would be adapted into anime because this manga in particular is dynamic, entertaining, and visually energetic. I was just really impressed by it, and I hope the rest of the series is just as fun.

Sympa à lire et à découvrir, ce manga change de ceux que je lis habituellement dans le sens où l'héroïne principale a un "petit" problème et une passion peu commune.

Miu stays up at night indulging in her horror hobby, making her zombie tired the next morning for school. One day, Miu’s best friend Haru offers her some “Cherry Soup” which revitalizes and energizes her for the day. However, things turn unexpectedly around, when Miu has a date with her crush, the most popular boy in school, Tohno and drinks the entire “Cherry Soup” bottle and gets into a fatal accident. Now a zombie, Miu navigates her newfound relationship while hiding the fact that she’s a zombie.

Miu is a refreshing character. She is contagiously happy and positive although she’s not that bright. I love her relationship with Haru because they both have an understanding and trust with each other being neighbors. Tohno’s character isn’t the clearest but I’ll give him a chance. He does fit the typical quiet, no dating popular boy personality though.

The artwork in this manga really stood out to me. Unlike other manga, it’s all hard lines and pointed edges with minimal details and somehow I loved it. I felt this art style really fit in with this fast moving story with sometimes exaggerated emotions.

Overall, this was a fun read. It’s horror themed with a shoujo twist and very light hearted. If you’re interested in exploring the horror genre I definitely recommend giving this short manga series a try!

Je dois dire que j’avais entendu parler de ce nouveau manga mais c’est seulement quand on m’a proposé de le recevoir que je me suis penchée sur le résumé.

Je ne regrette vraiment pas cette lecture qui est vraiment originale !

Miu est une jeune lycéenne qui manque de sommeil vu qu’elle passe son temps à lire/regarder tout ce qui a trait à l’horreur. Un de ses amis va inventer la « Cherry Soup », une boisson énergisante. Elle va un peu trop forcer sur la dose et va se trouver zombifiée, c’est à dire qu’elle est toujours vivante, mais son cœur ne bat plus.

Elle va tout faire pour que le garçon sur qui elle craque, ne se rende pas compte ce qui lui est arrivé…

Une très bonne lecture, je me réjouis de découvrir le tome 2 qui paraîtra à la fin du mois d’août !

Un shojo original où nous suivons une lycéenne fan d'horreur. Les personnages sont classiques au premier abord (on a la reine et le beau gosse du lycée, l'ami d'enfance amoureux, l'héroïne effacée) mais leur personnalité complètement décalée fait qu'on obtient, au final, un mangas drôle et farfelu. Si on creuse un peu, on peut voir des réflexions intéressantes sur la mort et le temps qui passe.

Un shojo assez rigolo, où une jeune ado fan d'horreur devient... un peu par hasard grâce/à cause de son meilleur ami et ami d'enfance... un zombie. Ce qui n'en fait pas par ailleurs un pur shojo, avec le trio amoureux habituel et l'histoire d'amour impossible... Un bon mix entre amour et humour.
